Do you have a physical store where I can test your perfumes?

How was the idea for Scents of Khayal born?
Scents of Khayal was created from a genuine passion for fragrances shared by my partner and me. For us, perfume has always been more than just a scent—it's an art form, a way to express emotions, evoke memories, and showcase individuality.
We have always had a strong appreciation for perfumes, fragrance notes, and unique scent combinations. Over the years, we experimented with fragrances and created layering blends that caught the attention of friends and family. What started as a personal passion grew into something bigger—a desire to share our creative vision of scent with others.
The idea for Scents of Khayal developed naturally. We wanted to create a perfume house where quality and creativity take center stage. Our goal is to offer unique fragrances that stand out.
This is more than just a business for us—it's our creative journey, our passion, and our way of sharing our unique fragrances with you.

How long does it take to create a perfume?
The time required to develop a perfume varies, ranging from a few weeks to several months. Perfume creation involves much more than just blending ingredients.
We start with an extensive development process where we test and adjust the scent until we achieve the perfect balance. Once finalized, the perfume undergoes a maturation period to allow the notes to settle. Afterward, we test it again to ensure it meets our high-quality standards and aligns with our original vision.
What is Extrait de Parfum?
Extrait de Parfum is the most concentrated form of perfume, containing up to 30% fragrance oil, which results in a rich and long-lasting scent.
All Scents of Khayal perfumes contain at least 30% fragrance oil, ensuring a luxurious and long-lasting fragrance experience.
How long does the scent last on the skin?
All our perfumes are Extrait de Parfum, meaning they contain at least 30% fragrance oil and provide a scent that lasts for 12 hours or longer on the skin and even longer on clothing.
However, the longevity of a scent can also be affected by your skin's pH level. If you feel that your perfume fades too quickly, try moisturizing your skin before applying the fragrance and also spray it on clothing for longer wear.
If you suspect the scent has disappeared, ask someone else to smell it—your nose might have simply adjusted to it!
How much perfume should I apply?
The amount of perfume to apply depends on how strong you want the scent to be. Here are some recommendations:
• For a subtle scent: Spray 1-2 times on pulse points (wrists, behind the ears, or on the neck). Ideal for a light, everyday fragrance.
• For a balanced scent: Spray 3-4 times on pulse points and optionally on clothing for a more noticeable but not overpowering fragrance.
• For an intense scent: Spray 5-8 times on pulse points and lightly on clothing. Be mindful that strong scents can be overwhelming for others.
How do I find the right scent for me?
We recommend starting by reading our fragrance descriptions and choosing notes that appeal to you (e.g., vanilla, citrus, spicy).
If you're unsure, you can order samples to test the scent before purchasing a full-size bottle and filter among the perfumes what notes you like.
