FAQ
How are Dilettante perfumes made?
Our perfumes are composed and made in-house and in small batches by the perfumer, Paulo Pascua.
Are Dilettante perfumes safe?
All of our perfumes conform to the 51st Amendment of the IFRA (International Fragrance Association) Standards, a set of safety rules setting the maximum usage of materials in fine fragrances. That said, as with all fragrances, there is still a small risk of allergic reactions in some people. Please test on a small patch of skin before wearing.
We also have a list of potential allergens per fragrance in compliance with the EU Cosmetics Regulation. You may find the list on the external packaging of your perfume.
We use sugarcane-extracted deodorized ethanol from BC Fragrances; a safety data sheet (SDS) is available upon request.
Are Dilettante perfumes all-natural?
No, we use a combination of premium naturals (essential oils, absolutes, extracts, molecular distillations) and synthetic materials. We’ve realized that we tend to use more naturals than the typical perfumer though, hence the longer list of allergens.
Marketing a perfume as “clean” or “all-natural” is misleading at best and fearmongering at worst. “Clean” is a buzzword that can mean anything, and contrary to popular belief, naturals are not inherently safe. We use naturals only at levels established as safe.
Are Dilettante perfumes vegan?
Yes. No animal by-product is used in the perfumes.
Where do you ship?
We only ship within the Philippines right now as we find our footing as a small business. Stay tuned!
