What are head / heart / base notes?

We’re going to take you into the details here. Perfumes are designed according to an olfactory pyramid. When you spray a fragrance, the first elements you notice are the head notes. They’re normally quite fresh and sharp and only last a couple of minutes in the air. As they dissipate, you’ll begin to smell the heart notes coming through and they’ll stay with you for 1-2 hours. The scents that stay on your skin for the whole day are the base notes. They’ll become part of your daily life.

The product photos in our online shop

may renewals and rebranding of the product by the manufacturer cause changes in the appearance and the details of the product.

Warranty claims are excluded since the changes are made by the brand itself.

How long can I keep my perfume?

An eau de parfum can be kept for several years, though we recommend using it within two. It’ll smell better before it starts to age.

How long will my perfume last?

This depends on the condition in which it is stored, and whether you have started using the fragrance or not. We generally advise that you use your fragrance within 2-3 years from when you have started using the product.
If the product has not yet been sprayed, it can last a lot longer than 3 years. As soon as the product has been sprayed or opened, it allows oxygen into the bottle and the ingredients will begin to oxidize.
This is a process that will happen over time but the more oxygen is in the bottle, the quicker the oxidization will happen.

And we would advise storing the bottle in a cool dark location, away from light and heat to ensure it is not affected by changes in temperature.

How can I make my fragrance last longer?

There are methods of prolonging fragrances and these vary from person to person. Make sure your skin is well moisturized, and body oils are great for this.
During winter when the temperature is lower and we are exposed to heating, our skin is drier and does not retain the fragrance in the way well-moisturized skin does, and conversely if the weather is warm and your skin perspires the natural oils from your skin can remove the scent from your skin. Therefore spraying the fragrance on your clothing as well as your skin will help to retain the scent for a longer duration.

Eau de toilette vs eau de parfum: What’s the difference?

The difference is simply the amount or concentration of oils in the fragrance. Eau de parfum has a higher concentration than eau de toilette, making it a stronger fragrance. There is also pure perfume, which has the highest concentration, and eau de cologne, which has the lowest concentration of oils.

Are any of your perfumes tested on animals?

All of the fragrances stocked at Hallburg are produced in accordance with IFRA regulations. Some are even 100% allergen-free. None of the products we stock are tested on animals.

Do you offer samples?

Yes, every purchase on our e-shop comes with three complimentary samples.

Why do perfumes smell different on different people?

Your own body chemistry affects how different notes react on your skin. Anything that affects the “natural” smell of your skin, such as stress, hormonal changes, your current diet, or medications, might change how a perfume smells on you.

Why can’t I smell my own perfume after several minutes?

The nose becomes desensitized and quickly gets used to the notes of your perfume. You may not be able to smell it at all after 30-40 minutes, although your friends and colleagues may still be able to.

How do I choose perfume as a gift?

It’s difficult, but not impossible. If you know what that person wears, you have the choice: buy a bottle of exactly the same perfume, if you want to go for something different, but a likely ‘hit’, we suggest you contact us through email or whats app. As long as you have an idea of a perfume your friend/relation wears, our advisor can make some clever recommendations. If you don’t know at all what someone likes, we would probably recommend a gift voucher for a fragrance. Just because you like the way something smells, that doesn’t mean someone else will…

Can perfume last all day?

Perfume can last four to six hours (or even longer), depending on the ingredients – and how dry your skin is. (Perfumes dissipate much faster on dry skins.) From the moment you apply: the top notes, or ‘head’ notes last around 5-15 minutes before they disappear. The middle notes last from two to four hours, and make up most of the fragrance. The base notes usually last from four to six hours.

What is a fragrance note?

Note in perfume is an individual element – for instance, lemon, jasmine, rose, apple, sandalwood, and the many thousands of other flowers, herbs, spices, and woods that perfumers use. Together, combining the individual notes, and noses create harmonies and compositions. The language of perfumery borrows heavily from the language of music.

What is a fragrance family?

Fragrance families allow you to categorize different perfumes. In fragrance families, the perfumes are divided into groups based on the build-up of ingredients or by specific ingredients. For example: in this way you can classify all floral scents in the floral fragrance family. Citrus fragrances are in the citrus fragrance family.
The Woody family take you to a campfire in the forest Classic woody base notes of leather, oud and sandalwood team up to create a distinctive musky and smoky scent.

The Green family that remind you of nature. Whether your heart goes out to lovely flower gardens or rugged mountain areas.

The Oriental family are spicy, warm scents. They are often sensual and seductive. These perfumes are surprisingly mysterious; you can’t help but fantasize about long, passionate nights.

The Fruity family is a style for colorful spirits who go outside when the sun is out, drink cocktails on the beach and laugh with friends.

The Floral family: ideal for when you want to surround yourself with a subtle, romantic scent. this family is elegant and can vary from cuddly and friendly to seductive and confident.

The Aquatic family remind you of the sea. The water elements in the heart of the perfumes evoke the feeling of a breezy day at the beach.

The Citrus family are fresh, light, sparkling scents that feel like a summer vacation and where citrus fruits play the main role.

Perfume doesn’t last on me. What do you suggest?

Many people feel that perfume doesn’t last on them!
Here are some of the common reasons:
Daily Perfume
if you wear a perfume for a long time, your nose will have become used to it. Changing your perfume regularly would be a solution.
Perfume Concentration
A higher perfume concentration might better match your expectations and needs.
Changed Perfume Formula
Sometimes manufacturers may have had to change the formula, as some ingredients become unavailable or have been discovered to be unsafe, which might explain why they don’t last.
Perfume Type
Switching to a perfume that is classified as Oriental, Aromatic, Fougere, Chypre, Woody or Amber, will give you more better longevity.
Dry Skin
It may be that your skin is dry.
Applying a little bit of body oil or lotion to your skin before you use your perfume may be a solution. Or you can choose an alcohol-free or oil-based perfume.
