Frequently Asked Questions
Choosing The Right Perfume
How do I choose the right perfume?
Choosing the right perfume comes down to your personal style, the occasion, and the fragrance notes you enjoy most. Fresh citrus scents are ideal for everyday wear, while floral, vanilla, and woody fragrances are popular for evenings and special occasions.
What are perfume notes?
Perfume notes are the individual scents that make up a fragrance. Top notes create the first impression, heart notes form the main character of the perfume, and base notes provide depth and help the fragrance last longer. Understanding perfume notes can help you choose a scent that matches your taste.
What's the difference between perfume, EDT and EDP?
It comes down to how much fragrance oil is in the bottle. Eau de Toilette (EDT) has a lighter concentration and a shorter life on skin. Eau de Parfum (EDP) has more oil, so it lasts longer and sits closer to the skin. Pure perfume (extrait) has the highest concentration of all, which is why our extrait-based perfumes last so much longer than a typical high street spray.
Which perfume is best for everyday wear?
The best perfume for everyday wear depends on your personal preference. Fresh, floral, and citrus fragrances are popular daytime choices, while warm vanilla, sandalwood, and amber scents offer a more distinctive finish. Our collection includes fragrances suitable for work, evenings, and every occasion in between.

Yes. We don't test on animals, and our perfumes are formulated to be gentle enough for everyday wear.
Are Verve perfumes long-lasting?
Yes. Our perfumes are formulated with a strong oil concentration, so they're built to last through a full day rather than fading within a couple of hours.
Are Verve perfumes real designer perfumes?
No, and we're upfront about that. Verve perfumes are inspired by well-known scents, built from the ground up with our own formulas rather than copied from designer bottles. You get a similar character and mood to the original, at a fraction of the price.
Why is Verve perfume so much cheaper than luxury perfume houses?
Luxury perfume houses spend heavily on packaging, celebrity campaigns, and department store space, and that cost gets added to the bottle. We skip all of that. Our perfume is made in the UK, sold directly to you, and priced on what it actually costs to make a great scent, not what it costs to advertise one.

Perfume Care & Longevity
How can I make my perfume last longer?
For longer-lasting fragrance, apply perfume to clean, moisturised skin and focus on pulse points such as your wrists, neck and behind your ears. Store your perfume away from direct sunlight and heat to help preserve its quality.
Apply straight after a shower while skin is still slightly damp, and avoid rubbing your wrists together, as that breaks down the fragrance molecules faster.
Where should I store my perfume?
Store your perfume in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, humidity and sudden temperature changes. Proper storage helps maintain the fragrance's quality and longevity.
Are Verve perfumes long-lasting?
Yes. Our perfumes are formulated with a strong oil concentration, so they're built to last through a full day rather than fading within a couple of hours.
Where should I apply perfume?
Pulse points work best: wrists, neck, behind the ears, and the inside of your elbows. For extra staying power, a light spray on clothing or hair (avoiding delicate fabrics) can help the scent carry through the day.
