About the guides

Who writes them, how often they change, and what to do when one does not answer your question.

The Scent n Blush team in Karachi, the same people who check batch codes and pack the orders. Wear times come from wearing the bottles ourselves through Karachi summers and winters, not from the brand’s marketing copy.
Whenever the catalog, a price or our opinion changes. Every guide shows its last-updated date under the title, and product strips inside the guides read live prices and stock from the shop.
