Fragrances

  • How do I find my ideal fragrance?


    For a first orientation in our portfolio, we recommend our fragrance test. By answering 5 questions you will get a perfectly fitting recommendation of our fragrances.

  • How can I test a Frau Tonis Parfum fragrance?


    To get a first olfactory impression we recommend our scent samples. If you want to test the fragrances on the skin, we offer bottles from 15ml as well as a customizable fragrance sets with 3 fragrances á 7.5 ml. Or you can visit us in our store in Berlin-Mitte, near the famous Checkpoint Charlie.

  • What can I except from a visit at Frau Tonis?

    The approach to our fragrances is completely uncomplicated and unconventional: our fragrances speak for themselves. The cut glass of our apothecary bottle caps allows you to perceive our fragrances in a very pure and undistorted way. We have designed our fragrances to be gender-neutral, unisex, so that you can concentrate on the essential fragrance elements, such as individual notes and their combination. If you wish, our fragrance experts are on hand to advise you. It is also possible to try out your own fragrance combinations in one-hour fragrance workshops.

  • Perfume doesn't last long on me, what can I do?

    If fragrance does not last as long as it should on your skin, there may be various reasons for this. Every skin is different and reacts very individually to different fragrances.

    1. Fragrance does not last particularly well on dry skin. Use a scent neutral body lotion to ensure that the area of skin is well moisturized. This is even more important within the use of citrus fragrances.

    2. If your skin simply does not accept the fragrance oil well, you can also spray your favorite fragrance on your clothes. It is important that the clothing is made out of natural materials. For example, linen in summer and shearling or cotton in winter. This not only ensures a longer duration, but also intensifies the fragrance of some perfumes.

    3. Avoid purely citrus fragrances. Citrus notes last less longer on our skin than other oils. It is better to look for fragrances that also have a light woody scent component.

  • How long does a perfume last in the bottle?

    The lifespan of a perfume is not unlimited, if a perfume is stored incorrectly and exposed to environmental stimuli such as temperature, humidity and light, this will have a negative effect on your favorite fragrance. When stored optimally, our eau de parfums generally have a durability of 3-5 years. A fragrance can change over time, even if the perfume has not necessarily gone bad.

  • What is perfume layering?

    You can layer all of our fragrances and give them a very personal nuance. If you do the layering process, you spray several fragrances on top of each other. Have the courage and give it a try. A little practice and a willingness to experiment will definitely pay off. Our sets of 3 are perfect for anyone who loves layering. In 7.5ml and 15ml. Our store staff will also be happy to advise you on layering.

  • What is the difference between eau de parfum and eau de cologne?

    Eau de Cologne has a lower fragrance oil percentage than Eau de Parfum. Here is a short list:

    At 3-5%, eau de cologne has the lowest oil percentage and therefore also the shortest durability with 2-3 hours.
    Eau de Parfum, with an oil percentage of 10-15%, lasts around 4-6 hours.
    Eau de Parfum Intense has an oil percentage of over 20% and lasts 6-8 hours.

  • Where are the fragrances produced?

    Our handcrafted perfumes are sustainably produced in France, Switzerland and Berlin and contain certified organic raw materials. They are processed and bottled by hand in Berlin.

  • What are the ingredients of your fragrances?

    Our Eau de Parfums, Eau de Colognes and Homefragrances are formulated in different ways. You can find the ingredients of each product here.

  • Are the fragrances cruelty free?

    Yes! All of our Eau de Parfums and Eau de Colognes as well as our room fragrances and pillow sprays are cruelty free and manufactured according to the European standards.
