FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Most of our Eau de Parfums are formulated to last 6–10 hours on skin, though the honest answer is that it varies. Warm skin, oilier skin types, and pulse-point application all improve longevity - dry or cool skin tends to hold fragrance less readily.
Several of our formulas sit at 30% fragrance oil concentration - notably above the 15–20% typical of most commercial Eau De Parfums - which contributes to a deeper, longer-lasting character.
If longevity on your skin matters, we'd recommend starting with a 10ml before committing to a full bottle.
Yes — and we'd always suggest it.
We offer 10ml travel sizes across the full collection, or our Discovery Kit (5 × 2ml) is a popular way to explore the range before settling on a signature scent.
Fragrance is personal and can shift depending on your skin chemistry, so we'd rather you find the right one than rush into a bottle that doesn't feel like you.
Two things, primarily: concentration and ingredient quality.
Many high-street EDPs sit at 12–18% fragrance oil. Our formulas tend to sit higher, which means more depth, better longevity, and a closer-to-skin quality that reveals itself gradually rather than announcing everything at once.
We source raw materials from France, the Middle East, and Asia, and every fragrance is formulated and made in the UK.
They are original. Thomson Carter was built on the idea of creating genuinely distinctive, long-lasting scents - not recreating someone else's. Cashmere Court, for example, was developed in direct collaboration with artisanal perfumer Ilias Kakis, while Are You Vanilla? was developed with perfumer Stephanie Wilkinson.
If a scent reminds you of something you've worn before, that's the nature of shared fragrance families - but none of our fragrances are formulated to imitate an existing product.
If you're new to a particular scent, the 10ml is the natural entry point - same formula, same concentration, just a smaller bottle.
It typically delivers around 100–150 sprays: enough to confirm whether it's something you'll reach for regularly before moving to a 50ml or 100ml. If you already know you love a fragrance, the 100ml offers the best value per ml by some margin.
All our EDPs are composed in layers - top, heart, and base notes - which unfold in sequence.
The top notes you smell first are usually the brightest and most immediate, but they settle within 30–60 minutes. What follows is the heart and base of the fragrance: typically warmer, richer, and more personal, as it begins to interact with your skin chemistry.
This dry-down is often where a scent becomes truly your own. We'd suggest giving any new fragrance a couple of hours before forming a final opinion.
Pulse points - inner wrists, the base of the throat, behind the ears, the crook of the elbow - are your most effective spots. These areas generate warmth, which lifts and projects the fragrance throughout the day.
One thing worth knowing: avoid rubbing your wrists together after applying. It feels intuitive but it degrades the top notes and shortens wear time. A light mist on the chest or the back of the neck, before dressing, works particularly well - fabric holds scent longer than skin alone.
Yes - it's the same formula and the same concentration across all sizes. The only difference is volume.
There's a common misconception that travel sizes are a diluted version; that's not the case here. The 10ml is a fully accurate representation of the full-size experience.
Most of the collection is genuinely unisex - Santal Oud, Cashmere Court, Bois De Santal, Postcards From, Redroom, and the Are You Vanilla? range all wear comfortably across genders.
We indicate where a scent has a more directional character - Smoke & Mirrors sits firmly in a masculine register; Lilium Blume and Rouge Avenue lean feminine - but these are signposts, not rules.
Wear what resonates. If you're unsure where to start, the Fragrance Finder on the site is a useful guide, or reach out directly and we'll point you somewhere that suits your taste.
Yes. Every Thomson Carter Eau de Parfum is formulated using 100% vegan, cruelty-free fragrance oils. No animal-derived ingredients, no animal testing - at any stage of development or production.
We offer a 30-day return window. Unopened, undamaged products qualify for a full refund. Given how personal fragrance is, we'd always recommend starting with a sample or the 10ml first - it removes most of the risk before you commit to a larger size. If something arrives damaged or not as described, get in touch and we'll make it right.
I was seated next to a young man on a train in Ireland. I had to ask him what he was wearing, (without seeming like a creeper). He laughed and said his mother had done the same thing. He told me she had gotten him this sample pack & he chose his favorite. So, that’s what I did for my son!
