FAQ

There are several reasons why your promo code

may not be working. The promo code may have

been associated with a limited time offer that

has expired or could simply have been entered

incorrectly. Please note that only one promo code

may be applied per order and that use of a promo

code denotes knowledge and acceptance of

related terms and conditions. If your promo

code is still not working, please contact our

customer service team, and we will be happy

to assist you.

The higher the concentration of fragrance oils, the 

longer the scent will last on the skin, and the more

 intense the fragrance will be.

Here are the different perfume concentrations, 

listed in order of highest to lowest concentration

 of fragrance oils. Please note that we only carry 

the top 2 concentrations available, Extrait de Parfum

 and Eau de Parfum.

Extrait de Parfum: The highest concentration, 

typically 30-40% fragrance oils. This is the most 

expensive and long-lasting option.
Eau de Parfum: Concentration of 15-20% fragrance

 oils. A popular choice, offering good longevity and

 intensity.
Eau de Toilette: Concentration of 5-15% fragrance 

oils. Lighter and fresher than EdP, often used for

 daytime wear.
Eau de Cologne: Concentration of 2-4% fragrance

 oils. Very light and refreshing, often used as a splash

 or body spray.
Eau Fraiche: The lowest concentration, typically 1-3%

 fragrance oils. Very diluted and offers a subtle scent, 

often containing more water or alcohol.

Oil-based fragrances wear closer to the skin than

alcohol-based fragrances. Alcohol-based fragrances

are stronger and offer a larger projection radius. If you

prefer a stronger, more powerful fragrance that can fill

a room and be noticed by those around you, you may

prefer alcohol-based fragrances; if you prefer a more

subtle, personal fragrance, perfume oils may be your

best choice.

While formulas are identical across formats, subtle

scent variations may occur. Fragrances may smell

slightly different in different formats -- for example,

in some cases, top notes may be more diffusive

(and stronger) in parfum spray format than in

perfume oil format.

At Glam Fumes, we create handcrafted, small-batch fine

perfumes that blend luxury with skin safety. Our formulations

incorporate a mix of:

Natural Ingredients: We use high-quality absolutes

and essential oils to capture the essence of nature.

Synthetic Ingredients: Carefully selected to enhance

affordability, sustainability, and prolonged scent profiles,

our synthetics allow for unique olfactory experiences not

achievable with natural substances alone.

We source our natural materials from esteemed suppliers in

the perfumery industry who excel in and possess extensive

expertise in acquiring the highest quality natural ingredients.

Many of these suppliers are small businesses that maintain close

relationships with producers and have a deep understanding of

the origins of their materials.

While many fragrances incorporate the use of some natural

ingredients, there are many more synthetic materials available

on a perfumer’s palette, allowing the perfumer more creative

freedom to develop a unique and memorable scent. Synthetic

fragrances are much stronger, longer lasting, and more complex

than all-natural fragrances, as well as being just as safe to use.

Synthetic fragrances are also easier to manufacture as their

components are much more consistent when produced, whereas

natural ingredients can produce unpredictable results, just as

anything in nature would.

We are committed to cruelty-free practices and do not

test our products on animals.

Also, our cruelty-free and vegan perfumes are

comprised of naturally derived and safe synthetic ingredients.

We strategically blend botanical-based and lab-made ingredients

to ensure our perfumes are safe and hypoallergenic.

Fragrance accords represent a realm of creativity for

perfumers, as they artfully blend three or four scent

notes to forge a cohesive and unique aroma. For instance,

an "ocean waves" accord might combine various aquatic

and salty elements to evoke the feeling of a day by the shore.

Letting perfume age or macerate for a few days before

use can significantly enhance their fragrance profile.

Just like a fine wine, many perfumes benefit from a brief

period of rest after being blended. This maturation allows

the various notes—top, middle, and base—to harmonize,

creating a more balanced and cohesive scent. When a perfume

is freshly mixed, the volatile compounds can sometimes overshadow

the deeper, richer undertones. By allowing it to sit undisturbed, the

fragrance can evolve, shedding any sharp initial edges and allowing

the softer notes to emerge, resulting in a more refined olfactory

experience. Whether for personal use or to allow a creation to reach

its full potential, this simple act of patience can transform a beautiful

scent into something truly captivating.

