Formulated to hold.
Natural materials vary enormously in how long they hold. Light ones lift away within the hour, heavy ones stay all day, so longevity comes down to how carefully the two are balanced. Finding a combination that holds takes testing and nothing else. These four are what survived more than sixty attempts.
Everyone's skin is different, so treat these as a guide. This is a scent people notice when they are standing next to you, not from across the room. Topping it up during the day is normal and recommended.

Fragrance unfolds in layers as ingredients evaporate at different rates.
Top note: Coriander Seed. A fresh, slightly spicy opening that fades within the first 15 to 30 minutes.
Heart notes: Frankincense, Clary Sage. Dry resin and calm, herbal warmth. The contemplative middle of the scent.
Base notes: Sandalwood, Amyris. Smooth, creamy, long-lasting wood. The foundation that sits close to the skin for hours.
Does the discount apply if I buy different scents?
Does the discount apply if I buy different scents?
Yes. Any combination of 3 or more 10 mL vials qualifies for 10% off, regardless of which scents you choose. The discount applies automatically at checkout. No code needed.
Can I return it if I don't like the scent?
Can I return it if I don't like the scent?
A single 10 mL bought on its own is not covered for scent preference, which is why the Discovery Set exists. Try all four in 2 mL first, or take the Starter Bundle and get the set plus a full size of your choice.
Both are covered by the 30-day money-back guarantee. Wear all four for two weeks, and if you go back to your old fragrance we refund you. Nothing needs to be sent back.
Full ingredient lists and sensitive-skin notes are on every product page and unit box. Please patch test before first use.
