QUESTION ABOUT PERFUMES
OUR FRAGRANT RITUALS
Toutes nos créations sont des créations exclusives Domaine Singulier. Ce sont des formules (choix des ingrédients, choix des associations) qui ont été spécialement créées pour Domaine Singulier que vous ne retrouverez nulle part ailleurs.
Our home fragrances are for everyone - an ever-growing number of people: ◆ who love beautiful things and are sensitive to places and smells ◆ who can no longer stand artificial, ultra-synthetic, aggressive, tenacious, overpowering 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 neither air fresheners nor simple mixtures of essential oils that one could create on one's own.
◆ Truly olfactory creations
Each fragrance is conceived and composed by a master perfumer, in the tradition of fine natural perfumery. We do not work with generic and inexpensive fragrance bases, but with genuine compositions, designed as signature scents in their own right.
◆ Formulas with over 99% natural origin
Our home fragrances are made from carefully selected natural ingredients
◆ Fragrances designed to enhance the air and everyday life
The compositions are designed to enhance the atmosphere, naturally neutralize unpleasant odors and provide an immediate feeling of relaxation or energy, depending on the chosen ritual.
Finally, you'll recognize them by their amber apothecary bottle , with its understated yet elegant design, adorned with the keyhole – the brand's emblem.
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.
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!
Yes. Our fragrances neutralize—they don't mask—odors associated with restrooms, as well as smells of dampness, mustiness, tobacco, and pets. You'll often find yourself wanting to use them simply to enhance the space and the moment, enveloping 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 fragrances are unisex. We have a mixed clientele and many devoted male fans.
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.
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.
NATURALNESS & INGREDIENTS
A natural fragrance is a fragrance with added soul, a "living" fragrance, never inert, and full of sensory richness. With our fragrances, you choose: ◆ fragrances with rich and complex nuances, which diffuse into the air with volume and an airy quality, like in a garden; ◆ fragrances composed of ingredients known for their natural benefits, both in the air and for emotional well-being. Natural lavender essence, for example, is known to purify the air and soothe the mind; ◆ a composition that is more respectful of your health and the environment, without ingredients (musk and synthetic solvents) suspected of being endocrine disruptors.
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.
Read the label carefully. If you see "plant-based alcohol" or a biodegradable ingredient, it doesn't necessarily mean the perfume is natural. A truly natural perfume will explicitly state this and indicate its percentage of natural ingredients. This percentage should be as high as possible to be genuinely natural and free of sunscreens and synthetic fixatives. If you find no information about the ingredients, that's already a red flag.
We could obtain organic certification for our fragrance rituals because our formulas do indeed meet the specifications required for organic certification. However, obtaining and using the certification requires a specific procedure and financial commitment. We prefer to focus on other priorities for the time being.
En parfumerie / cosmétique :
🔹 Un ingrédient naturel est issu directement d’une matière première naturelle (plante, fleur, fruit, feuille, résine…). Il est obtenu par des procédés comme la distillation, l’extraction ou la pression, sans transformation chimique majeure de la molécule.
🔹 Un ingrédient d’origine naturelle provient lui aussi de matières premières naturelles, mais a été transformé chimiquement. C’est le cas, par exemple, de certaines molécules issues d’acides gras végétaux ou par exemple de la coumarine obtenue à partir de la fève tonka.
🔹 Un ingrédient synthétique ne provient pas directement d’une matière première naturelle. Il est fabriqué par synthèse chimique à partir de matières premières de base (souvent issues de la pétrochimie, parfois, très rarement, de ressources végétales transformées). Il permet de reproduire une odeur, de conserver, stabiliser, colorer ou texturiser une formule. Certaines de ces molécules imitent des odeurs que l’on retrouve dans la nature, mais sont produites en laboratoire. On peut citer la vanilline synthétique très répandue aussi dans l'alimentaire.
Un ingrédient synthétique est reproductible de façon très constante, quasiment à l’identique d’un lot à l’autre. À l’inverse, un ingrédient naturel ou d’origine naturelle est moins linéaire et plus complexe : sa composition dépend de la terre, de l’ensoleillement, de la pluie, du moment de la récolte… C’est aussi ce qui fait toute sa richesse, sa complexité et sa singularité. C'est pour cela qu'on les aime chez Domaine Singulier.
So-called natural perfumes are composed primarily of raw materials derived from plants: essential oils, absolutes, resins, extracts… The base, whether alcohol or another type, is natural. The perfume concentrate is also natural.
Synthetic perfumes use, in whole or in part, molecules created in the laboratory. Some reproduce identically molecules found in nature (such as synthetically produced coumarin), while others make it possible to create scents that do not exist as such in the plant world.
