FAQS

What is the difference between Parfum, Eau de Parfum and Eau de Toilette?

These terms reference the concentration of essential oils in a scent. Parfums or perfumes are the strongest strength with approximately 20-30% of essential oils. Eau de Parfum (EDP) represents midrange strength consisting of 10-15%, and Eau de Toilette (EDT) is the lightest strength containing the least amount of essential oils with a range of 3-8%. Bellekin’s EDP compound is 18-25%, and our EDT compound is 7-9%.

How do I make my fragrance last all day?

The most significant influence on scent longevity is ensuring that skin is properly moisturized prior to applying the scent. Layering products such as body lotions or oils with the same scent will also increase the longevity and intensity of a scent

Where should I apply fragrance?

We recommend applying your Bellekin fragrance on each of your wrists and each side of your neck. We also recommend spraying the back of your neck so that you leave a scent trail behind you. It is recommended to apply the fragrance directly to the skin to allow the fragrance to blend with one’s chemistry as well as emit scent when warmed by the body. Do not rub the fragrance on skin or rub your wrists together, as this will alter how the fragrance develops.

Why has my Bellekin fragrance changed color?

Some notes in our handcrafted fragrances can be photosensitive. It is possible they can change color over a long period of time, if they are exposed to direct light.

What is the shelf life of Bellekin fragrances?

The shelf life of our artisanal fragrances begins with the first spray once the scent has been introduced to air, allowing for a 3-5 year shelf-life as long as they are stored properly.

Where should I store my Bellekin fragrance?

To maintain the quality of your Bellekin scents after purchase, we advise that they are stored away from daylight, heat and extreme temperature change, which are the greatest causes of perfume deterioration. 

The perfect environment for a Bellekin fragrance is a dark, cool space like a drawer, or on a shelf in a closet in a room with stable temperature. Do not store your fragrance in a bathroom or car.

What is an ancillary product?

An ancillary product is typically a bodycare item that is scented to match its namesake fragrance and is used to layer and intensify the scent but is also excellent to wear on its own.
