Clémentine25

At first spray, it would burst with juicy, zesty citrus: Bergamot gives a bright, slightly tart opening, while Clementine and Mandarin add sweet, peel‑like effervescence, and Pink Grapefruit layers in a juicy, slightly bitter sparkle.

As it settles, Neroli softens the citrus with a delicate, slightly honeyed, orange‑blossom‑like floralcy, making the blend feel airy and elegant rather than sharp. Mandarin here adds a soft, fruity‑floral nuance that keeps the scent luminous without becoming heavy.

Cedarwood anchors everything with a soft, warm, slightly smoky or pencilly woodiness that gives structure and longevity. The result is a scent that starts like a sparkling citrus‑laden cocktail and gently resolves into a clean, slightly powdery, wood‑kissed dry‑down, great for daytime wear or warmer weather.

I personally created it in Tijon Parfumerie in Charleston, SC on September 25, 2025. The addition of 25 to its name marks the day and year the perfume was made; a way of preserving the moment in time.  Clémentine25 will always remind me of the love, joy, and gratitude I felt in this creative space.

To experience the full character and longevity of your perfume, apply it with intention and care. Begin by spraying it onto clean, moisturized skin, as hydrated skin helps fragrance last longer.

Hold the bottle about 5–8 inches away and let the mist settle naturally; avoid rubbing the perfume into the skin, as it can alter the scent’s chemistry. 

Use sparingly: You only need 1-2 sprays of Eau de Parfum.  It will last 6-8 hours.

Store your perfume in a cool, dark and dry place to preserve its quality and stability.  When stored properly Eau de Parfum has a shelf life of 3-5 years.

Available in 1 size only.  The 15 ml Eau de Parfum edition comes in an elegant glass bottle (see picture).

It fits easily into handbags, pockets, or travel kits, making it convenient for frequent use and discreet reapplication throughout the day.  Its compact design minimizes risk of spillage and helps keep luggage organized.

We only sell Eau de Parfum!!!

Eau de Parfum (EDP) (15-20%)
Eau de Parfum balances strength with versatility. With 15-20% fragrance concentration, it projects well without being overpowering and typically lasts 6-8 hours. EDPs are popular for daily use and evening wear, as they capture the richness of a parfum but in a more approachable format.

(Pure) Parfum / Extrait de Parfum (20-40%)
The richest and most concentrated form of fragrance, parfum  - also called extrait or pure perfume  - contains the highest percentage of aromatic compounds. With a typical concentration of 20-40% perfume oils, it offers deep, complex character and long-lasting wear. Only a few dabs are needed, and the scent can linger on the skin for 8-12 hours or more. Parfum is prized for its intensity, elegance, and the way it develops slowly over time.

Eau de Toilette (EDT) (5-15%)
Eau de Toilette is lighter, fresher, and more radiant. Containing 5-15% aromatic oils, it usually lasts 4-6 hours and is often worn in warmer weather or for daytime use. EDTs tend to highlight the top and middle notes, creating a brighter impression compared to the deeper base of parfum and EDP.

Eau de Cologne (EDC) (2-6%)
Traditionally a refreshing citrus-based blend, Eau de Cologne today refers to a very light fragrance strength, with 2-6% concentration. It lasts around 2-3 hours, making it ideal for a quick, revitalizing splash throughout the day. Colognes are often associated with crispness, freshness, and casual wear.

Eau Fraîche (1-3%)
Even lighter than cologne, Eau Fraîche contains only 1-3% fragrance oils, diluted mostly in water. The result is an ultra-refreshing mist that lasts up to 2 hours. It’s perfect for a subtle veil of scent in hot climates or when only a gentle touch of fragrance is desired.

Always essential oils, never fragrance oils!

We only use essential oils in our products.  We never use the 60%-95% cheaper chemical fragrance oils you will find in a lot of products at other stores.

Origin
Essential oils come from plant parts like flowers, leaves, or bark via steam distillation or cold pressing, capturing the plant's natural essence.  Fragrance oils, however, are lab-created using synthetic chemicals, to replicate scents.​

Uses and Benefits
Essential oils suit aromatherapy due to therapeutic properties, like easing headaches with peppermint.  Fragrance oils excel in candles, and soaps for their strong, consistent throw and longevity under heat.  Although fragrance oils should not be used in skin care, a lot of (online) vendors do.

Essential Oils in Perfumes
Essential oils offer natural therapeutic benefits and authenticity in perfumes, providing aromatherapy effects like stress relief or mood enhancement that synthetic fragrance oils lack.  Essential oils contain active plant compounds that can deliver health benefits making perfumes multifunctional beyond mere scent.  Fragrance oils prioritize aroma without these bioactive elements.

Eco-Wise Packaging, Every Time!

The 15ml version comes in an elegant perfume bottle that unfortunately is factory sealed by Parfumerie Tijon with my perfume creation. ;-(  I am working with them to have this changed so the bottle can be reused.
