Are your products all natural?
We use natural essential oils, absolutes, extracts, distillations and resins along with professional perfume-grade synthesized aroma molecules & bases. Some of our fragrances contain only natural ingredients, which we detail in the product descriptions. We source our ingredients very carefully and our products never contain preservatives, phthalates, colorants, thickeners, parabens or ‘fragrance oils’ meant for making candles & soaps. All our formulations are vegan, cruelty free and full of love & positive energy!
NOTE ON ALLERGENS: Some perfumery ingredients, particularly naturals, can be irritants and are not recommended for use on sensitive areas. Always test any perfume for skin allergies on a small area before applying more freely.
Why do you put crystals in the bottle?
Crystals and gemstones are all associated with energetic properties that can help improve different aspects of life. Each perfume oil is designed with a specific intention, and the crystals only help bolster the aromatherapy and metaphysical aspects of each fragrance. Big Love Pheromone Perfume for Her, for instance, contains Rose Quartz – the ultimate heart crystal for encouraging feelings of adoration!
I’ve always used spray fragrances and I’m not very familiar with oil-based fragrances. What’s the difference?
Oil fragrances tend to last longer than sprays because they’re applied to concentrated areas rather than being spread all around, but sprays tend to provide a stronger, more wafting scent. We celebrate the idea of fragrance as a personal experience, and our perfume oils provide mood-enhancing pleasantry for the wearer as well as a light yet enchanting gift to those who enter the wearer’s aural sphere. Our sprays offer enhanced coverage and diffusion/sillage for those who prefer a more pronounced fragrance. We hope to offer something different for perfume oil regulars, something new for those who are accustomed to sprays, and something unique for everyone who enjoys fragrance, whether it’s a spray or a roll-on.
How long do orders take to ship?
Orders will ship out the same day or the business day following the date the order was placed. We ship USPS Ground Advantage from Florida and provide tracking information as soon as it is available. Most shipments deliver anywhere in the United States within 5 days. Please be sure that the shipping address you provide is USPS verified.
What if I don’t like the fragrance? Do you accept returns?
If you are unhappy with your purchase for any reason, please let us know and give us a chance to make it right. We understand that fragrance is highly subjective and personal, and while we cannot accept returns, we will gladly send a free replacement fragrance if the one you purchased doesn’t work for you. If you have any questions about our fragrances prior to ordering, just send us a message! We are happy to discuss our products in more detail, share suggestions, etc. We know how difficult it is to shop for fragrances online because everyone experiences fragrances in their own way. We encourage everyone to start with our 3-pack of samples, which we offer at a low price to help you zero in on the fragrance that’s right for you.
Besides Big Love, are some of the fragrances more masculine or feminine than others?
Majesty is smoky and leathery, Coda is fresh and spiced, and Empire is woodsy-fresh, so these fragrances lean masculine in the traditional sense. Some of the florals like Fleur de Lis, Dream Weaver, Tropic and Belle might be considered exclusively feminine, but we believe anyone could rock any of our fragrances. Since the experience of fragrance is subjective and very difficult to describe, we offer low-priced samples so you can find your signature scent.
What does perfume have to do with aromatherapy?
When you think of aromatherapy, you may think of putting some lavender oil in a diffuser at night to help with sleep. But aroma can impact the full spectrum of feelings beyond sleepiness. Aromas conjure memories and reach parts of the brain that can influence feelings of happiness, sexiness, acceptance, empathy, confidence and more. Many of our perfumes contain natural ingredients that can have subtle mood-boosting benefits that we further amplify with specific crystals and gemstones.
The term ‘amber’ is very vague in perfumery. What does it mean at Exuma Fragrance Co.?
Amber is really more an abstract idea than a particular scent, based on what golden, fossilized amber should smell like based on its appearance (it’s really odorless). For many, the classic amber scent is a combination of vanilla & the plant resin labdanum, which has a honeyed, cola-like herbaceous scent. We consider most fragrances with rich vanillic base notes to be amber-style, while other rich fragrances fall into our woody florals category. Finally there’s white amber, a fresh abstract scent based on the aroma of ambergris (the original amber in perfumery). White amber fragrances are usually represented as being softly floral & lightly musky, similar to dryer sheets.
There are so many perfume oils out there… What makes Exuma Fragrance Co. unique?
It’s all about the quality of the ingredients and the care we put into developing and producing each fragrance, along with our commitment to outstanding customer service. Exuma Fragrance Co. was formed after years of frustration shopping for fragrances online. Some things that set us apart include low priced samples, fast free shipping, quick friendly communications, and a wide variety of fragrances. We truly want to help you find your next signature scent! We truly want to help you find your next signature scent!
Do you offer custom fragrances?
We have made a few fragrances based on customer suggestions, but we tend to shy away from doing custom blends. Making a fragrance can take weeks of trials and significant ingredient expense, so we are not able to offer customer fragrances with any sort of regularity. If you have an idea for a fragrance that you would like to share with us, please send it our way. It might just be the next thing that stands out on our idea board!
