Frequently Asked Questions

The difference lies in pure fragrance oil concentration. Standard mass-market commercial perfumes are typically Eau de Toilette (EDT) with only 8–12% fragrance oils, which often fade after 3–5 hours.

Every fragrance in the Maison Altier portfolio is strictly formulated at an authentic 18–20% Eau de Parfum (EDP) concentration. This high-endurance formula ensures 8–12+ hours of staying power and a radiant, enveloping sillage that stays true from morning until evening.

All fragrances are crafted in state-of-the-art European laboratories using master essences sourced from Grasse (France), Spain, and historic European perfume regions. They strictly adhere to IFRA (International Fragrance Association) and European cosmetic safety standards, free from parabens and phthalates.

Our perfumes evolve harmoniously in three classical stages:

• Top Accords (0–15 mins): The initial sparkling opening notes (citrus, pear, pink pepper, fresh florals).
• Heart Accords (2–4 hours): The radiant core personality of the fragrance (white jasmine, rose, iris, spices).
• Base Accords (8–12+ hours): The deep, warm fixatives that anchor the scent to your skin (precious woods, bourbon vanilla, amber, white musk).