This perfume is honestly a 10/10 — absolutely no deductions. The scent is unbelievably elegant, soft, and luxurious. The moment I put it on, I instantly feel beautiful, confident, and feminine.
And the best part? Everyone around me keeps saying how amazing and delicate it smells. It’s the kind of fragrance that leaves a lasting impression without being overpowering. Truly one of the most gorgeous perfumes I’ve ever worn 💚
Amazing scents and myself and my husband have now found our favourite brand. I even got two free samples with the discovery set which makes it excellent value for money.
The scents are so unique and stand out in their own right.
My husband loves these scents and can’t decide which one to get a full size bottle of because they are all so nice. You won’t regret buying this product - they soon become an addiction
I tested all samples except lilium blume (female)but you can smell the test samples its verry good but all others samples are male or unisex ,smoke and mirrors ,shelby lane,Bois de santal,Red room and postcards from are great 👌🏽 In their own way everyone test samples smells good, But what smells good with you doesn't mean that it smells just as good on others and vice versa And the smell of the eau de parfum lingers for a long time👌🏽
When I recieved my Order I was so happy to see the sample sprays and might I say the are Wonderful and I get many compliments on them especially the Lillium Bloom, I will be ordering more Ty so so much Love Them ❤️
I was not sure which scent I would love; I got the fragrance discovery kit. I was worried that the kit would have small samples of scents to try but, this is not true.
I am happy with all the scents and can't figure out which one I like more. Once I find that out, I will return to the website and order a large size.
After purchasing the discovery kit I fell in love with Smoke and Mirrors. Most of the sense are very nice but for me it’s Smoke and Mirrors. When I ordered the full size bottle it also came with a matching body wash that is not only great smelling but also one of the best quality soaps I’ve ever used. Good move Tompson Carter lol. I will now be a long term customer ordering body soap on a regular basis. Although it will still be a while as this soap a little goes a long way. It leaves your skin feeling great. My normal soap leaves my skin a bit dry but with Tompson Carters soap it feels moisturized and silky.
Love the Doscovery Kit as its a great way to try them out before buying a bigger bottle.
The packaging is wonderful and included a scent pillow and a cloth bag with 2 free samples of choice too. Wonderful company. Will definitely be ordering more.
I haven't tried all my Kit yet but so far i love Bois De Santal...first spray and gave me a quick flash of a memory...made me feel good. Perfume isn't just for best. Its to make you feel good all of the time.
I love the samples sizes because I need them for traveling and I had a chance to smell the different ones for the full size bottle on my next purchase. I look forward to my next purchase.
I ordered the sample kit, expecting them to come in a padded envelope but they were well packed in a box, with tissue paper and a lovely little cushion. The samples themselves were in a lovely gift box. I have only tried the Lilian Blume so far & I love it. I will definitely be ordering a bottle very soon. I will be recommending it to all my friends too
Love the smell of all the scents in the discovery kit , but recieved a sample of LILIUM BLUME but the spray does not work so would like a sample to try or can you take the top off off of another bottle
Many thanks N.Davis
I am in love with this brand of perfume everything comes beautifully packaged and the scent stays on all day and I get so many compliments I have a found a scent I did not like I think one of my favorites is are you vanilla night
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I received my first perfume from Thomson Carter, and WOW… just WOW! I am officially obsessed. From the moment I opened the package, I was blown away. The packaging was exquisite — honestly more than I expected.
Inside was a thank-you card, a beautiful jewelry bag, and even a high-end fashion jewelry cushion (perfect for placing my watch or jewelry). Such a classy and thoughtful touch!
I purchased the Rouge Avenue Eau de Parfum and received a free gift — the Rouge Avenue body wash, which was an amazing bonus. One spritz of the perfume and you can instantly tell this is more than just a fragrance. It’s luxurious, elegant, and absolutely captivating.
This fragrance truly wowed me. I am loving everything about this brand and would 100% recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful, high-end fragrance experience.
✨ Luxury. Quality. Excellence.
Highly recommended
I think it's a really good idea to have a demo set. Not all fragrances smell the same on everyone and people's preferences vary. I particularly like Lilium bloom and Redroom. But there's 6 to choose from In total. There's bound to be at least 1 you like.
