Questions and Answers

Q: How does Stercus smell?

A: This perfume is an interesting blend of various notes that may not seem as if they match well, but that end up creating a mystifying fragrance. The top notes give hints of air and spice with a touch of almond. The heart is pure, featuring only rose for that floral presentation. The base is rich, deep and complex. It adds a touch of a little bit of everything, from vanilla to the traditional musk. The overall result is something that is chameleon. Each user experiences something slightly different.

Q: Where do you apply Stercus?

A: To increase the longevity of the fragrance, spray onto your major pulse points such as behind your ears, at the base of your neck, on the wrists, behind the knees and in the inner elbows.

Q: What is the fragrance concentration?

A: This fragrance is an easy de parfum. It will generally smell quite strong at first and be able to maintain its scent for about eight hours. The oil concentration is about 10% to 15%, which means there is far less water or alcohol as filler.

Q: Is Stercus for him or her?

Q: Does Stercus last long?

A: Stercus should last up to eight hours, but keep in mind that your body chemistry can impact the longevity. In addition, how you apply the fragrance and the environment in which you are could also shorten the staying power due to the heat dissipating the oils faster.

Q: What season should I wear Stercus?
