What to do if the aroma is not right?

Little secrets of perfume correction

Sometimes a scent is too sweet. Or too harsh. Or… just not your thing. It’s not a mistake. It’s a dialogue.

Why does this happen?

Oils develop differently over time.
The components "sound" stronger than expected
Sometimes we don't give ourselves time to smell the aroma when it's been brewing.

What can be fixed?

1. Is the smell too strong/pungent?

➤ Add a drop of sandalwood , lavender or vanilla ➤ Or 1 ml of alcohol / base - dilute the composition

2. Too sweet or heavy?

➤ Balances bergamot , lavender , petitgrain , green tea ➤ This is an option - add a drop of vetiver or lemon

3. Too “flat”, doesn’t stay on the skin?

➤ Add a base : sandalwood, amber, labdanum or musk➤ Strengthens the composition and helps it “breathe longer”

The 3-step principle:

Listen again the next day.
Write down your feelings : what is bothering you, what is missing
Add 1 drop at a time , allowing 1 day for development.

A perfumer is not only a nose. It is patience. And a love of nuances.
