Troubleshooting
Scent fades quickly after application.
Ensure you are applying the fragrance to pulse points (wrists, neck, behind ears) where body heat helps diffuse the scent. Also, apply to moisturized skin, as fragrance lasts longer on hydrated skin. Avoid rubbing the fragrance after application.
Sprayer is not dispensing fragrance or is clogged.
Ensure the cap is fully removed. Gently wipe the nozzle with a clean, damp cloth to remove any potential dried residue. If it's a new bottle, you may need to prime the sprayer by pressing it several times until a mist appears.
Bottle appears to be leaking.
Check that the cap is securely fastened and that the sprayer mechanism (if removable for refilling) is tightly attached. Store the bottle upright to minimize potential leakage.
Scent smells different than expected or has changed over time.
Ensure the fragrance has been stored properly in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Exposure to light and heat can alter the chemical composition of the fragrance. Also, check if it's past its recommended shelf life (often indicated by a period-after-opening symbol on the packaging).
