Something to remember....

Please note that due to high demand of Scentimental products, your newly mixed and bottled perfume has not had the opportunity to mature yet. Maturation is the process of letting the newly compounded blend of fragrance materials age before it is put into a bottle. While we know you are super excited to start using your perfume immediately, storing your new Scentimental perfume in a cool, dry place away from sunlight, like the back of a drawer, for 2-4 weeks will just make it even better! During this time, the perfume's scent will develop and become richer. A minimum of 2 to 4 weeks is needed for all the ingredients of the formula to harmoniously blend together in a chemical process similar to the ageing of wines..

The Science Behind Fragrance Maturation – The Art of Aging:

Maturation, often likened to aging fine wines or whiskies, is a crucial stage in the perfume-making process. After a perfumer blends various aromatic ingredients, the mixture undergoes a period of rest, known as maturation. This stage allows the perfume to evolve and reach its full potential. During maturation, the fragrance components interact and blend more seamlessly, leading to a more balanced and refined scent profile.
The maturation process involves letting the perfume sit in a controlled environment for a period of a few weeks. This time allows the various notes—top, middle, and base—to integrate and harmonize. The longer it stands, the better it will smell!

During maturation, the perfume goes through these changes:
Top Notes: The first scent you smell after applying perfume. Lighter, fresh, and citrusy notes that evaporate quickly Middle Notes: The middle notes that develop after the top notes fade. Complex and well-rounded notes that make up the heart of the fragrance

Base Notes: The perfume's lasting aroma that lingers for hours. The strongest notes that you remember most
This process makes the perfume more balanced and long-lasting on your skin.

Interesting Tips

There's actually a functional reason why we tend to apply perfume on our pulse points (like the insides of your wrists and elbows, behind your ears, on your neck, the back of your knees, etc.): The skin is the thinnest at those points, which means it's closer to your blood and body heat. As the fragrance warms, the aroma process begins.

Once you apply on your pulse points it may feel instinctive to rub your wrists or elbows together to blot the fragrance (especially if your skin feels pretty damp). But rubbing together is considered a big perfume no-no, it just makes the top notes burn off a little quicker. If you would like to blend two fragrances together, or would like to blot away some of the juice, try tapping your wrists together instead of creating friction. You can also dab your wrist up your arm, onto your neck, or anywhere you'd like to deposit some scent without messing with its longevity.

Spritz on a perfume right after a shower, as the steam helps open up the aroma. When you get out of the shower, your skin and body temperature is high and heat helps diffuse the fragrance. Plus, your skin is clean and free from sweat and excess oil, which can buffer the fragrance. Your pores are open, and your skin is hydrated naturally from the water - and hydrated skin holds fragrance.

Hydrated, moisturized skin is really going to hold fragrance a lot longer.

You don't have to hop in the shower to help enhance your perfume. A body oil, body lotion, or balm to hydrate will also help hold the fragrance longer as well. Just apply your product of choice to the areas you want to spritz (or all over your body, while you're at it), and the splash of moisture should help the perfume leave a stronger trace.

If you have a scented body oil and/or lotion, layering it under your perfume can enhance the fragrance and keep your skin hydrated, which inherently makes both aromas last longer. You can also layer your perfumes, if you choose: "When different scent notes hit together, then you have an even more robust collection of top, middle, and bottom notes. That definitely helps to make the fragrance last.

Your vanillas, your wood notes, sandalwood, cedarwood, oud anything like that will last longer on the skin. Whereas floral and citrus top notes are ones you tend to smell right away but are gone the quickest. You might want to look for gourmand fragrances which include "edible" notes like honey, vanilla, chocolate, etc. as these last an incredibly long amount of time.

Perfume expires when it interacts with air, heat, and sunlight. Store your fragrance in a cool, dark area away from sunlight (note: not your bathroom). H2O is a force to reckon with. Similar to other substances, water damage will destroy a fragrance. Humidity affects a perfume’s make-up and can cause unwanted chemical reactions to occur.
