Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, 100%. Our products contain none of the synthetic ingredients found in conventional perfumery and body care. We place our customers' well-being over profits by using only the highest-quality renewable botanical ingredients rather than inexpensive but harmful synthetics.

So there are no petrochemicals, synthetic fragrance molecules, aroma chemicals, isolates, phthalates, parabens, sulfates, glycols, artificial preservatives, synthetic dyes or GMO ingredients in our products.

Just pure, unadulterated botanicals that connect you to the natural world and leave you feeling vibrant, healthy and beautiful.

Our products are 100% natural and organic. Each product contains between 75% and 95% certified organic ingredients. Our products are vegan, and are never tested on animals. They are 100% GMO-free.

The primary difference between an Eau de Parfum and a Parfum is the amount of perfume concentration they contain.

An Eau de Parfum contains between fifteen and twenty percent perfume concentration, while a Parfum contains between twenty and forty percent. This difference in percentage is what makes an Eau de Parfum somewhat lighter in character, and also less costly, than a Parfum.

The amount of perfume concentration affects a scent's longevity as well. An Eau de Parfum will typically last four to five hours on the skin, while a Parfum will last for six to eight hours or longer.

CUSANI perfumes are for anyone who is drawn to them. They can be worn by both women and men.

Perfumer's Note: I have never been one to view certain essences as masculine and others as feminine. In my view, it's an outmoded and unnecessarily limiting perception. So when I compose my perfumes, gender doesn't play a role in my thinking. My only objective is to create something beautiful that anyone can enjoy.

My philosophy is simple: if you like it, wear it. I'm not a fan of rules in perfumery. I don't subscribe to the notion that certain fragrances should only be worn at certain times, or only by specific genders. Scent is a beautiful, vital part of life, so why limit yourself? Wear what you want, when you want to, and enjoy!

Interestingly, it wasn't until the early twentieth century that fragrances began to be marketed separately to men and women. Prior to that, there was no distinction — perfumes were simply created for anyone who wanted to wear them. In recent years, the trend of marketing scents based on gender has become less dominant as more people discover there's no reason to limit themselves when it comes to scent. — Claudia

Yes, our Body Oils are multi-purpose. They work equally well on face, hair and body. Super-moisturizing and lightweight, they absorb rapidly and are very concentrated — a little goes a long way. Our synthetic-free, waterless Body Oil formula is aromatherapeutic, non-comedogenic and hypoallergenic. Smooth onto slightly damp skin, apply to hair, or pour 2 to 3 capfuls into a warm bath.

To maximize shelf life, we recommend keeping all of our products at room temperature (between 59˚ and 86˚ F), with caps tightly closed, in a dry place away from direct sunlight. It's best to keep perfumes in a dark area, like a drawer (although that's not necessary with our other products). We don't use artificial preservatives in our products, so proper storage is an important factor in their shelf life.

CUSANI products are sold exclusively on this website. They are not sold in shops or on other websites. We handcraft our products in artisanal batches using the highest-quality botanical essences in the world. Because of their finely crafted nature and precious ingredients, we prefer to sell our products directly to our customers.

You may want to try fragrance samples before purchasing full-sized bottles of perfume, as products cannot be returned or exchanged. Fragrance samples are available in Discovery Sets and also as individual samples.
