What makes your Fine Fragrance Collection different?
Our Fine Fragrance Collection is built from raw perfumery materials, including naturals and aroma molecules, and created from the ground up in our studio. These are not pre-made stock fragrance oils simply poured into bottles. Each scent begins as an original idea, then goes through formulation, testing, adjusting, resting, and refinement before it is ever released.
This collection is a more elevated chapter for Heaven Scent by Shannon, created for customers who love fragrance as an experience — not just something that smells good in the bottle, but something that unfolds beautifully on the skin.
Why is the Fine Fragrance Collection priced differently?
The pricing of this collection reflects the care behind every bottle — from the higher fragrance concentration and raw perfumery materials to the extended testing, resting, blending, and small-batch production process. Each fragrance is created slowly and intentionally, with attention to how it opens, settles, wears, and evolves on the skin.
Because these fragrances are created from individual perfumery materials rather than pre-made stock oils, they require more time, more testing, and more refinement before they are ready to release.
Are these made with stock fragrance oils?
The Fine Fragrance Collection is handcrafted from raw perfumery materials only — naturals and aroma molecules — rather than pre-made stock fragrance oils.
You may still see the words “fragrance,” “parfum,” or “fragrance oil” used on ingredient labels because that is standard labeling language for the aromatic portion of a perfume. In this collection, that aromatic portion is created by us from individual perfumery materials.
Do your raw fragrances contain dyes or extra additives?
We keep this collection focused on the fragrance itself. Our raw fragrances are made without added dyes, sulfates, phthalates, or unnecessary extras that do not belong in the formula.
Instead of relying on colorants or filler ingredients, we put the attention where it matters most: the scent composition, the way it wears, and the way each fragrance develops from the first spray to the final dry down.
Why do raw fragrances need time to rest?
Perfumes made from raw materials often need time to fully come together after blending. This resting period allows the materials to soften, smooth out, and blend into a more cohesive fragrance.
As the fragrance rests, the scent can become more rounded, polished, and balanced. Our Fine Fragrances will be fully macerated before you receive them. Some perfumes may even continue to deepen and develop beautifully after you receive them.
What does Extrait de Parfum mean?
Extrait de Parfum refers to a higher fragrance concentration than many traditional perfume sprays. This gives the scent a richer, more luxurious feel and allows it to wear beautifully on the skin.
Because these are more concentrated, a little goes a long way. They are designed to be worn intentionally and enjoyed as they unfold throughout the day.
Our extrait de parfum is a richly concentrated spray fragrance created for long-lasting wear, depth, and a fuller scent experience on the skin. While extraits are often associated with higher parfum oil percentages, fragrance concentration is not one-size-fits-all. Every scent has its own structure, strength, and balance point. Some fragrances can beautifully support a higher oil load, while others become too loud, sharp, heavy, or overly chemical when pushed too far. That’s why a scent that smells gorgeous as an oil at 35–40% can sometimes feel too loud, sharp, or unbalanced as an alcohol spray at the same level. For that reason, each HSBS extrait is formulated with the highest level of parfum oil that the individual scent can beautifully and safely hold while still maintaining its intended character. Our goal is not simply to use the biggest percentage possible, but to create a fragrance that smells smooth, balanced, wearable, and beautiful from first spray to dry down.
Are these small batch?
Yes. Our Fine Fragrance Collection is produced in small batches so we can maintain quality, consistency, and attention to detail.
Small-batch production allows us to give each fragrance the care it deserves, from blending and resting to bottling and packaging.
Are these handmade?
Yes. Each fragrance is handcrafted in our studio by Shannon, from formulation to blending to bottling. This collection represents a slower, more intentional approach to fragrance-making — one that values creativity, detail, and the beauty of true perfumery.
Final statement
Our Fine Fragrance Collection is handcrafted from 100% raw perfumery materials — naturals and aroma molecules — built from the ground up in our studio and created with intention, patience, and artistry. Never a pre-made stock oil. Ever.
