QUESTION ABOUT PERFUMES

Our perfumes are aimed at everyone - and there are more and more of them: ◆ who love beautiful things and are sensitive to places and smells ◆ who can no longer stand artificial, ultra-synthetic, aggressive, tenacious, heady perfumes that saturate the air and the head ◆ who are looking for creations that cannot be found everywhere ◆ who are concerned about quality and prefer to buy less but better.

You choose quality, naturalness, expertise, and French manufacturing. Unique olfactory creations. Respectful formulas without unnecessary ingredients.

These are not classic home fragrances, nor air fresheners nor basic essential oil blends that you can make at home. They are: ◆ Real olfactory creations signed by a master perfumer in the tradition of high natural perfumery - Not simple perfumed bases that are often basic - and very inexpensive. ◆ Formulas that are more than 99% natural ◆ Fragrances designed to both enhance and purify the air, neutralize unpleasant odors and provide a feeling of relaxation and immediate energy.

Finally, you will recognize them by their amber apothecary bottle with a design that is both sober and elegant, stamped with the keyhole, the brand's emblem.

A natural perfume is a perfume with an extra soul, a "living" perfume that is never inert and full of sensory richness. With our perfumes you choose: ◆ perfumes with rich and complex nuances, which diffuse in the air in volume and in an aerial way like in a garden ◆ perfumes composed of ingredients recognized for their natural virtues both in the air and on emotional well-being. The natural essence of lavender is both extraordinary for purifying the air and soothing the mind for example. ◆ a composition more respectful of your health and the environment.

It is a perfume whose concentrate is composed entirely or in its very great majority of ingredients of natural origin. The creation of a natural perfume requires a great deal of mastery and know-how that only a few master perfumers master with art. Please note: since alcohol is included, some brands claim the naturalness of their perfumes (at 85 or 95% in general) thanks to the presence of vegetable alcohol.... In a truly natural perfume you will not find, for example, synthetic musks, synthetic fixing agents, sunscreens. At Domaine Singulier, our perfumes are more than 99% natural.

At Domaine Singulier, naturalness does not stop at the presence of vegetable alcohol. Because too many brands claim the naturalness of their perfumes by the simple presence of vegetable alcohol when all the rest of the formula is of synthetic origin....And it is not because the perfume is made in Grasse that it is natural and of high quality... Clearly, a perfume that claims to be 80 or 95% natural is often only thanks to the presence of vegetable alcohol. Our perfumes are more than 99% natural because our concentrate is natural as is the alcohol base. The important thing is to know this in order to be able to choose with full knowledge of the facts. Find out about the % of naturalness and compositions of the formulas. And if there is no information on the composition, especially move on.

Read our descriptions carefully. If you generally like very sweet, slightly fruity, gourmand fragrances, we recommend Eau Belles Toilettes with green almond, Bulgarian rose, and cedar. If you like fragrances that evoke the south, Provence, we recommend Eau Belles Toilettes with bergamot, jasmine, and violet leaves. Finally, if you prefer deeper, oriental, and botanical fragrances, we recommend the fragrance of Elixir Bien Elevé. Perfumer Eléonore de Staël also wanted the fragrances to blend in the air. If you're unsure, don't hesitate to contact us so we can guide you!

The Elixir Bien Élevé is a sophisticated and targeted gesture due to the use of the pipette. The fragrance diffuses gradually, gently and discreetly. You will place drops using the pipette on the rim of the toilet bowl, on the sink, the hand basin, on a small diffuser and why not a few drops in the vacuum cleaner bag. Eau Belles Toilettes comes in a spray bottle and allows for volume dispersion. The gesture is faster, the result more immediate. You will spray in the air of the toilet, the bathroom but also with pleasure in a bedroom, an entrance, an office, sheets or curtains (our perfumes do not stain). Read the precautions for use carefully.

There are a multitude of products available, and they all vary greatly in price. It's important to compare like with like... Cashmere costs more than wool or polyester...

Yes, our perfumes are more expensive than lower-end perfumes, often simple blends of essential oils or synthetic ingredients.

A 100ml bottle lasts much longer than a 30ml or 50ml bottle.

With Domaine Singulier, you're choosing high-end natural perfumery, exclusive and complex creations signed by master perfumers, handcrafted in small batches. Bottles that you'll enjoy showing off and displaying.

The head of the match when igniting releases smoke (which is no longer sulfur, forbidden) whose strong smell will briefly and abruptly mask other odors. Admit that it is not the most practical, the most pleasant, the safest, the most glamorous and the most discreet gesture in the world ... If you are still a fan of the gesture: remember to choose your matches carefully because the vast majority are not necessarily of high quality and contain glue, dyes, paraffin wax which when burning diffuse into the air. And above all, remember to extinguish it well without throwing it down the toilet bowl...

Like all natural or conventional perfumes, our creations may contain certain allergens naturally present in essential oils (linalool or limonene for example) and in nature. Their presence is indicated on the composition and allows sensitized people to identify them (as with nuts in food). Read our compositions carefully and ask your allergist for advice if you have any doubts.

