FAQ

About Our Perfumes

Q: What makes Ourelle perfumes different from other luxury fragrances? A: Ourelle perfumes are crafted with premium quality ingredients and designed to embody sophistication and elegance. Each fragrance in our collection is carefully formulated to provide long-lasting wear and a unique olfactory experience. Our luxurious bottles are not just containers—they're works of art that reflect the quality of the perfume inside.

Q: Are Ourelle perfumes authentic? A: Yes, absolutely! All Ourelle perfumes sold through our official Shopify store are 100% authentic luxury fragrances. We guarantee the quality and authenticity of every bottle.

Q: What is the difference between Eau de Parfum and Eau de Toilette? A: Ourelle fragrances are Eau de Parfum (EDP), which contains a higher concentration of fragrance oils (typically 15-20%) compared to Eau de Toilette. This means our perfumes last longer on your skin—usually 6-8 hours or more—and have a richer, more intense scent.

Q: How long does Ourelle perfume last? A: Our Eau de Parfum formulations are designed to last 6-8 hours on the skin, with some notes lingering even longer depending on your skin type and environmental conditions. For best results, apply to pulse points and moisturized skin.

Q: Are Ourelle perfumes suitable for sensitive skin? A: While our perfumes are made with quality ingredients, everyone's skin is different. If you have sensitive skin or known fragrance allergies, we recommend doing a patch test on a small area before full application. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.

Q: Are your perfumes cruelty-free? A: Yes! Ourelle is committed to ethical practices. Our perfumes are cruelty-free and not tested on animals.

Product Care & Usage

Q: How should I store my Ourelle perfume? A: To maintain the quality and longevity of your perfume:

  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
  • Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use
  • Avoid storing in bathrooms where temperature and humidity fluctuate
  • Keep away from extreme temperatures

Q: How should I apply perfume for best results? A: For optimal performance:

  • Apply to pulse points (wrists, neck, behind ears, inner elbows)
  • Apply to clean, moisturized skin
  • Don't rub your wrists together—this breaks down the fragrance molecules
  • Layer with unscented lotion for longer-lasting scent
  • Spray from 6-8 inches away

Q: How long will a bottle of Ourelle perfume last? A: With proper storage, unopened perfume can last 3-5 years. Once opened, we recommend using within 1-2 years for optimal fragrance quality. The longevity also depends on how frequently you use it.

Q: Can I wear Ourelle perfume every day? A: Absolutely! Our perfumes are designed for daily wear. However, you may want to rotate between different scents to prevent "nose blindness" and keep your fragrance experience fresh.
