Troubleshooting
Fragrance fades quickly
Apply to pulse points like wrists and neck for better diffusion. Reapply as needed throughout the day due to its Eau de Cologne concentration.
Scent does not match expectations
Fragrance perception can vary based on individual body chemistry and environment. Allow the scent to settle on the skin for a few minutes.

Compatibility: This fragrance is designed for topical application on the skin. It is generally compatible with most skin types due to its natural ingredient base. However, as with any fragrance, discontinue use if irritation occurs.
