Frequently asked questions
Isotta perfumes have a reasonable trail but are not overwhelming. They are « skin perfumes ». However the scent will remain on your clothes. The base notes used are of the most precious, this is why their smell will remain on the skin, and will be revived, as you will notice, when you have emotions.
Because the essences are! If you have used essential oils before, which is likely if you are here, you might have noticed they are rarely colorless: green, yellow, amber, even blue! We use mainly essential oils, CO2 extracts and absolutes (those not extracted with petrochemical solvents, that are practically all colored). In very tiny quantities we use isolates or natural molecules, those are colorless. In our instructions for use, those are mentioned under “ingredients from biotechnologies”.
Spray generously on décolleté, nape, arms. Unlike what is heard everywhere, the fragrance will last longer on the external part of the wrist, and will diffuse more rapidly on the inside. The amount one sprays of course depends on each individual..
Surprisingly Isotta perfumes suit both genders, as if raw materials were adapting. This is why we have not given them a gender. It is for everyone to choose, there is no rule, follow your instinct. However, L’homme d’à côté has been conceived for men.
Yes! Here are some proven ones : this makes a new perfume! Feel free to try others!
A tout jamais + Bébé Néroli
Sanctuaire + Bébé Néroli
Sanctuaire + I
We formulate without looking at the cost and the final price is calculated taking into account that of the raw materials, the time spent (research, creation and manufacture), and the final concentration. Indeed, all natural raw materials are very expensive if compared with their synthetic equivalent.
Also, we don’t have a wholesaler, so there is no intermediary between you and us.
The 11 ml are expensive in comparison to the 50 ml because the time spent is equal for both.
We do not use any substance extracted from animals by means of their exploitation.
Bébé Neroli and Petitgrain are vegan.
À Tout Jamais et L’homme d’à côté contain Ambre Gris, a substance coming from the sperm whale but which harvest doesn’t need any intervention from man except that of finding it stranded on beaches around the globe. It is a fixative that confers mystery and sensuality.
Civet, castoreum and musk are excluded from our catalogue by ethical choice (Musk has been forbidden long ago).
Perfumes oxidize when exposed to direct sunlight and if submitted to extreme, frequent and brutal changes of temperatures. Just protect them from it. With time, their color might darken without altering their smell.
Bébé Néroli was conceived at the beginning for children, but mothers wanted it as well, so we have concentrated it. It is never advised to spray perfume on the skin of very young children (less than 3 years old), nor on children in general in a regular manner. See instructions for use.
Yes, pay attention though, not to do it on clothes that could stain : the spray diffuses micro-drops, but in quantity and too close, this would wet the cloth. Use your common sense.
Yes, as for all natural products, some parameters cannot be controlled. We do our best, of course, to maintain an even olfactive quality. But it is the beauty of nature that everything is unique.
Isotta perfumes are filtered for some, for others not, when they are it is never with a strong filter, thus some particles will settle at the bottom of the bottle, like you see in wines. About cloudiness, we use enfleurage oils and other extracts which recipe is kept secret, those extracts have macerated in vegetable oils and it happens that some remains, which explains cloudiness.
The cost of the raw materials doesn’t allow us to give individual samples. However, a free 3 ml sample of your choice will be given for each 50ml bottle purchased, and it is possible to buy the entire collection on blotters in a crystal envelope for 5 euros, deductible on your next perfume purchase. It will give you a good idea of the perfume, especially the base notes and you will be able to appreciate how long they last.

We accept returns only if the product is in pristine condition, in its original unopened packaging (paper box and silk paper).
A pipette comes with the purchase of the 11ml purse spray, in order to refill from the 50ml. To avoid leaks, one must absolutely avoid getting the neck – screw and top- of the bottle wet because this would create a path for the perfume to come out.
Isottaparfums could not be held responsible in the event of leaks. Of course, the spray must be screwed back on completely. One can use a rubber glove for instance, to get a better grip.
In case your spray would be defective, (it has never happened to us, but who knows..) we will be happy to send you a new one by post. Please write to us with a description at contact@isottaparfums.com
