Product & Quality
Are you selling designer/niche fragrances?
No, we don’t claim to be the original designer brands. We create our own unique blends that are inspired by major designer and niche fragrances but with our own Maison Emaan twist. We’re fully independent and have no affiliation with those original houses. Maison Emaan competes with designer brands. It does not use their fragrance, is not associated in any way with the designer brands or their manufacturers. All trademarks are property of their respective owners and maintain compliance with the Federal Trade Commission's Statement of Policy Regarding Comparative Advertising.
What are your concentration of fragrances?
All our bottles are Extrait de Parfum at 38% perfume oil
Are the fragrances long-lasting and of good quality?
Our formulations use high-quality IFRA certified fragrance oils made by one of the top perfume houses in Switzerland. Under normal wear you’ll get 8+ hours of longevity on skin and more than 24 hours on clothes.
Why are your fragrances so affordable compared to luxury brands?
Maison Emaan is all about “accessible luxury”, we focus budget & effort on the fragrance quality itself, not inflated branding, large ad budgets including celebrities, or pricing for prestige. That means you get a top-level scent experience without breaking the bank.
How long will the perfume bottle last?
This depends on your usage habits. On average, a 50ml bottle, used one time a day (3 sprays), lasts about 2-3 months.
Do perfumes expire?
Yes and no. Perfumes don't have a fixed expiry date, but they can deteriorate over time if they're not stored properly. To keep your fragrance smelling its best:
- Store it away from direct sunlight and heat.
- Avoid extreme temperature changes (don't leave it baking in your car).
- Skip the bathroom, where heat and humidity fluctuate daily.
- Keep the bottle upright in a cool, dry, dark place like a closet or cupboard.
With proper storage, your perfume can maintain its scent quality for many years. Treat it well, and it'll return the favour.
Why does your packaging says Made in U.A.E?
Your perfume has been on quite a journey! It begins in Switzerland, where the perfume oil is expertly crafted. Next, it travels to Dubai, where our trusted suppliers refine and prepare it for use. Finally, it arrives in Canada, where we macerate, hand-pour each bottle and carefully pack it with love, ready for you to enjoy.
How many free samples do you give?
We give 2 free samples with orders over $99 and if you have joined our Super Confidence Club email list. Please note, free samples are only provided upon request. Before placing your order, on the cart page, mention the names of the fragrances you want under Special Instructions section.
How can I make my perfume last longer?
Fragrance performance can vary quite a bit depending on how a scent is built and how you wear it.
First, concentration matters. That's why we only sell Extrait de Parfum, the highest perfume concentration we can offer so you get the maximum amount of perfume oil in every bottle.
Second, the ingredients matter. Fragrances built around rich base notes like woods, resins, amber, and musks naturally last longer. Lighter notes such as citrus, fruity accords, and some sweet notes evaporate more quickly, so they may not last as long even at the same concentration.
Finally, your skin chemistry matters. Skin hydration, natural oils, body temperature, diet, and even the weather can all affect how a fragrance performs. That's why the same perfume can last 12 hours on one person and 6 hours on another.
To get the best performance from your fragrance:
- Moisturize first. Apply an unscented lotion or moisturizer before spraying. Fragrance lasts longer on hydrated skin.
- Spray on your pulse points. Apply generously to your wrists, neck, behind your ears, inner elbows, and even your shoulders. These warm areas help project the scent and create the beautiful scent trail (sillage) that gets compliments.
- Spray your clothes too. Fabrics tend to hold fragrance longer than skin. Natural materials like cotton, linen, and wool generally perform best.
- Stay hydrated. Well-hydrated skin helps fragrance perform better throughout the day.
- Don't rub your wrists together. Let the fragrance dry naturally to preserve its full character.
- Experiment with layering. Pair your perfume with complementary scents to create more depth and improve longevity.
One last thing: If you stop smelling your perfume after a few hours, it doesn't mean it's gone. Your brain naturally tunes out familiar scents over time, it's a phenomenon called olfactory fatigue, or nose blindness. While you may no longer notice your fragrance, the people around you still can.
