Fragrances

Fragrance is a very subjective and emotive preference.
Our individual genetic differences will affect how a fragrance smells on our skin while our sense of smell will also affect how we perceive fragrance in general or on others.
The way a fragrance translates will depend on the wearer's skin type, which can be determined by a number of factors: body temperature, pH balance, skin texture and skin type.

Perfumes are created using a subtle blend of fragrance ingredients, which can loosely be divided into top, middle and base notes.
A fragrance will change from when it is first applied, after ten minutes, and then after an hour or more - during this time the different notes which compound to make the perfume come into play.
These develop at different rates, with the top notes giving way to the longer lasting middle and base notes to reach the heart of the fragrance.

One of the best ways to extend the longevity and increase the intensity of a fragrance is by layering it throughout the bathing and moisturising process - to which our products are well suited.
