Enchanting Star Anise

Everything You Need to Know About the Scent: 

This fragrance was developed by our perfumers specifically for Parfum sur Mesure and manufactured in Aubagne, Provence, in our workshops. 

 

This product complies with all European cosmetic standards (CLP EC No. 1907/2006 & 1223/2009/EEC) and French standards (IFRA).

 

This base contains naturally derived ingredients. As a result, its color may vary over time depending on its exposure to light, storage conditions, and temperature. In the technical specifications section of this product sheet, you will find the range of colors this fragrance may take on.

Fragrance notes

Top Notes: The fragrance opens with a lively citrus-spicy-green accord. Fresh, luminous citrus notes create an engaging first impression. Star anise, a slightly sweet, anise-like spice, adds an original, Mediterranean aromatic dimension. Green, vegetal, and spicy notes round out this sparkling opening, characterized by a fully assertive aromatic dynamism.
Heart: The heart revolves around a unique floral-aromatic accord. Violet, powdery and romantic, brings its characteristic floral delicacy. Licorice, sweet and with a hint of anise, evokes the confections of yesteryear and creates continuity with the anise-infused opening. Sandalwood, creamy and milky, elegantly structures the accord, bringing a soft, enveloping woody dimension to this original licorice-infused heart.
Base: The base unfolds into a comforting woody-oriental accord. Clean, silky musk prolongs the scent’s trail on the skin. Cedar contributes its light, slightly camphor-tinged woody structure. Golden vanilla rounds out the composition with warm, comforting sweetness, creating a balanced woody-vanilla base—neither too sweet nor too dark—with accessible elegance and remarkable longevity.

Differences in Use Between Scented Base and Formula

The fragrance base is the undiluted concentrate of the fragrance composition. It cannot be used without being diluted in alcohol. This base will allow you to “create” your own fragrance at the concentration of your choice. However, we urge you to read and follow the recommendations regarding maximum concentration and preparation.

 

The macerated formula is a ready-to-use fragrance. It consists of the fragrance base that has been pre-diluted in denatured alcohol according to the percentage indicated in this sheet. Once prepared, the formula is stored in a maceration tank for at least 4 weeks to allow its full richness to develop. It is then filtered to remove any impurities before being offered to you.
Title

Recommended Use for the Scented Base

To measure out the fragrance in your creations, we recommend experimenting until you achieve the desired scent intensity. Each fragrance has its own strength and balance, which can affect the final result.

 

The higher the concentration of the fragrance, the more intense its scent and the longer it lasts.

 

Be sure to check the IFRA certificate, which is available for download on the product page. It specifies the maximum permitted fragrance concentration based on the intended use.

What is the difference between a fragrance formula and a scented base?

The formula we offer for this fragrance is a ready-to-use product. It is formulated—that is, diluted in denatured alcohol at the specified percentage—and then macerated for 4 to 6 weeks before being filtered to remove any impurities. The formula offers the advantage of being a quick, reliable solution based on the expertise of our perfumers. 

 

The concentrated base, on the other hand, must be prepared by you according to your desired concentration level. It offers you a wider range of concentration options for a 100% custom creation. 

How can I ensure that the product complies with regulations? 

You will find all compliance information related to the product in the "Regulatory" tab on this page. Please feel free to review it. 

If you would like more information or are having any trouble, please feel free to contact our customer service department. We will answer all your questions.

How should I store the product I'm buying?

To preserve your formula or fragrance base, we recommend storing it away from direct sunlight at room temperature (between 18 and 30°C). Formulas and fragrance bases do not respond well to sudden changes in temperature. We therefore recommend that you take care to avoid any thermal shock. 

Finally, most formulas/bases contain ingredients of natural origin. As a result, their color may vary over time depending on exposure to light, as well as on the year and/or season, since each harvest of natural ingredients can vary.

Can I order samples?

We do not offer samples. However, you can order our smallest sample-size container (available for most of our scents), which will allow you to "test" the scent.

How long will it take to receive my fragrance? 

If the product is in stock, it will be shipped within 24–48 hours. Once your order has been shipped, most of our shipping partners will deliver it within 2 to 5 business days. 

 

If your product is out of stock, this timeframe may be extended. If that is the case, our customer service team will contact you to provide an estimated shipping date.

Can I return the product if I'm not satisfied?  

If you change your mind, you can return your order at your own expense, provided the products are intact, unopened, and unused (and are not personalized items). That is why we recommend that, if you would like to try the products before purchasing a larger quantity, you order our smallest size to make sure the scent is to your liking.

 

If you wish to return an item, we recommend that you contact our customer service team, who will guide you through the process. Please note: You are responsible for the shipment of returned items. Therefore, we will not be able to issue a refund if your package is lost or damaged.

 

IMPORTANT: In accordance with applicable law, the right of withdrawal does not apply to personalized products.
