FAQ

# Good questions, honest answers.

**Is this a perfume?**

Yes. Every Dawn & Dunes scent is a botanical perfume made for everyday wear, with plant-based ingredients traditionally used outdoors as a second benefit.

**Where should I apply it?**

Lightly on pulse points like the wrists and neck, or on any exposed skin.

**Can I spray it on clothing?**

Test an inconspicuous spot first. Natural oils can mark delicate or light-colored fabrics.

**How often can I reapply?**

As often as you like. How long it lasts depends on your skin, the heat, the humidity and how active you are.

**Why does the scent vary a little between batches?**

Our formulas use real botanicals, which vary slightly in color and aroma from harvest to harvest.

**How should I store it?**

Tightly closed, somewhere cool and dry, away from heat, flames and direct sun.

**Is it safe for sensitive skin?**

Everyone’s skin is different. Patch test before first use and stop if any irritation develops.

**What do you mean by clean fragrance?**

Clean has no single definition, so here is ours: choosing every ingredient thoughtfully and telling you exactly what is in the bottle. We use organic sugarcane-derived alcohol, witch hazel, botanical essential oils and carefully selected fragrance accords, made without phthalates or parabens, and we review ingredient safety information and IFRA guidance for each formula.

**Which size should I choose?**

The 10 ML ($18) is the way to try a scent and fits a pocket. The 30 ML ($38) is the everyday bottle for your bag. The 100 ML ($68) is the best value once you have found your scent.

**Where do you ship?**

Anywhere in the lower 48 states. Perfume is flammable, so it travels by ground only, which means we cannot ship to Alaska, Hawaii or outside the US yet. Orders over $50 ship free.
