Frequently Asked Questions
Application & Wear
Q: What’s the best way to apply my perfume for a longer-lasting scent?
A: Apply your fragrance to pulse points—wrists, neck, inner elbows, and behind the knees. These warm spots help project and extend your scent throughout the day. Avoid rubbing your wrists together, as it can disrupt the fragrance profile.
Q: Should I spray perfume on skin or clothing?
A: For optimal performance, apply directly to clean, moisturized skin. Fragrance can also be lightly misted onto clothing, but please be cautious—some oils may stain delicate fabrics.
Layering & Fragrance Routine
Q: How should I layer my fragrances for maximum effect?
A: A proper layering routine builds depth and enhances longevity. Here’s our recommended order:
-
Fragranced body wash
-
Fragranced sugar scrub or mask
-
Fragranced body lotion or body oil
-
Body perfume or spray
Layering complementary scent profiles helps your fragrance evolve beautifully throughout the day.
Q: Can I mix different Sunrise Scents fragrances?
A: Yes! Layering multiple scents allows you to create your own signature blend. Start with light or fresh scents and finish with deeper, warm base notes for balance and harmony.
​Storage & Longevity
Q: What’s the best way to store my perfumes?
A: Store your fragrances in a cool, dry, and dark space, away from direct sunlight or heat. Avoid storing in humid environments like bathrooms. Light and heat can degrade the quality of the scent over time.
Q: How long does perfume last?
A: Perfumes can last for many years if properly stored. While some subtle changes may occur with age, well-preserved fragrances often remain enjoyable long past the typical 2–3 year window.
​Allergies & Safety
Q: What if I have sensitive skin or allergies?
A: We recommend performing a patch test—apply a small amount to your forearm and wait 24 hours. Our fragrances are formulated using IFRA-compliant, skin-safe ingredients, but individual sensitivities vary.
Q: Do you share full ingredient lists?
A: We do not publish complete formulas due to their proprietary nature. However, our products are paraben- and phthalate-free. If you have concerns, email support@sunrisescents.com before placing an order.
