Perfume questions
A sampling of our most frequently asked questions.
|
|
Can two different perfumes have the same name? |
|
Perfumes are able to have the same name unless there is an enforceable trademark. This is usually only applicable in the case of a unique name. A word with common usage is difficult to trademark. |
|
|
Why are natural oils so much more expensive? |
|
It never sounds convincing when the manufacturer tells you about how costly their materials are so allow us to quote from Wikipedia: "…1 kilogram of the natural oil requires processing several million jasmine blossoms and costs around $10,000, indole (among other things) is used in the manufacture of synthetic jasmine oil (which costs around $10/kg)."

|
Why do I have to pay for tester/samples? |
|
Fleurage create rare and unique perfumes from very expensive ingredients. The price is as a per ml cost for a part of a precious luxury. |
|
Which products are made where? |
|
Fleurage has a source locally first policy on everything we undertake.
Perfumes
The botanical extracts come from all over the world and are purchased for Fleurage by either an Australian Oil broker or from Australian companies who source the ingredients. The perfumer’s alcohol comes from Australia. The perfume bottles come from a small company in Taiwan after exhausting all avenues in Australia first. The perfume boxes and labeling are all made and printed in Australia and put together in the perfumery.
Bath and Body products
All product ingredients and packaging is purchased in Australia but some components come from overseas. All labeling is made in Australia and all products manufactured in the perfumery except for the soaps which are sourced locally. |
|
What do you mean by botanical extracts? |
|
All of the perfumes are formed using essential oils in their various forms, such as concrete, resin, absolute and liquid oil, that are obtained from plants. |
|
Are there any animal products in your ingredients? |
|
The only intentional animal derived product we are aware of is in the silk cream. This contains silk protein powder taken from the discarded silk moth cocoons. We go to great lengths to exclude unnecessary animal ingredients and have a strict no animal testing policy. |
