How will I know what element I am lacking from just by looking at the general imbalances list above?

If you are not sure about which element you are lacking from the above lists, I would first advise that if you have a number of similar symptoms that are listed in two of the element sections, see if there are any additional symptoms that are only covered under one of the lists & go with that one. So, for example, you have fatigue (which could be a sign of an earth, water or fire imbalance), but have other symptoms like weight gain around the middle & poor digestion, it would indicate you have an imbalance with the fire element. This is straight forwards in relation to which fragrance you need to wear as there would be only one product that you would need, which is offered in my ready to wear range. I would also consider using your intuition & which fragrance you are particularly drawn to in terms of which element it balances, as a lot of the time this is what you need.

The other alternative (if you are still unsure) is you contact me for the bespoke service & I can advise more in depth about which element you need to balance & either recommend a fragrance that incorporates this (which I would make up from scratch based on my ready to wear range), or design a completely new fragrance for you based on the element you need, before then making it for you.

If I have at least a couple of elements I feel are out of balance/lacking, what should I do?

You can use the general method I have mentioned above to work this out, or again, the other alternative is you contact me for the bespoke service & I can advise more in depth about which elements you need to balance. I would recommend the bespoke service, as if there are multiple elements involved, it would be more difficult to work out for someone, plus it would be less expensive to incorporate these into one key fragrance & easier on a day to day basis to utilise, otherwise it would mean you would need to wear 2 or 3 separate fragrances, that would not work synergistically together, as the magic really happens when you mix the right blend of oils together, which really is a fine art, so this needs to be approached with a lot of care & consideration.

How long will it take for my perfume or bespoke perfume to be made & to arrive?

Once I have your order, please allow at least 3 days for me to make this & post to you.

Can I wear the male fragrance if I am a woman?

I would say this is totally up to personal preference. The male fragrances can be worn, but if you like more traditional fragrances that are typically floral or sweet, then the women’s fragrances would suit you more. The male fragrances focus mainly on earthy & musky types of scents, but also have some citrus and floral notes in them, hence why some females may like this kind of scent.

Are there any drug/herb interactions that I need to be careful of?

No, the amount of essential oil you will be wearing is diluted & as you are not ingesting any of the oils, there is no risk involved relating to any drug/herb interactions.

How much will postage cost?

All fragrances will be sent via Royal Mail & by recorded 2nd class post, which will cost £4.20. If you require your order sooner, next day delivery can be arranged at a cost of £7.65.

Can I return my item if I am not happy with it & receive a refund?

Unfortunately, due to the nature of these products I can only accept returns on damaged items.

*You will be responsible for the postage costs to return the item.

How do you know which elemental fragrance is right for you?

If you want to feel a general sense of inner calm, then the combination fragrance called Balance (containing all 4 elements) is the one for you as it would help you to feel grounded, motivated, emotionally balanced & mentally alert.

If you are strongly drawn to a particular element (or know you have a lack or excess of one in particular) then you can pick from one of the 4 single elemental fragrances ranges (earth, water, fire or air). If you have no idea, then I would suggest taking the following below into account when it comes to choosing what elemental fragrance is the right one for you.
