Troubleshooting
Fragrance fades quickly
Ensure application on hydrated skin (moisturize before applying fragrance). Apply to pulse points where body heat helps diffuse the scent. Reapply a small amount if needed.
Scent profile seems different than expected
Fragrance perception is subjective and can be influenced by individual body chemistry, diet, and environment. Allow the fragrance to settle on the skin for a few minutes; top notes can be fleeting. Consider the temperature and humidity, as these can affect how a fragrance smells.
Dispenser is clogged or not spraying properly
Gently wipe the nozzle with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use water or solvents. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Application:
For optimal performance, apply the fragrance to pulse points such as the wrists, neck, and behind the ears.
Avoid rubbing the wrists together after application, as this can break down the scent molecules and alter the fragrance's evolution.
A light mist over clothing or hair can also enhance longevity and scent diffusion.
Storage:
Store the bottle in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Keep the cap on tightly when not in use to preserve the fragrance's integrity.
Care:
This is a fine fragrance and should be treated with care. Avoid spraying directly onto delicate fabrics or jewelry, as fragrance oils can sometimes cause staining or damage.
