Frequently Asked Questions:
Are your products authentic?
Yes, we guarantee that all our products are 100% authentic.
What are testers?
Testers are even more discounted than the fancy boxed versions and are great if you don't have a need for the fancy packaging. Testers are 100% authentic, fresh and completely full like the original fragrance, however they are meant for the counter at the department store. They sometimes comes without the cap.
What is the difference between Perfume, Eau de Parfum, Eau de Toilette, and Eau de Cologne?
The differences are simply a matter of the amount or concentration of oils in the fragrance. These oils are called "juice." The highest concentration of "juice" is in perfume (or parfum). Next would be Eau de Parfum, then Eau de Toilette, and finally Eau de Cologne.
Actually, Eau de Toilette and Eau de Cologne are generally interchangeable, particularly in Men's fragrances. After Shave has the least amount of oils. The higher the concentration of "juice" the longer your fragrance will last, and the less you need to apply.
Why do some fragrances seem to last much longer than others?
People with dry skin usually find their fragrance holding time shorter than those with oily skin because oily skin has more natural moisture to hold in the fragrance.
PH levels (amount of acidity in our skin) also varies slightly from person to person. Our individual levels of PH will determine how each ingredient in a fragrance will react. People with dry skin usually find their fragrance holding time shorter than those with oily skin because oily skin has more natural moisture to hold in the fragrance.
How can I make my scent last longer?
Fragrance lasts longer on some people than on others because of differences in our skin (oily or dry) and in our PH levels. To achieve a longer effect, try layering your fragrance. Using the fragrance bath gel, (if the company offers one), then the moisturizer or powder, and then the Eau de Toilette, Eau de Parfum or Eau de Cologne, will usually have a longer lasting effect.
Also, apply your fragrance low on the body, as well as behind your ears and on your neck, so that the scent rises and you won't lose it as quickly. A light spray on the hair can last all day.
What is the difference between a splash and a spray?
There is absolutely no difference in the fragrance. The difference is in the application only. However, a spray bottle, being ostensibly sealed all the time, may actually have a longer shelf life. Making the decision between spray and splash is entirely a matter of personal preference.
Why do some men wear Cologne, and others prefer to wear After Shave?
Cologne's fragrance will generally last much longer than After Shave. However, many men choose to wear both. The fragrance lasts longer, you can use less of each, and you get the facial benefit of an After Shave.
Why does fragrance contain alcohol?
Alcohol makes the fragrance emanate from your skin. Without alcohol, you would be the only person who knew you were wearing any fragrance at all.
What are the differences between After Shave Lotion, After Shave Gel, and After Shave Balm? After Shave Lotion will usually sting as well as help close the pores after shaving. After Shave Balm is actually soothing to the skin. After Shave Gel also soothes the skin, but cools the skin as well and relieves razor burn.
What is shower gel?
Shower gel is soap in a different form. It is made for use by both men and women, foams up well and leaves your chosen fragrance on the skin. It then enhances your cologne or perfume and the fragrance will last much longer.
What do fragrance notes refer to?
Fragrances are comprised of many different scents, these scents are called "notes."
Top notes are very light and last just a few minutes (5-10 minutes). Middle notes become apparent in about 15 minutes after application. These can last up to an hour or more. Bottom notes are the heavier ingredients. These last the longest, usually for several hours.
How can I keep my fragrance from going bad?
Keep all fragrance in a cool, dry area, and away from windows as sunlight can unbalance the various ingredients. An opened bottle should be kept in its box to insure a longer shelf life.
What is sterling silver?
Sterling silver jewelry is composed of 92.5% (925 parts per thousand) silver and 7.5% copper alloy. The copper increases the silvers hardness. Produced in mines (mainly Peru and Mexico) sterling silver has become a popular affordable alternative to white gold or platinum. It can be polished into a higher sheen than any other white metals.
What is rhodium plating?
Rhodium, which is a member of the platinum family, is a metal that is durable and hard. It has a whitish and silver appearance. When plated on other metals it produces a bright, shiny and long lasting silver-colored finish. This coating helps protect the silver from tarnishing, scratching, and corrosion.
What is a Cubic Zirconia (CZ) Stone?
Cubic Zirconia is the finest substitute for diamonds. It can come in various colors and with the proper cleaning, it will retain its beauty for years. It is a synthetic gemstone that is chemically comprised of from a cubic form of zirconium oxide and yttrium oxide. Cubic Zirconia’s are cut in the same way diamond are cut. Depending on the styles, our CZ’s are both machine-cut and hand-cut. CZ’s are so solid that it outweighs a diamond of the same millimeter diameter by 1.7 times more.
How do I care for my sterling silver jewelry?
To prevent jewelry from damage, store your sterling silver jewelry in a cool, dry place individually in pouches or plastic bags to keep them from environmental harm. Do not rub jewelry with coarse fabric, it may scratch the jewelry surface. Do not expose to direct sunlight for long periods of time, it may fade the color of the stone. Try to avoid direct contact with perfumes and lotions because it may leave residue on the jewelry.
To clean, wipe your jewelry with a damp cloth of warm water-detergent solution, then rinse well with clean water and air dry. If your jewelry becomes tarnished, use a polish solution or a polishing cloth to the clean the piece.
Does your plating tarnish?
We normally use high quality Rhodium plating and rhodium is considered a precious metal 3 times more expensive than gold. This coating helps protect the silver from tarnishing, scratching, and corrosion; however, the lifespan of your plating depends on the care and environment. Moisture, temperature, lotions, sweat, and perfumes can all effect the lifespan of the plating.
