Sampling, Storage, and Safety Tips

Smell only up to 5 samples at a time. You may want to inhale fresh coffee beans between sampling the fragrances, to refresh your olfactory sensitivity.

Keep in mind that the initial impression will fade quickly as the perfume interacts with your skin.

You can apply a drop of perfume on a scent stripe, and note the different dry out stages, and compare the different scents. However, this will not tell you how the perfume will smell on your skin, just how it smells on paper.

Your wrist should not be previously scented. Let the scent develop on your skin for several hours. This way you will experience the dry out phase, and learn how the perfume interacts with your own personal body chemistry.

This way you will experience the fragrance better.

To open your perfume for the first time, gently twist the stopper counter-clockwise and pul it upwards.

When traveling, or if you like to carry your flacon with you in your purse, be sure to close the topper properly, by applying pressure downwards when closing the stopper, and than twisting slightly clockwise. Doing so will ensure that the flacon is properly sealed, and that no perfume will spill out or evaporate.

We also recommend you store your perfume either in its original box when traveling, or inside a little cushioned pouch.

At home, your perfume should be stored in a dark, cool and dry area - away from heat, light and moisture. The ideal place would be inside a drawer or a closet.

The worst places in the house to store your perfumes would be the bathroom (steam and heat) and the kitchen (heat, steam and light). If your room is relatively dark, and you use up your fragrance ratehr fast, you may be able to get away with displaying the flacon on your dresser...

a. Avoid contact with eyes.

b. Keep out of the reach of children and pets.

c. Do not swallow or take perfume internally!

d. Wear perfume by applying the fragrance onto pulse points behind ears and on wrists. If any sign of irritation occurs, stop use immediately.

e. Avoid wearing on areas that are exposed to the sun. Most of the citrus essetial oils present in almost all perfumes can become phototoxic (cause a rash or burning when the skin covered with this oil is exposed to the sun).

f. Keep samples away from heat and sunlight.

g. If you develop any allergic reactions, stop using the product immediately.

(i.e. on your pulse points). These perfumes are highly concentrated and were not formulated to be worn on large areas of your skin or to be added to skin care products.

If you know of any allergies you may have, please read the note list carefully for each perfume and make sure what you are allergic to is not in the perfume. For example: if you are allergic to wheat, do not use our Sahleb, Immortelle l'Amour or Purple Dress perfumes as they all contain wheat absolute. If you are allergic to chocolate, avoid our Roses et Chocolat, Guilt or Film Noir perfumes - the cacao absolute in these perfumes come from real cocoa beans and therefore may cause an allergic reaction if you are allergic to chocolate.

If you are unsure about an ingredient, or want to make sure that you do not get an allergic reaction to a perfume - contact Ayala Moriel and we will be happy to clarify any uncertainties.

If you have allergic tendencies, please wear your perfumes with caution and test it on a small area of the skin first to make sure that the perfume is safe for regular use.
