Clean, unique and pure. A fragrance made out of a single element called Cetalox (also known as Ambroxan). Originally created in the 1950’s and usually used in perfumery as a base note, here it plays the lead role. Another advantage of this particular composition is that it is entirely allergen free. The result is minimalist, elegant, pure… a fragrance that creates an effect different from traditional perfumes, a pheromone-like effect. Not a Perfume does not follow modern perfumery rules – it creates its own! Wear alone or layer with other fragrances for soft, gentle yet alluring fragrance.

HOW IT WEARS
Not a Perfume is amazing worn on its own or layered if you feel like giving your perfume an extra little oomph! Having a pheromone effect on the skin, Not a Perfume wears close – it is the type of scent that we don’t smell too distinctly in one quick little smell, but makes a strong impact as someone walks past with the fragrance on.

This scent is deceptively simple but damn addictive! It is the smell of your skin fresh after a shower. Clean, slightly soapy and comforting – it is my go to for those days I just want to feel natural and light. I also enjoy layering it with other perfumes for a unique scent combination. Not a perfume is like a classic tailored white shirt – great on its own or paired with other accessories.

Layer it and add another dimension to your favourite fragrances or just wear it by itself for a clean, fresh laundry close-to-the-skin scent.

This is a fragrance that ticks all the boxes for me. You just can’t go wrong or find faults. I layer it but also use it alone for that “just had a shower” feel and scent. The notes are soft and feminine. You could have another top up spray of this and still wouldn’t smell like an old bunch of flowers.. Perfume is such a personal choice, so unless I REALLY know what someone likes I never gift it. However, NOT A PERFUME is one I’d feel confident to give.

I couldn’t love this scent more. It’s sexy but soft, clean and classy. I’ve been wearing it everyday at work for years but still love it enough to wear it on a date. It’s not a “statement”, it’s the kind of perfume that makes you want to lean in closer. Complete genius.
