Frequently Asked Questions

Eau de Parfum (EDP) contains a higher concentration of aromatic oils — typically 15–20% — compared to Eau de Toilette or body mists, which makes it the preferred choice for anyone seeking a long-lasting perfume that genuinely endures. At KAAVAS, every fragrance is crafted as a premium Eau de Parfum precisely because India's warm climate demands a scent with staying power. Our high-concentration EDP formulas are engineered to evolve beautifully through top, heart, and base notes — from the first spritz in the morning to the final lingering trail well into the night.

A These descriptions are used to identify the strength or concentration of oil in a fragrance. T he concentrations can vary from fragrance to fragrance but here is an average guide. In general, the higher the percentage, the higher the price – but be aware that different concentrations (Perfume, or Eau de Toilette, etc.) may also have different notes in them, and not simply be weaker or stronger. So when you like a fragrance, we suggest you explore its different concentrations. Extract/solid perfume – 20-30% Perfume – 15-25 % Eau de Parfum (EDP) – 8-15% Eau de Toilette (EDT) – 4-8% Cologne (EDC) – 2-4% After Shave – 2-4% Soap – 2-4% Body cream/lotion – 3-4% Perfumed candle – 10%

For a truly versatile unisex perfume that performs confidently across India's diverse climate zones, Lit 24×7 is our most recommended everyday fragrance. Its warm core of Sandalwood, Cedarwood, Vanilla, and Musk creates a smooth, modern woody signature that feels equally refined on any gender — whether worn at the office, on a casual outing, or into the evening. Unlike lighter cologne-style scents that fade quickly in heat and humidity, this premium fragrance is formulated as a long-lasting Eau de Parfum, ensuring consistent projection and sillage from the first hour to the last.

Perfumes don’t expire quickly. When stored properly in a cool, dark, and dry place (but not refrigerated), they can last up to 45 years or even longer without losing their quality.

KAAVAS is a proudly Indian niche luxury perfume brand, created with the same rigour, ingredient integrity, and master perfumer discipline as the world's most celebrated fragrance houses — but with a soul that is unmistakably Indian. Our Eau de Parfum collections are composed using ethically sourced premium ingredients: rare ouds, sun-ripened florals, precious resins, and refined musks. Unlike mass-market imported fragrances that compromise on oil concentration and ingredient quality, every KAAVAS long-lasting perfume delivers a premium fragrance experience that rivals global names at a fraction of the price.

Yes, we offer a selection of travel-size perfumes and testers, perfect for sampling new scents or carrying on the go.

Avoid rubbing the area after applying perfume. This can break down the fragrance molecules and alter its scent profile. Instead, let the perfume settle naturally into your skin.

This happens to everyone, and it isn't a flaw in the fragrance — it's chemistry. Perfume doesn't sit on skin unchanged; it reacts with your individual skin type, pH, hydration levels, and even diet, so the same bottle can bloom differently on two people. Oilier skin tends to grip fragrance molecules and release them slowly, making a scent feel richer and longer-lasting. Drier skin lets top notes evaporate faster, so the fragrance can read lighter and fade sooner, often needing a touch more moisturiser or an earlier reapplication. Hormones, body temperature, and even the season play a role too, which is why a fragrance you loved in winter can feel different in summer, or why the same KAAVAS blend can smell warmer on one wrist and brighter on another. This is exactly why we recommend testing perfume on your own skin rather than a paper blotter or someone else's arm — a blotter shows you the raw formula, but your skin tells you the real story. If you're choosing between fragrance families, give a scent twenty to thirty minutes to move past its opening notes before deciding. Skin chemistry is also why exploring across KAAVAS's range matters more than judging a single bottle — it helps you discover which composition genuinely belongs to you, not just which one smells good on paper.

Yes. Our perfumes are 100% cruelty-free—we never test on animals, nor do we source from suppliers who do. Every bottle is crafted with ethically sourced, high-quality ingredients, so you can enjoy luxury with a clear conscience.

Apply your perfume to warm pulse points such as the wrists, neck, inner elbows, and behind the ears. These areas naturally generate heat, helping the fragrance diffuse beautifully and last longer throughout the day.

Technically, none. Fragrances are genderless. Marketing defines them. Choose what you like. ( Technically all Albatross perfumes are unisex )

A discovery set is the safest option. It lets them try multiple fragrance families on their own skin and find their own favourite, rather than you guessing on a single full-size bottle. The KAAVAS Discovery Set includes all four core fragrances in 20ml bottles for ₹1,599.
