Most people own one fragrance and wear it everywhere. It is an understandable habit and it is the wrong shape for how fragrance works, because the same composition behaves differently at 35 degrees and at 12, at a desk and at dinner.
Three bottles, picked for three situations rather than three moods, covers almost everything.
Bottle one: the day
Light, close to the skin, inoffensive at a metre. This is the one you will use most and replace first. A Fresh or Citrus composition in eau de parfum is the standard answer, and in Australia it will carry you through eight months of the year.
Buy this one in the 50 ml. It is the bottle that empties.
Bottle two: the evening
Denser, warmer, slower. This is where the Amber and Vanilla families earn their place, and where a higher concentration makes sense. Our Niche line is extrait, the most concentrated form we sell.
You will use this one perhaps twice a week, so one bottle will last you a long time.
Bottle three: the odd one
Something that does not fit the first two. A vetiver, an oud, a sharp green, a single-note floral, whatever you liked on a strip but could not justify. This is the bottle that stops a collection becoming three versions of the same idea, and in practice it is the one people become known for.
Browse Woody or the Niche range and pick the one you keep coming back to smell.
Doing it in one go
If your three come from our Frequence range, the set is simple to put together: any three Frequence bottles are $84. The offer is applied automatically at checkout, with no code to enter, and you can mix any Frequence scents you like. Niche and Creation bottles are not part of the offer and stay at their listed price. The bundle builder on any Frequence product page lets you assemble the set without leaving the page.
If you would rather narrow it down before committing to three, the Find your scent quiz will give you a shortlist, and our Sydney and Brisbane stores will let you test on skin. A free 2 ml tester is also added to your cart automatically when you buy a bottle, and with three or more bottles that becomes a free set of five 2 ml testers.
One rule for the wardrobe
Do not buy a fourth because the third is not getting used. An unused bottle is information: it tells you that situation does not come up in your life. Replace it with more of what you actually wear.
