Eau de Parfum — The Green Room

Every 50 mL Eau de Parfum arrives with a 3 mL sample of the same fragrance. Open the sample, leave the bottle sealed. Wear it for a full day — a fragrance changes over hours, and it changes again on your skin, which is why the first thirty seconds tell you almost nothing. If it isn't for you, the sealed bottle can be swapped or refunded. You are not committing to anything on the strength of a description.

The Sealed Bottle Promise. Send the full-size bottle back unopened within 30 days of delivery and choose either a swap for any Eau de Parfum of the same value, or a refund on the fragrance. Shipping isn't refunded.

Unopened means the 50 mL bottle is still inside its box with the seal sticker on and intact. Opening your 3 mL sample doesn't affect this — that is exactly what the sample is for. Test with it, leave the box sealed, and the option stays open for the full thirty days.

Buying it as a gift? Anything purchased from 1 November is returnable until 31 January. Ask them to try the sample first and leave the box sealed, and the promise holds.

We would rather you ended up with the right one than kept the wrong one. Read the full returns policy.

Up to 6 hours, though honestly that depends on you. At 20% fragrance concentration these sit well above a body mist or an EDT, but skin type, weather and where you spray all move the number, and dry skin holds fragrance poorly — moisturise first. Spray onto pulse points and clothing, and don't rub your wrists together. The 3 mL sample is the real test: wear it through a full day before you decide.

No. Each one is a 20% concentration of fragrance in perfumer's alcohol — Eau de Parfum strength, not a diluted mist — and every scent in the collection is its own formula, so there's no shared base running underneath them. The alcohol you smell in the first few seconds is the carrier flashing off. Give it two minutes and what's left is the fragrance.

Every formula is assessed against the current IFRA Standards, which set safe use limits for each material in fine fragrance on skin. We don't call anything hypoallergenic — there's no meaningful standard behind that word. If you know you react to a particular material, email us and we'll tell you whether it's in the one you're considering. Patch test with your 3 mL sample first.

They're composed by our award-winning, in-house perfumer, who owns the formulas, and made in Melbourne — not ordered from a catalogue of stock compounds and relabelled. What you're paying for is materials and formulation, rather than a licensed name or a department store counter. Being small is why we can put a 3 mL sample in every box and take a bottle back: we would rather carry that cost than sell you something you won't wear.
