What's In The Bottle?

· Pure Oil One Ounce, Half Ounce, Quarter Ounce & 14-day Sample Sizes

Let us introduce you to your fragrance the way it was meant to be - Pure perfume without alcohol or other useless & toxic fillers. Discover what the designer had in mind - smooth, long-lasting, rich, balanced and full of luscious aroma. Never offensive or overpowering, long lasting and balanced. They occupy only your own private space and leave a gentle trail only where you choose.

Just like jewels, pure fragrance oils vary tremendously in quality. We have put an enormous amount of effort into selecting the best possible quality pure fragrance oils of every type and the thousands of positive store and fragrance reviews are proof. We've been changing the way people think about fragrance since 1996 with many happy & beautiful smelling customers to prove it.

Day after day, customers tell us our versions smell better than the originals. Perhaps the lack of alcohol and, in many cases, higher quality oils than those found in the "original" makes the difference. Ounce for ounce, our perfume bottles contain fifteen to twenty times as much pure perfume oil as the typical Eau de Toilette, but choosing pure fragrance oils is not so much a question of saving money, as it is of getting your money's worth.

Usage:
A drop or two at most should be all you need. Unlike conventional perfumes, our oils are alcohol and filler free, so it may take a minute or two for the slowly warming scent to emit its full bouquet. The fragrance will be smoother and better balanced than any alcohol-driven aroma and well worth the wait.

Our fragrance oils last most people six to twenty-four hours, depending upon skin type, evaporating naturally during the course of the day. Our pure perfume oils also last longer in the bottle - commercial perfumes with fillers spoil, sometimes in as little as twelve months, but pure perfume oils retain their fragrance year after year.

So Happy!!
Within two days I received my Calandre Type fragrance which has been discontinued. I have worn Calandre and Rive Gauche (which is still available, but entirely different from the original). I ordered both the body spray Calandre type and a sample bottle of the Rive Gauche oil. I have one bottle of Calandre, which I just opened, left. Needless to say, when the bottles arrived, I had to compare the original Calandre with the Calandre type and I found NO difference, which makes me extremly happy. So, Paco Rabbane is no longer going to have me as a life long customer (their mistake!!) because I have found the Fragrance Shoppe and I WILL BE A LIFE LONG CUSTOMER OF THIERS!! I hope that Fragrance Shoppe will be around forever and will continue to produce their top notch oils and body sprays. Also, the Rive Gauche sample oil is awesome! I compared it to the bottle I recently bought and since the original fragrance was changed in the early 2000's I have not been happy with the new formulation but the sample you sent is EXACTLY how I remember the original....thank you so much and I look forward to sending repeat orders!!!

Must have Calandre?!
I've been wearing Calandre since I was 17 years old. It is my signature scent. I recently found it had been discontinued and have been coveting my last bottle. I am happy to report that my sample from The fragrance shop smells like Calandre. I am ordering more right now. Thank you for saving me

I remember it well!
I first bought this fragrance as a bath oil in a shop under the Eiffel Tower back when I visited Paris for a weekend in the early 70's. I was so sad when I heard it was not longer being produced, but then I found this lovely site and my sample is just as I remembered. I will be ordering very soon!
