How To Wear
Wear More & Reapply
Naturals scents have a sheerness that can be layered to increase scent intensity. Two to four sprays are usually best, but it's personal taste. With naturals, sometimes more is more.
While our scents are designed at high concentrations for long-lasting wear, but reapplication throughout the day is a part of our ritual.
Looking for a louder scent experience?
Our dry mist atomizers diffuse the scent for an indulgent cloud-like experience. Spraying closer to skin can provide for a stronger scent experience. Allow to dry without dabbing, rubbing, or blotting. With naturals, you can "build" scent strength using layered application.
Looking for a more linear note journey?
Depending on your unique skin chemistry and the scent, a more concentrated application can also offer a more delineated experience of note evolution.
Applying scent to fabric or hair can also offer a longer scent experience.
