Frequently asked questions

Testing

Yes, you can. Our Eau de parfum mini collection let you explore a selection of 3, 4 or 5 fragrances. It's the perfect way to discover your favorite scent before committing to a full-size bottle.
Yes, our eau de parfum samples are also available individually via our webshop, perfect if you'd like to discover your favourite scent. Should you need any assistance in choosing or purchasing, feel free to reach out to us. We're more than happy to guide you toward the perfect fragrance match for you.

Usage

You can spray eau de parfum on clothing, but preferably only on natural materials such as cotton, wool, or velvet. These fabrics absorb the scent beautifully and ensure a refined, long-lasting fragrance experience. Our perfumes contain colorants. We therefore advise against spraying directly onto white or very light fabrics, as this may cause staining. Avoid delicate or synthetic materials, which may react to the alcohol or colorants in the perfume. If you're unsure, test a small, hidden area first.

Fragrance

Yes, our perfumes are well suited for layering. Perfume layering involves combining two or more scents to create a unique and personal fragrance that truly reflects you. Thanks to their balanced compositions, our perfumes blend harmoniously with each other and with other fragrances.
No. The composition, scent experience and quality remain exactly the same.

Wear

With the right techniques, you can make your favorite perfume linger on the skin for longer. From applying it to the right areas to preparing your skin properly, small adjustments in your routine can make a noticeable difference. Apply perfume to warm areas of the skin, such as your wrists, neck, behind your ears, and the creases of your elbows. Body heat helps diffuse the scent more effectively. Hydrate your skin with an unscented body lotion before applying perfume. Fragrance lasts longer on well-moisturized skin. Choose a perfume with a higher concentration, such as an eau de parfum, which lasts longer than an eau de toilette. Avoid rubbing the skin after applying perfume, as this can break down the fragrance. Let it absorb naturally. Apply perfume to your clothing (if the fabric allows it) for a longer-lasting scent. Materials like wool and cotton hold fragrance better than skin. Layer your scent using a matching body lotion or hair perfume to intensify the fragrance experience.

Result

Eau de parfum typically lasts between 6 and 8 hours on the skin, depending on factors such as your skin type, temperature, and activity. Want your fragrance to last even longer? Apply it to well-hydrated skin, for example after using an unscented body lotion or oil. For a long-lasting effect, 2 to 4 sprays are usually enough. Less is often more, especially with a perfume that has a high concentration of fragrance oils, like eau de parfum.

Care instructions

Store your eau de parfum in a cool and dry spot, for example in the original box. We advise against storing it in the bathroom due to temperature differences. Do not expose the eau de parfum to direct sunlight. This is important for good preservation of the fragrance.

Product features

Yes, eau de parfum is very well suited for daily use. Thanks to its higher concentration of fragrance oils, the scent lasts longer, allowing you to enjoy a refined fragrance experience throughout the day without it being overpowering.
Yes. For a Reason is the new name of the fragrance previously known as Aura by SOPHIA MAE. The scent remains unchanged.
The name has been updated to better align with the current collection and positioning. The fragrance itself has not changed.
