Talk to us

Because a scent smelled for two minutes in a studio is not a scent you know. A month of wearing it to work, in the rain and on a day you were tired of it, is.

So a full bottle of your own build needs a sample of that build against your name first. We check the batch code before making anything, and if there is no sample we will write back rather than take your money.

Five weeks from the appointment. Twenty eight days of maceration, then filtering and about a week resting in the bottle.

There is no express option and no exception, including for weddings. Come to us eight weeks before a date and everything is comfortable.

No. We do not make copies, and beyond the question of somebody else's name, a copy built from memory and a photograph disappoints after a four week wait.

Bring the bottle to an appointment and we will smell it together and talk about what you actually like in it. Frequently it turns out to be one material, and that is a far better place to start.

No. It is expensive, it varies enormously between batches, and we cannot promise you the same bottle twice, which is the one promise this studio is built on.

There are people in Malé who do it well and we will tell you who if you ask.

By bank transfer. The order gives you a reference, and the confirmation screen and the email show the account and the amount.

The batch starts once the transfer shows, because materials are bought against it. There is no card payment here, no instalment plan and nothing that charges you automatically.

No, and this is not us being awkward. An alcohol based scent is a flammable liquid and classed as dangerous goods, so it does not go on a domestic flight or a cargo boat without a proper declaration we are not equipped to make.

Island customers collect on a trip to the city, or send somebody with the order reference. We say this before you order rather than after.
