How long does your perfume last?

Our fragrances are formulated with high-concentration perfume oils and typically last 7 to 8 hours on skin, with base notes often lingering on fabric and clothing for even longer. Longevity may vary slightly depending on your skin type and body chemistry.

How is the projection of your perfumes?

Our perfumes offer moderate to strong projection in the first 2 to 3 hours, meaning people around you will comfortably notice your scent without it being overwhelming. After the initial hours, the fragrance settles closer to the skin for a more intimate dry-down.

What is the sillage like?

Our fragrances leave a pleasant and noticeable trail as you move. For best sillage results, we recommend applying to pulse points such as your wrists, neck, and collar. Fabric application particularly enhances the lasting trail throughout the day.

Are your perfume oils synthetic?

Our perfume oils are 100% natural; we do not add any synthetic chemicals or artificial aroma compounds to our oil formulations. What you get in every bottle is a pure, natural fragrance oil crafted the traditional way, sitting directly on your skin and developing its true character with your body's natural warmth throughout the day.

Are your perfumes acceptable for Namaz?

The alcohol used in our Eau de Parfum sprays is a cosmetic-grade chemical alcohol; it is not the same as intoxicating alcohol found in drinks and is used purely as a fragrance carrier, which is standard practice across the global perfume industry. However, as Islamic scholars differ on this matter, we respect that the final decision rests with your personal religious guidance. For those who prefer to stay completely on the safe side, our Attar Oils are 100% alcohol-free (https://perfume-parlour.pk/collections/premium-attars) and are a perfect alternative for use during prayer.

Do your perfumes contain alcohol?

Our Eau de Parfum (EDP) sprays do contain alcohol as a carrier, which is standard across the global perfume industry. Our Attar Oils and Perfume Oils (https://perfume-parlour.pk/collections/premium-attars) are completely alcohol-free and are available for customers who prefer non-alcoholic options.

Which smells better, attar oil or perfume spray?

Both have their own unique character. Attar oils sit close to the skin, warm with your body heat, and develop a deeply personal scent that evolves throughout the day; they are intimate, rich, and long-lasting. Perfume sprays project more boldly, spread wider, and are ideal for social settings and occasions. The better choice simply depends on your personal preference and lifestyle.

What is the difference between EDP, EDT, Extrait, and Parfum?

EDT (Eau de Toilette) contains around 8 to 12% fragrance oil concentration and is lighter and fresher, ideal for daytime wear. EDP (Eau de Parfum) contains a 15 to 20% concentration, offering stronger projection and longer longevity. Extrait de Parfum contains 20 to 30% concentration and is the most intense, long-lasting, and closest to pure perfume. Parfum (Pure Perfume) sits at the highest concentration of 30% and above, designed for minimal application with maximum impact.

What is your oil concentration?

Our fragrances are formulated at a 28% oil concentration, placing them firmly in the Eau de Parfum to Extrait range. This higher concentration is what gives our perfumes their signature longevity and projection compared to standard market alternatives.

Do you offer Cash on Delivery (COD)?

Are you selling real, authentic products?

Absolutely. Every fragrance we sell is an authentic Perfume Parlour creation, originally crafted in the UK since 2004. We do not sell counterfeit or fake branded products. Our fragrances are independently formulated, designer-inspired compositions made with high-quality ingredients, and are exactly what they are described to be on our website.

How close are your products to the originals?

Our inspired fragrances are crafted to closely capture the scent profile, character, and feel of the original designer fragrances they are inspired by. While no inspired fragrance can claim to be 100% identical, as original houses use exclusive raw materials and proprietary formulas, our customers consistently describe our inspirations as remarkably close, making them a highly satisfying alternative for daily wear.

What is your return and exchange policy?

We offer a 30-day return and exchange policy on all orders. If you receive a damaged, defective, or incorrect item, please contact us within 30 days of delivery with your order details, and we will resolve it promptly. Please note that returns are accepted only for damaged or incorrect items. We are unable to accept returns due to personal fragrance preference, as scent is a subjective experience.

Can I blind buy your perfume?

Yes, and many of our customers do! To help you shop with confidence, we provide detailed scent descriptions, note breakdowns, and the designer inspiration for each fragrance on our product pages. We also recommend checking customer reviews before purchasing. If you are still unsure, consider ordering a sample set (https://perfume-parlour.pk/products/5ml-x5-premium-sample-box) to test before committing to a full bottle.

Can your perfumes cause allergies or skin rashes?

Our fragrances are formulated to international cosmetic safety standards. However, as with any fragrance product, individual skin sensitivities can vary. If you have a known fragrance allergy or sensitive skin, we recommend doing a patch test on a small area of skin before full application. If irritation occurs, discontinue use immediately. Our alcohol-free attar oils are generally gentler on sensitive skin compared to spray formulations.
