My Fragrance Tips

Who makes The Different Company fragrances?

How can I keep my perfume for as long as possible without it deteriorating?

The Different Company advises you to protect your perfume from any source of light or heat. The color of your perfume may vary over time due to the natural ingredients in its composition. This change in color does not alter the olfactory qualities of the perfume or its composition.

How do I choose my perfume?

To make the best choice for your fragrance, we recommend you visit one of our approved boutiques, where our advisors will be able to guide you, or complete our online diagnosis. You can also discover our fragrances by consulting their olfactory construction and history in the Perfumes section. We also invite you to discover our Perfume Diagnostic.

My products

Where can I find your products?

All The Different Company products are available from our online store. However, if you would like to visit one of the brand's authorized sales outlets, we suggest you consult the list of Points de Vente on our website. Our boutique is located at 10 rue Ferdinand Duval in the 4th arrondissement of Paris, open Tuesday to Saturday from 12pm to 7pm.

I feel like my perfume has changed...

For a variety of reasons, we sometimes find ourselves obliged to reformulate certain fragrances. This is because new regulations are continually being introduced to protect the health of users, species, the environment, etc., or because certain raw materials are no longer available. Like all Maisons, we have to find a solution to continue offering you the fragrance you love. Don't worry, expert perfumers work on these formula modifications to ensure that the olfactory qualities and sensations remain the same. We have also had to stop, at least temporarily, certain fragrances that we felt were unsatisfactory after reformulation, so as not to disappoint you. Nevertheless, there are still cases where, due to the high concentration of natural ingredients in our fragrances, your skin may no longer transcribe your perfume in exactly the same way. If this is the case, we apologize and invite you to discover our other fragrances. Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions about a specific fragrance!
