It varies a lot depending on how we experience the notes and the result. Sometimes it can go very quickly, taking just a few weeks, while other times it can take several years. Our goal is always to be fully satisfied, and if we are not, the process
Our perfumes contain between 15 and 20 percent perfume oil. The amount is adjusted based on the specific needs of each scent. We determine the oil percentage based on what is needed to achieve the desired intensity and lasting power. That does not al
Because we have cut as many costs as possible, we are able to offer a lower price without compromising on quality. Our scents come straight from the factory and do not go through multiple middlemen before reaching you as a customer. We have chosen to
Our perfumes are designed to be long lasting, just like high-end designer fragrances. In some cases, they even last longer. The lasting power depends on the composition of the perfume, but also on your skin’s pH level. If you feel that your scent fad

To preserve your perfume at its best, store it in a cool, dark place with a stable temperature and avoid humid environments. The bathroom is not ideal, as temperature changes can affect the scent’s longevity. It is also important to keep the perfume
None of our perfumes are tested on animals, and all of them are 100 percent vegan. If a fragrance includes a note that is not naturally vegan, such as honey or milk, it has been created using synthetic alternatives.

Yes, many of our perfumes are inspired by well-known designer scents. But since 2024, we also offer our own fragrance creations called ESSNCE Originals. These are completely unique and developed entirely by us from scratch.

How long a perfume lasts depends on several factors. An Eau de Parfum (EDP) typically lasts 5 to 8 hours, but your skin’s oil level, pH, and moisture all affect how the scent develops. Oily skin can enhance certain notes, while drier skin may cause t

Perfume contains perfume oil, which can vary in color depending on the ingredients. If you spray a colored, oil-based liquid on light-colored clothing, it can cause stains. We recommend being careful when wearing light fabrics and applying perfume di
In checked luggage, you're allowed to bring perfume in bottles of up to 500 ml each, but there’s a limit on the total amount: a maximum of 2 litres of liquid and 2 kg net weight of flammable products (like perfume). So yes, you can absolutely bring s
Yes, you can. Perfumes with notes like almond, hazelnut or other nuts do not contain real nuts. It’s not possible to extract a usable perfume oil directly from nuts – instead, synthetic fragrance molecules are used to replicate the scent character. A
A perfume doesn’t go bad in the same way food does – it technically doesn’t have an expiration date, as it’s mostly made of alcohol where bacteria can’t thrive. The scent may change over time, but in general, an unopened perfume can last for several
Of course, we’d love for all our perfumes to be available as body lotions, but it’s a big investment and cost for us, which is why we started with three (Carashmellow, Sweet Cara, and Irresistible Enigma). Our hope and wish is to release more scents

If you are sensitive to fragranced products, it’s a good idea to be cautious with scented lotion as well. Just like with fragranced soap or fabric softener, sensitive skin may react. If you’re unsure, always test on a small area of skin first and wai
The date on the top of the tube is set by our production team and guarantees that the product will maintain its original quality up to that point. Think of it as a best-before date, but your body lotion may very well last much longer than that.
Water is an essential key ingredient in our body lotion, it provides immediate hydration and helps nourishing ingredients like aloe vera, shea butter, and natural oils absorb better. It gives the lotion a light, silky texture that sinks into the skin
Just like with perfume, how long a scent lasts is very individual, it will vary from person to person. The same goes for our body lotions. A scented body lotion doesn’t last as long on the skin as an Eau de Parfum and provides a more subtle, skin-clo
