These days, choosing a scent is more than a trip to the mall and picking up a fragrance you heard about from your colleague at work or saw on TV. It is a reflective exercise in defining who you are now, your motivations, desires, preferences.

As an artisanal perfumery house, we believe that your fragrance should be more than just a scent that “smells good”. Your fragrance is part of your identity, of who you are and who you want to be seen as. This is why finding your signature scent is a deeply personal journey of self-discovery.

First, start by exploring your personality and scent preferences. How do you know if a fresh, relaxing fragrance, like our aquatic perfume Peaceful Ocean with its "clean", elegant scent is right for you? You appreciate art in all its forms. Our floral composition Rapsodie D'Été with its exuberant accords seems right for you. How do you decide without trying it? If you want to project an attractive, mysterious, bold persona, the ambery-woody, sensual Espíritu Flamenco with its deep, rich aroma can do that for you. How do you navigate through these choices?

We have learned that our biology, diet, time of the day, occasions, seasons, climate, perfume’s characteristics matter when we choose our fragrances. Nowadays, choosing our perfume includes all the above and more. More is about revealing your actual olfactive profile based on your personality and scent preferences. How do we do this?

Let’s recap here shortly 2 of the perfume’s features that influence our choices: fragrance concentration and sillage (trail).

Eau de Toilette (EDT) (5-15% “juice” concentration). These fragrances are designed for immediate recognition, due to higher proportion in top notes like citrus and light florals.

Eau de Parfum (EDP) (15-20% “juice” concentration). This is the gold standard for artisanal perfumery. EDPs have a higher heart-to-base note ratio, and evolve quietly on the skin over 6 to 8 hours. Olyantis’s perfumes are EDTs and have 15% concentration.

Extrait de Parfum (20%-40% "juice" concentration). As these fragrances have less alcohol that the other two categories, they “project" less across a room than EDT and EDP.

Sillage (Trail). Some perfumes stay closer to the skin, other have higher diffusion and sillage. Your choice depends on whether you want a subtle or prominent presence.

To navigate the multiple choices in perfume’s selection, we use our AI-customized scent personality quiz. In 2 minutes, your free olfactive portrait is deciphered and presented to you. You can try it here.