Yes. Our fragrances neutralize—they don't mask—bathroom odors, as well as damp, musty, tobacco, and pet odors. You'll often want to use them just to enhance the space and envelop yourself in a feeling of well-being.

Our fragrances last on average 1 to 2 hours in a small room. A spray fragrance is not intended to last very long. Furthermore, natural ingredients are inherently more volatile: they offer airy olfactory sensations similar to those in a garden or forest.

A very persistent spray perfume in the air is usually an ultra-synthetic perfume, composed of synthetic mucus and fixatives.

If you are looking for a fragrance that lasts continuously, choose a reed diffuser.

Yes, our perfumes contain essential oils (or essences), but in perfectly controlled dosages and of very high quality and purity. It is also completely unnecessary and contraindicated to multiply the number of essential oils in a perfume: it's all a question of dosage and balance! Our perfumes also contain resins, absolutes, and alcoholates to offer you unique scented creations that are natural, effective, refined, and more respectful of your health and the environment. This is all the artistic work of the master perfumer.

We could obtain an organic label for our fragrance rituals because our formulas meet the specifications for obtaining an organic label. But we prefer to focus on other priorities for the moment.

Yes. Our fragrances are unisex. We have a mixed clientele and many devoted male fans.

You can absolutely use our fragrances to neutralize odors in a room related to your pets (cats or dogs). For example, the litter box.

Our fragrances are natural and contain extremely controlled doses of essential oils, so your dog or cat should not be bothered and will even feel like they are in the grass or a garden.

Be careful not to spray directly above him, however, as this may not be pleasant for him.

The restroom is one of the most visited places in the house, by you and your guests. We pass through it on average 4 to 7 times a day... With Domaine Singulier, the restroom becomes a haven of sensory well-being for ourselves and those around us. Goodbye to ultra-chemical spray odors, goodbye to the stress of having to endure odors that bother us and leave an unglamorous trail behind us. Only the pleasure of a delicate, refined fragrance that relaxes and clears the mind. Is it a luxury? Perhaps, but an affordable luxury and far from useless.

Denatured alcohol is alcohol containing a bitter substance, making the perfume undrinkable, as required by European regulations. At Domaine Singulier, we chose an organic French wheat alcohol denatured with Bitrex (the world's most bitter ingredient) and certified by Ecocert. A base that is phthalate-free and free of irritating glycols.

It would be misleading to claim that our fragrances are 100% "safe." Even a walk in a garden—with the presence of pollen and insects—is not completely safe! Our natural formulas are masterfully controlled and designed to be as respectful as possible of humans and the environment. This does not, however, exclude precautions for use.
Always take the time to carefully read the compositions and instructions for use, as with any perfume product. Our creations contain, for example, Linalool, a molecule naturally present in lavender and to which some people may be sensitive. Our perfumes contain alcohol, so it is advisable not to store them near a heat source or leave them within reach of children. You will find the list of ingredients and precautions for use on the labels of our products and on each product sheet online. Please do not hesitate to contact us for any questions, of course.

You can spray them in a room to enhance and purify the space, creating a moment conducive to well-being, before the arrival of guests for example. However, remember to air the room regularly, ideally in the morning and in the evening before bedtime and for at least 10 minutes, an essential hygiene and health gesture.

Our perfumes can be stored and used for more than three years provided the cap is tightly closed and stored in a temperate environment. We have chosen amber bottles that protect the formulas from light and oxidation and thus preserve all their quality over time without the need for adding sunscreen, preservatives or antioxidants. In addition, like a wine or a spirit, perfumes composed of natural ingredients and plant alcohol evolve over time, improve, acquire a patina and reveal themselves differently.

Both allow for cold diffusion—without heating the ingredients. The vaporizer (without aerosol) offers immediate diffusion and a conscious olfactory experience: you choose the time, the place, and your mood. With a stick diffuser, the fragrance diffuses continuously, whether you're present or not, and offers a passive olfactory experience. It's also a question of taste, sensitivity, place, and time. Of course, it's essential to be vigilant about the composition and manufacturing origin.

In both cases, the principle of the fragrance burner is to heat the ingredients - pure essential oils or synthetic perfumes - to diffuse them into the air. Unlike vaporizers and stick diffusers, which are cold, this heating can alter the ingredients and release unwanted or even toxic particles. Finally, there is a huge variety of diffusers, generally made of plastic - plastic can also release toxic substances when heated - and little transparency on the materials and composition of the perfumes. If you are a fan of this type of diffusion, take the time to choose the container and ingredients carefully.

Incense is one of the ancient and sacred uses in Asia: it accompanies deep meditation and prayer. Its initial role is therefore not to perfume the air or neutralize odors but to elevate the spirit. Unlike perfumes in sprays or sticks - which are diffused cold - incense must burn to release its aromas. This process also releases particularly harmful chemical particles. Two precautions are essential: - burn incense in large, open and very ventilated spaces as is the case in temples and churches - choose a very high-quality incense, checking its origin, its manufacture and its composition. Too much incense is now cut with synthetic powders and perfumes when very high-quality incense - now rare - is made from natural raw materials (pure resins, wood, spices, aromatic herbs).
