FAQs

Does it actually last 12 hours?

Yes — because of concentration, not marketing. Ascent uses an extrait de parfum formula with up to 40% perfume oil. A standard Eau de Toilette contains 5–15%; the rest is alcohol that evaporates within hours. More oil means the scent stays on your skin and releases slowly all day. The chemistry is real.

Why buy a 20 ml refill instead of a regular 150 ml bottle?

Because you're paying for what you actually wear. A 20 ml Ascent refill contains the same amount of pure fragrance oil as a 100 ml Eau de Toilette — it's just not diluted with alcohol. No heavy glass, no oversized box, no brand markup. And when you want a different scent, you swap the refill — not buy an entirely new bottle.

How does the cashback on the Discovery Set work?

Order the Discovery Set, try all the scents over a few days, then pick your favourite. When you order your Starter Pack, the full price of the Discovery Set is deducted automatically — so you try everything for free. No codes, no forms.

Can I buy just the refill without the case?

Yes — if you already have a case, just order a refill on its own. If you don't have a case yet, we strongly recommend starting with the Starter Pack. The aluminium case protects the perfume, makes it portable, and is a one-time purchase. After that, refills alone is all you need.

Are returns free?

Yes, completely free. If you're not happy with your purchase, contact us within 14 days of receiving your order — including gently used perfumes — and we'll arrange the return and refund you in full.
