FAQ's

Are these real brand fragrances?

Here at Valley Of Roses we create blends inspired by brand fragrances, upholding the same high quality standards, in order to bring our customers an affordable alternative to their favorite designer perfumes. We are in no way affiliated with the mentioned brands.

 

Why are they so affordable? Are they the same quality of the real brand perfumes?

By eliminating unnecessary packaging, advertising and prestige pricing that designer brands do, we managed to focus all our efforts on the quality of the fragrance and on delivering the exact same (if not better) luxury scent, for a fraction of the price. All of our fragrances are EDP.

 

Are they long lasting?

They are designed to be very long lasting, just like designer fragrances, in some cases even longer, depending on the composition. All of our fragrances are EDP and have a high percentage of perfume oils in each bottle aiding longevity.

 

How long will the fragrance bottle last?

This depends only on your usage habits. On average a 50ml bottle, used one time a day, lasts about 2 to 3 months. Shelf life is 2-3 years. We recommend storing in a dark, cool and dry place.

 

Are Valley of Roses perfumes tested on animals?

Never. All of our perfumes are cruelty free and vegan too!

 

Do you offer international shipping?

At the moment we only ship nationally within Ireland (including Northern Ireland). We offer express tracked shipped via An Post.

 

What does EDP mean exactly?

Perfume types reflect the concentration of aromatic compounds in a solvent, which in fine fragrance is typically ethanol or a mix of water and ethanol. Various sources differ considerably in the definitions of perfume types. All Valley of Roses fragrances are EDP.

The concentration by percent/volume of perfume oil is as follows:

Eau de Parfum (EdP),  Parfum de Toilette (PdT): 10 - 20% (typical ~15%) aromatic compounds. Sometimes listed as “eau de perfume” or “millésime”.

 

Where should I apply my perfume?

We recommend applying your perfume on pulse points  (neck, wrists, behind ears etc) or simply spritz in the air and walk through so that the scent can envelop you. For more tips and tricks and application methods you can check our Blog section.

 

Why can’t I smell my perfume after a while?

    It’s a normal phenomena called nose fatigue, where the nose desensitizes itself when it gets used to the scent. Even though you can’t feel it, others around you still can, so go easy on reapplying the scent.