Chemically, the same molecule (for example, coumarin) can therefore exist in a naturally occurring or synthetic form: what changes is its origin. The sensations and benefits will also differ.
At Domaine Singulier, we choose home fragrances that are more than 99% natural in origin , truly exclusive creations designed by a master perfumer exclusively for Domaine Singulier.
L’alcool utilisé dans un parfum n’est pas, en lui-même, considéré comme toxique dans des conditions normales d’usage.Il possède des propriétés remarquables : il conserve les ingrédients aromatiques, les met en solution et favorise leur bonne diffusion dans l’air.
Chez Domaine Singulier, nous avons choisi un alcool de blé biologique, certifié Ecocert, conforme aux réglementations européennes en vigueur.
Comme pour tout produit contenant de l’alcool, quelques précautions essentielles s’imposent : ne pas vaporiser vers les yeux ou sur les muqueuses, ne pas utiliser à proximité d’une flamme ou d’une source de chaleur, et aérer régulièrement votre intérieur.
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.
ABOUT ALLERGENS & PRECAUTIONS
Non, nos parfums ne sont pas formulés avec des ingrédients identifiés ou suspectés d’agir comme des perturbateurs endocriniens.
Par conviction personnelle, nous avons choisi d’aller au-delà des exigences réglementaires en excluant certains ingrédients de nos formules. Ainsi, nos parfums ne contiennent :
✅ aucun phtalate utilisé comme fixateur ou colorant (certaines formes sont suspectées d’être perturbateurs endocriniens),
✅ aucun parabène, ni antioxydant polémique de type BHA/BHT,
✅ aucun filtre UV controversé, que nous jugeons inutile dans un parfum d’intérieur, d’autant que le flacon opaque protège déjà la formule de la lumière.
Enfin, nous privilégions les ingrédients naturels et d'origine naturelle et, dès que possible, issus de l’agriculture biologique, tout en respectant strictement la réglementation européenne.
Like all natural or conventional perfumes, our creations may contain certain allergens naturally present in essential oils and in nature. Their presence is always indicated in the ingredients list, allowing for easy identification (similar to nuts in food).
Here is a list of potentially allergenic natural molecules that you may find in some of our scented rituals and soaps. These are the same molecules you might encounter while walking in a garden, meadow, or forest, smelling a bouquet of flowers, or peeling a citrus fruit. These molecules contribute to giving our fragrances their character and sometimes unique properties.
Linalool, which is naturally present in lavandin, true lavender, rosewood, coriander, basil, and certain citrus fruits.
Citral, which is naturally present in lemon verbena, lemongrass, lemon grass, lemon peel and lime
Limonene - which is naturally present in orange peel, lemon peel, mandarin, grapefruit, but also in resins and conifer needles.
Geraniol - which is naturally present in rose, rose geranium, palmarosa, lemongrass, chamomile.
Linalyl acetate, which is naturally present in lavender, lavandin, bergamot, and clary sage.
We encourage you to carefully read the ingredients list of our products and, if you have a known allergy or any doubt, to consult your doctor or allergist. We also recommend that you always ventilate your home regularly by opening windows to refresh the air. This is an essential hygiene and health rule.
Les parfums d’intérieur sont encadrés par une réglementation spécifique (étiquetage, mentions de sécurité, allergènes, etc.). Cela ne veut pas dire qu’ils sont “sans aucun impact”, mais qu’ils doivent respecter des règles précises pour éviter certains risques connus, notamment d'allergies.
De notre côté, nous avons fait des choix stricts :
nous avons banni certains ingrédients controversés suspectés d'être perturbateurs endocriniens (phtalates comme fixateurs, parabènes, BHA/BHT, filtres UV inutiles dans un parfum d’intérieur),
nous privilégions une composition majoritairement naturelle ou d’origine naturelle, et une vaporisation à froid
Pour autant, il serait erroné de dire d'un parfum d’intérieur, quel qu’il soit, qu'il est "100 %" sans risque. Nous vous recommandons de les utiliser, en prenant soin de lire avant la liste des sensibilisants, les précautions d'emploi et de toujours penser à aérer régulièrement l'air dans votre habitat en ouvrant les fenêtres. Une mesure d'hygiène et de santé essentielle avec ou sans parfum d'intérieur.
PRÉCAUTIONS D'EMPLOI
Here are the precautions for use
– Keep out of reach of children.
– Like any perfume containing alcohol, this is a highly flammable liquid: keep the bottle away from heat, flames, sparks and direct sunlight.
