Frequently Asked Questions
Below are a few of the most common questions I get. If you have additional questions, please reach out here
Where are your fragrances made?
Where are the fragrances made? All products are made in my studio in Los Angeles, California
How are your products made?
All Ankermade fragrances are composed and formulated by me, then made into small batches that rests for about a month or so depending on what materials I use in the formula. Then the “oil” is diluted in either natural alcohol or fractionated coconut oil (unscented) and stored in a cool place before being filtered if the finished fragrance is to be used with an atomizer. Then bottled, labels and packaged. All meticulously by hand.
What is strength is your fragrances?
All my fragrances (unless stated in the individual listing) is Eau De Parfum strength. This is a concentration of aromatic compound such as essential oils and man made molecules of more than 12% in the finished product. Fragrances with a higher concentration of aromatics will last longer and of course be more concentrated than for instance a Cologne which is around 5% fragrance materials.
How should I store my fragrance?
All fragrances are best kept out of sunlight and in a cool dark place with the bottle standing up. Please be careful transporting you purchase in areas that are particularly warm (I speak from experience!) Your fragrance with expand and also loose the scent of precious top notes as the have a much lower boiling point than for exam[le musk.
How long will my fragrance last?
Because my eau de parfum concentration with will age well and keep for years. Think of your bottle as a good wine. The notes will change slightly over timehowever due to me making sure to rest all blends for more than a month it will not change a great deal if keep under the right conditions.
