This depends only on your usage habits. On average a 50ml bottle, used one time a day, lasts about 2 to 3 months.

Zayya perfumes are more than just a scent; it’s a representation of your unique style and your willingness to break away from the ordinary. It’s a declaration that you value the classics but also embrace the new and the inventive. It signifies your appreciation for creativity, your love for the classics, and your ability to blend tradition with innovation. It’s a fragrance that speaks volumes about your distinctive style and your readiness to make a statement, one scent at a time.

Yes. Zayya perfumes comprise a 30% perfume oil-to-base mixture – giving a long-lasting fragrance.

These terms refer to the strength of the fragrance, or more specifically, to how much high-grade alcohol and/or water has been added to the fragrance oils. PARFUM (usually the most concentrated form you can buy) typically has 22% – 30% fragrance oil dissolved in alcohol. Any mixture with a lower proportion of oil to alcohol is an Eau (water).

Eau de Cologne: (3% – 5% perfume oil)
Eau de Toilette: (4% – 8% perfume oil)
Eau de Parfum: (8% – 18% perfume oil)
PARFUM: (22% – 30% perfume oil)

At Zayya we use international standards to enable us to classify our 50ml perfumes as a PARFUM.

Everything from diets, skin types, genes, hair color, stress, hormonal changes, medication, and even the lifestyle we lead can affect the way a perfume smells on us. PH levels (amount of acidity in our skin) also vary slightly from person to person. Our levels of PH will determine how each ingredient in a perfume will react with our skin.

People with dry skin usually find their perfume lasts a shorter time than those with oily skin, as oily skin has more natural moisture for the perfume oils to cling to. It is important not to purchase a perfume because we read about it in a magazine advert or smelt it on someone. We have to try it on our skin to experience how the perfume reacts with our body chemistry.

Perfumes smell at its best when worn on moisturized skin. The warmth of one’s body enables the fragrance to warm thereby releasing its true scent. Without the necessary oils to hold perfumes it can even misrepresent the true experience of the different notes of the perfume. Seal moisture into your skin by applying hand and body lotion before applying your fragrance.

Perfume oils evaporate faster on dry skin. The best way to make a perfume last longer is to use a body lotion or cream. You can also apply perfumes to your hair, which is said to hold perfume longer than skin.

Also, apply your fragrance low on the body at the back of your knees, as well as behind your ears and on your neck, so that the scent rises and you won’t lose it as quickly. It is also generally applied to your pulse points inside your wrists, elbow areas, the inner center of your arm, shoulders, cleavage, below the adam’s apple, behind your ears, and torso.

Many people define perfume layering as using more than one form of the same perfume, that is, using the fragrance over the matching body lotion or fragrance spritz.

What your typical perfumist means by the term is quite different, and involves applying more than one perfume at the same time to create an entirely new fragrance.

Experiment with our affordable perfumes and create your own unique fragrance.

Remember that applying any fragrance directly on any material/clothing could spoil it.

Perfumes are described in a musical figure of speech as having three sets of ‘notes’, making the harmonious scent accord. The notes unfold over time, with the immediate impression of the top note leading to the deeper middle notes, and the base notes gradually appearing as the final stage. These notes are created carefully with knowledge of the evaporation process of the fragrance.

Top notes: The scents that are perceived immediately upon application of a perfume are called top notes. The top notes consist of small, light molecules that evaporate quickly. They form a person’s initial impression of a perfume. Top notes are also referred to as the head notes.

Middle notes: This is when the scent of perfume comes forward just before the top notes dissipate. The middle note compounds form the “heart” or main body of a perfume and act to mask the often unpleasant initial impression of base notes, which become more pleasant with time. They are also called the “heart notes”.

Base notes: These are the scent of a perfume that appears close to the departure of the middle notes. The base and middle notes together are the main theme of a perfume. Base notes bring depth and solidity to a fragrance. Compounds of this class of scents are typically rich and “deep” and are usually not perceived until 30 minutes after application.

The best way is by testing a perfume on your own skin and not making a buying decision when experiencing it from a piece of paper or someone else’s skin. Your true fragrance experience will emerge as it uniquely develops with the PH-balance of your own skin.

Less is better. Your perfume should never dominate you; rather re-apply after a few hours.

A light fresh floral fragrance is always suitable for spring and summer seasons. Increased body temperature will also increase the smell experience of a perfume as the scent becomes stronger.

During autumn and winter the opposite happens. Build your fragrance wardrobe. Choose fragrances to suit your moods and the occasions.

After a few days of using the same perfume, you become used to it and may not be able to smell the scent as well anymore. The scent is still there and can be smelt by others. A good idea is to build your own perfume wardrobe with different perfumes so that you can alternate between seasons, moods, occasions, and day and evening wear. Using more than one perfume for different reasons and seasons will eliminate this problem.

Yes, research shows that about 75% of our emotions are generated by what we smell. Use your favorite fragrance to uplift your mood, and spirit or to set a romantic aura around yourself. You also might want to wear a different fragrance from boardroom to bedroom.

No, the scent of a fragrance does not change. Spicy food can change the odour of the skin, thereby affecting the overall odour effect of a fragrance.

It is not recommended to spray perfumes directly on clothes because some fabrics may stain. Always apply your fragrance products before dressing.

Apply directly to your pulse points: Inside the wrist, behind the ears, at the temples, the back of the neck, and the cleavage area. Perfume rises, so don’t overlook your legs, knees, thighs, feet, and ankles.

Spraying gives a more even distribution. When dabbed, drops of fragrance can go to waste.

PLEASE NOTE that one should never rub a fragrance-simply spray and leave to dry.

A perfume can keep its scent and potency for years, although the color may change. Don’t assume that that means the quality of the perfume has changed: Perfume is a living substance whose raw ingredients are constantly evolving. Certain storage conditions will ensure the lasting quality of the perfume: The ideal storage conditions are room temperature and out of direct sunlight. Do not place near extreme heat or light. Extreme heat may cause a fragrance to oxidize, to change colour or change its smell. When transporting your fragrances, keep them in a cool place to prevent exposure to excessive heat. Heat builds quickly inside a vehicle. Liquids expand and contract with temperature changes. Excessive heat may cause the bottles to break.

No, our products/ingredients have not and will never be tested on animals.
