DELUXE

The SUPERFUMISTA mobile application guides you through 3 steps:

‣ Describe your desires and preferences by answering a few questions and share any files that will help to better express your ideas for your project,
‣ Compose your perfume from the Scent Carousel by selecting notes and ingredients from the 16 olfactory families,
‣ Compare the formulations (perfume versions) that we send you, let us know of any adjustments that need to be made, then confirm the version of your choice.

Throughout the creation process, we communicate with you on the SUPERFUMISTA app chat to better understand your project and bring it to life. At each stage, we inform you about the progress of your perfume (section “Follow your creation”) until the long-awaited moment of receiving your final perfume.

We offer Eau de Parfum composed of alcohol (ethanol) and the following 2 types of materials:

‣ Natural : extracts of flowers, plants, trees and other plants (in the form of essential oils, absolutes, resins, etc.). We do not use any substances of animal origin.
‣ Synthetics : compounds identical to molecules present in nature and used for various “good” reasons (protection of endangered species, complex or impossible extraction, variability and cost of certain species) or “effect” compounds (without correspondence in nature).

In a perfume, magic and alchemy take place thanks to these two types of ingredients: each plays its part in an olfactory symphony, thanks to its properties, its qualities and its function.
The art of perfumery is to combine them to create the ideal fragrance that allows you to express yourself with the right emotions.

This is precisely our goal, to adapt our support for your perfume project, according to your desires and your knowledge. We exchange with you on the chat during the entire creation of your perfume. The SUPERFUMISTA application also allows you to define for your nose, 3 levels of "olfactory expertise ":

‣ Apprentice : if you are not familiar with the materials, you can choose from notes (floral, woody, etc.) among 16 olfactory families.
‣ Explorator : you have notions about the ingredients of each olfactory family, you can then access the 127 materials of the 16 olfactory families.
‣ Maestro : you are familiar with most of the ingredients of the 16 olfactory families and know how to combine them, you will then be able to suggest proportions for each of them.

This level allows you to access a simplified version of the olfactory carousel or, on the contrary, a more advanced one. But nothing is definitive... you can modify this level at any time during the creation of your perfume.

The trail, balance or originality of a composition are qualities sought for a perfume, but its hold seems to play a particular role. With scents, everything is a question of temporality , because a perfume is a kind of story: sudden olfactory memories, the expression of the mood of the moment or that of an anchored and affirmed identity… Thus, the story that a composition tells begins with top notes as an introduction. The most volatile and therefore ephemeral, they quickly allow the plot to develop with heart notes . The latter then blend into more muted base notes , which can last for several hours, during a conclusion called drydown in English. This relationship between intensity (impact) and duration can be represented in the form of an evaporation curve on which we visualize the evolution of each note over time.
So, when it comes to tenacity, it seems logical to rephrase the question: "What notes will last a long time on my skin?" or even: "What are the story and emotion that I want to express during a slow conclusion"...

So, the answer varies depending on each creation, and therefore the ingredients that compose it. In the durability of a perfume, the quality of the ingredients as well as the types of materials used are important. Synthetic musks, sandalwood or even resins with warm notes whose intensity is relatively less compared to the freshness of citrus fruits or the radiance of aldehydes, but their imprint on the skin can be quite remarkable in terms of duration.
The latter also has its say, because our own chemistry (our pH, our diet, our environment) will allow certain materials to settle in like a second skin while others will go astray, without warning.

For all deliveries to the French overseas departments and territories and abroad , we apply a “ flat rate shipping charge ” depending on the destination.

Given our artisanal approach to creating a truly bespoke perfume, from the moment you create your perfume on the app and confirm your order, you will need to count on:

‣ About 4 weeks to receive your initial formulations: based on your instructions and our various exchanges on the application chat, we compose the different formulations of your perfume, let the ingredients mix harmoniously (maturation process) and we send them to you. You then take the time you want to test them on your skin, compare them and tell us your preference.
‣ Then about 4 weeks to receive your finished perfume: we make your perfume based on your choice and give it a little time to "make" (maturation of the concentrate then maceration in alcohol). Then, we proceed to the "icing" and filtration of the perfume to eliminate any suspended particles. Finally, we make your box (or boxes) and send your package by mail!

Beyond this minimum time, you can possibly ask us to make adjustments in the form of additional formulations (included in the route you have chosen), which extends the deadline by approximately 3 weeks. If necessary, you can purchase a set of 3 additional formulations (excluding the initial route), which extends the deadline by approximately 3 weeks again.
