01 / THE PERSPECTIVE

START WITH THE IDEA.

Our perception of a scent can adapt with repeated exposure. Adding more every time it becomes less obvious may make the result uncomfortably strong for nearby people.

02 / THE DETAIL

LOOK MORE CLOSELY.

Close quarters, warm rooms and public transport may amplify the importance of restraint. Some workplaces also have fragrance-free policies.

03 / THE EXPERIENCE

MAKE A CONSIDERED CHOICE.

Begin with the smallest suitable application, allow it to settle and consider the setting before reapplying.

04 / THE HOUSE

YOUR OWN IMPRESSION.

Practical advice on wearing and handling fragrance thoughtfully at home, around other people and when skin or surroundings need extra care. This article offers general guidance rather than a claim about the ingredients, stock or performance of any unfinished XASIS fragrance. Finished products should be assessed using their own specific information.