– Avoid all contact with eyes. In case of contact, rinse immediately and thoroughly with clean water.
Read the ingredients carefully, especially the list of potential allergens.
If you have any doubts related to your personal situation (allergic predisposition, respiratory pathology, pregnancy, etc.), seek advice from your doctor and/or allergist.
Nos parfums sont conçus comme des parfums d’intérieur. Ils respectent la réglementation applicable à cette catégorie de produits. Ils n’ont pas été en spécifiquement testés pour une utilisation spécifique pendant la grossesse et avec des nourrissons.
Par mesure de précaution, nous recommandons :
d’utiliser les parfums avec mesure pendant la grossesse,
d' aérer régulièrement la pièce
de ne pas parfumer directement dans la chambre d’un bébé
La grossesse est d'autre part un moment où votre odorat peut se modifier, où vous pourrez aimer ou détester certaines odeurs.
En cas de doute, nous vous invitons à demander l’avis de votre professionnel de santé, qui pourra vous conseiller selon votre situation personnelle.
USAGE & PRACTICAL TIPS
You can spray them in a bedroom to enhance and purify the space, creating a moment conducive to well-being, for example, before the arrival of guests. However, remember to air the room regularly, ideally in the morning and evening, and at least 10 minutes before bedtime—an essential hygiene and health practice.
Si nos parfums ne présentent pas de contre-indications particulières, ce sont avant tout des parfums d’intérieur, qui n’ont pas été spécifiquement formulés pour les animaux.
Vous pouvez les utiliser dans une pièce où se trouvent vos animaux, en veillant simplement à :
éviter de vaporiser le parfum lorsqu’ils se trouvent juste en dessous du nuage de parfum, ce qui pourrait leur déplaire,
ne pulvériser jamais directement sur l’animal
À ce jour, nous n’avons eu aucune remontée de la part de nos client(e)s ayant des chiens ou des chats.
En cas de doute, n’hésitez pas à demander conseil à votre vétérinaire, qui reste le plus à même de vous orienter.
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.
When the match head ignites, it releases a strong-smelling smoke that very briefly masks other odors. It's no longer pure sulfur as it once was (now prohibited), but the principle remains the same: a pungent odor that overpowers everything else.
Admit it, it's not the most practical, pleasant, safe, glamorous, or discreet gesture in the world…
If you are still a fan of this method, choose your matches carefully: most are not of high quality and contain glue, dyes or paraffin wax which, when burning, diffuse into the air.
And most importantly, remember to turn them off completely and don't throw them in the toilet bowl. :)
Non, et ce serait mensonger de vous le faire croire. La création des concentrés de parfum, la fabrication des formules finies ainsi que l’impression de nos packagings ont lieu en France, auprès d'artisans et de fabricants reconnus pour leur savoir-faire. Nos éditions photographiques et nos objets sont fabriqués également en France.
En revanche : nos flacons en verre proviennent d’Europe, les ingrédients utilisés dans nos parfums et nos savons viennent de France, d’Europe et aussi d’autres continents, selon l’endroit où les plantes poussent naturellement le mieux. Certains des papiers que nous utilisons proviennent de France ou d'Italie.
A notre connaissance, il n'existe pas à ce jour de parfums 100 % français, des ingrédients au packaging final.
Both allow for cold diffusion – without heating the ingredients. The spray (without aerosol) offers immediate diffusion and a conscious olfactory experience: you choose the time, the place, and even your mood. With a reed diffuser, the fragrance diffuses continuously, whether you're present or not, offering a passive olfactory experience. It's a matter of taste, sensitivity, and also of location and timing. Of course, it's essential to be vigilant about the composition and origin of the product. A reed diffuser that continuously diffuses a synthetic fragrance, especially one containing sunscreens, isn't ideal...
Incense is part of ancient and sacred practices in Asia: it accompanies deep meditation and prayer. Its original role is not to perfume the air or neutralize odors, but to accompany a ritual, to elevate the spirit.
Unlike spray perfumes or reed diffusers, which diffuse their fragrance without being exposed to air, incense must burn to release its aromas. This combustion not only releases fragrant smoke, but also particles and chemical compounds that can be harmful, especially in enclosed and poorly ventilated spaces.
Two precautions are essential:
– burning incense in large, open and well-ventilated spaces, such as in temples or churches;
– choose a very good quality incense, checking its origin, its manufacture and its composition.
High-quality incense is made from carefully selected natural raw materials (pure resins, woods, spices, aromatic herbs). However, the majority of incense found on the market today is made from much less expensive synthetic fragrance ingredients, the composition of which is often opaque.
