COCKTAIL PERFUME

  • A cocktail perfume is to olfaction what bitters are to gustation.

    A bridge between Mixology & Perfumery, it reimagines the relationship between taste & scent. A cocktail perfume elevates the sensory experience of your creations by bridging the olfactive dimension of mixology.

  • Shake well before each use

    Hold bottle 4-6 inches away from the desired surface

    Apply 1-2 sprays to the desired surface

    To extend the aroma, spray the glass or garnishes such as dried orange slices.

  • Alcohol

    Natural & Artificial Flavors (Propylene Glycol, Alcohol, Flavors)

    Essential Oils

    Vitamin E acetate

  • Yes. We maintain high FDA standards and take great care in qualifying our suppliers to ensure product safety.

  • Shelf-Life: 3 years unopened. Once starting to use, we recommend 2 years for best quality. For extended shelf-life we recommend storing in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

  • No, our cocktail perfumes are not currently certified kosher. While many of our ingredients are naturally kosher-compliant, we have not undergone the formal certification process with any kosher certifying agency.

  • Yes, they have been self-declared as vegan. The determination of vegan status for our products is made internally through self-declaration, a standard practice within the food and beverage industry. TAVMA conducts a thorough review of documentation and certificates of analysis provided by each of our ingredient suppliers for every raw material utilized in our batch production process.

  • No, they contain alcohol and should not be taken during pregnancy due to risks of birth defects nor when breastfeeding.

  • Our cocktail perfumes contain 88 to 90% ABV alcohol. The high ethanol concentration eliminates the need for synthetic surfactants, which would be required at lower alcohol concentrations to maintain essential oil dispersion and formula stability. This allows for a more natural formulation while ensuring optimal product performance.

  • No. Cocktail perfumes do not contain any of the FDA’s allergens (milk, egg, fish, shellfish, tree nut, peanut, wheat, soybean, sesame).

  • While we maintain strict quality control and consistency in our formulations, cocktail perfumes are similar to fine wines in that subtle sensorial variations can exist between batches. Many of our ingredients - particularly essential oils - are derived from natural, living materials subject to environmental influences.

    Each harvest of botanicals may present slight nuances in aroma profile due to: seasonal weather variations, growing conditions, harvest timing and natural evolution of plant compounds.

    These subtle differences don't affect quality or performance but rather reflect the authentic nature of our ingredients. Connoisseurs might even appreciate these nuances as a testament to the genuine character of our natural components, similar to how vintages of fine spirits develop their own distinctive character.

    Rest assured that while these variations may exist, every cocktail perfume bottle undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it meets our exacting standards for aromatic quality and performance.

  • For best results, spray the glass or garnishes (such as dried orange slices) to extend the aroma.

  • It will transcend your experience. While taste buds on the tongue detect basic tastes, the majority of flavor perception comes from smell signals reaching the brain alongside taste information, effectively creating the "flavor" of food; therefore, a significant part of what we perceive as taste is actually influenced by our sense of smell.

  • For extended shelf-life we recommend storing in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. No refrigeration needed.

  • Absolutely. Use it to create experiences: elevate a salad, complement a Darjeeling tea, or smoke a coffee. The sky is the limit.
