Talk to us

We will not give you a number of hours, because the honest answer is that it depends on your skin and the weather more than on the bottle.

What we will do is put it on your wrist and ask you to come back in an hour. Oils generally sit closer to the skin and last longer than sprays. Warm skin, which most of us have here, lifts a scent faster and shortens it.

No, and we will not pretend otherwise. Nothing in this shop is described as a copy or a version of anything, because those descriptions are usually wrong and the customer finds out in week two.

Tell us what you liked about it instead. Say whether it was sweet, woody, fresh or powdery, and we will find you two or three from the counter that go in that direction on their own terms.

An attar is oil with no alcohol in it. It goes on in small amounts, sits close to the skin, lasts longer and does not carry across a room. A spray is diluted in alcohol, opens brighter, travels further and fades sooner.

In this heat a lot of people find oil more comfortable, and it is also the cheaper way to wear something good, because you use less of it.

Yes. Most of the oils are sold in three millilitre bottles as well as twelve, and several of the sprays come in a small size.

We also fill three millilitre samples of anything on the counter for a small charge, which comes off the price if you buy the full bottle within a month.

By bank transfer. The order is held with your name and a reference, and the confirmation screen and email show the account and the amount.

We make it ready once the transfer shows. There is no card payment on this website and nothing here charges you automatically.

Collection from the shop on Chaandhanee Magu. We do not run a delivery round in Malé.

For the islands we box the order and hand it to the cargo boat you name, on the sailing day you tell us. The boat's freight is paid to the boat and never appears on our bill.