Additionally, due to the presence of vanilla, the perfume may develop

a darker color over time. However, this does NOT affect the performance

of the perfume.

The base that you choose can subtly alter the scent.

Oil bases enhance the deeper base notes and age

gracefully, while alcohol highlights the lighter, fresher

top notes and spices.

Oil-based fragrances wear closer to the skin than alcohol-based

fragrances. Alcohol-based fragrances are stronger and offer a

larger projection radius. If you prefer a stronger, more powerful

fragrance that can fill a room and be noticed by those around you,

you may prefer alcohol-based fragrances. If you prefer a more

subtle, personal fragrance, perfume oils may be your best choice.

While formulas are identical across formats, subtle scent variations

may occur. Fragrances may smell slightly different in different formats –

for example, in some cases, top notes may be more diffusive (and stronger)

in parfum spray format than in perfume oil format.

Oil-based fragrances provide a subtle, personal scent. Applied to pulse

points, they create a soft "halo" of fragrance close to the skin. Choose

oil-based fragrances if you prefer a subtle, intimate fragrance experience.

Alcohol-based fragrances offer a stronger, more noticeable projection.

They are designed for wider scent dispersal. Choose alcohol-based

fragrances if you prefer a stronger, room-filling scent.

Body chemistry, skin type, diet, and even the

weather can affect how a fragrance develops

on your skin.

Often, the essence of a fragrance is more about the person

than the perfume itself. Over time, our tastes and preferences

naturally evolve, and after wearing the same scent for a while,

you may find yourself growing weary of it without realizing.

Changes in your diet or lifestyle can also alter your body chemistry,

influencing how a fragrance interacts with your skin, and as we age,

various factors will affect its scent profile—sometimes positively,

sometimes negatively. However, there are occasions when it truly is

the perfume at fault. If a fragrance smells markedly different from

how you initially remembered, it might have surpassed its ideal shelf

life of three to five years.

Yes. Hair is excellent for carrying fragrance.

Our 4 oz. Eau de Parfum spray is perfect to use

as hair perfume, as it has no alcohol in the formula.

To ensure your perfume lasts all day, follow these tips:

Cleanse Your Skin: Start with a shower oil or body wash

that complements the notes in the parfum that you are wearing.

Hydrate Your Skin and Layer Your Scent: After showering,

use a body cream or body oil in the same scent or a scent having

similar notes as your perfume. Be sure to apply moisturizer or

body oil before applying fragrance. Perfume adheres best to

hydrated skin.

Target Pulse Points: Apply fragrance to skin and clothing.

Touch-Ups on the Go: During the course of the day, it is

natural for fragrance to fade. Carry a travel-sized bottle for

easy fragrance touch-ups throughout the day.

Yes, layering fragrances can create unique combinations. 

Do not apply fragrance on genitals, open wounds or

sensitive areas and be sure to keep it away from your

eyes and mouth.

Spraying perfume into the air and then walking into a

“perfume cloud” will certainly impart some scent, but

it greatly reduces the amount of product that ends up

on your skin, making it less impactful. Your best bet is

to apply fragrance directly onto your skin. If you want a

little extra aura, add a bit to your hair.

Glam Fumes is a 100% cruelty-free brand, and as

such, does not conduct animal testing of any kind.

We prioritize your health and the environment.

All our fragrances adhere to IFRA guidelines,

ensuring they are safe for your skin.

To maximize the lifespan of your fragrances, store them

in a cool, dark place, away from sunlight and extreme

heat. Perfume oils can last approximately 3-5 years

(or longer) before natural scent components may begin

to fade. However, we suggest that you use your fragrance

within 1 year. Light, heat, and variations in temperature

and exposure to oxygen can cause a fragrance to deteriorate

over time.

Generally, perfumes improve with age, regardless of their

format.

This discoloration over time is typical for perfumes

that include clean and natural ingredients. It will not

affect the fragrance in any way.

Whether you register as our customer or place an
