MUST READ - Why the low prices

Selare offers luxury fragrance experiences without the traditional retail markup. By focusing on exceptional scent quality, premium ingredients, and refined presentation rather than inflated boutique pricing, we’re able to deliver iconic fragrance profiles at far greater value. What you’re paying for is the fragrance experience itself — not the overhead of luxury storefronts, excessive branding costs, or unnecessary markups.

Description
Henri Frapin likes to relax on these springtime Sundays in the garden...His favourite time is when his son joins him at around 11am when the sun’s rays warm up this headland of forest above Segonzac. The chessboard stands ready. His son sits and wordlessly resumes this metaphorical battle, the togetherness with his father in the pleasures of the game.The spring breeze brings with it the refreshing fragrances of the surrounding groves. The sun warms the citrus fruits which ripen in the terracotta pot on the table while the iris and heliotropes which line the path leading to the perron discard their coverings of dew and open up to fill the air with their scents. Henri serves his son his traditional cardamom tea, a spice which shares its origins with this age-old game. Both players strive to checkmate the other while at the same time putting off the moment with a view to prolonging these special moments, this bridge between two generations, this connection of fatherly love which will bond them together forever.

The cognac house was established in the heart of Grand Champagne in the region of Chateau de Fontpinot in 1270. It has remained the family business for 20 generations, and today owners of Frapin are Genevieve Frapin and her husband, Max Cointreau. Their daughter Beatrice Cointreau introduced Frapin fragrance line in 2002, with their first perfume ‘1270’ named after the year when the cognac house was founded.

Fragrance Guidance

How do I choose the right fragrance?

Start with the note families you're naturally drawn to. The main families are:

Floral— soft, romantic, feminine.
Woody / Oud— deep, warm, long-lasting.
Fresh / Citrus— clean, light, ideal for daytime.
Oriental / Amber— rich, sensual, complex.
Gourmand— sweet, comforting, distinctive.

What's the difference between EDP, EDT, and Parfum?

These terms refer to the concentration of fragrance oil in the formula:

Parfum / Extrait: 20–40% — the most intense and longest-lasting.
Eau de Parfum (EDP): 15–20% — rich, long-lasting, ideal for everyday wear.
Eau de Toilette (EDT): 5–15% — lighter, fresher, great for daytime or warmer weather.

How long do your fragrances last on skin?

Longevity varies by concentration and skin type.

As a general guide — EDP: 6–10 hours, EDT: 4–6 hours, Parfum: 10+ hours.

Applying to pulse points (wrists, neck, behind the ears) and to moisturised skin will maximise the wear of any fragrance.

MUST READ - What does 'UA Approved' mean?

UA Approved stands for Unauthorized Authentic — items manufactured in the same factories, using the same ingredients, materials and production standards as the retail versions sold in brand boutiques.

They are the same physical product, produced to the same specification, without the brand's retail premium attached. The only difference is the price.

How does the quality compare to what's sold in boutiques?

The quality is uncompromising — the same attention to detail, premium ingredients, and refined craftsmanship expected from the world’s most iconic fragrances. From the richness of the oils to the depth, longevity, and overall scent experience, every bottle is selected to deliver a luxury fragrance experience without the traditional retail markup. When you shop with Selare, you’re choosing sophistication, performance, and timeless scent profiles at exceptional value.

Why are prices so much lower than retail?

Retail luxury prices include an average 10–20× markup over manufacturing cost. That markup covers boutique rent, global marketing budgets, brand licensing fees, and multiple layers of distribution intermediaries.

Selaré sources directly from the factories — removing every layer of overhead. You pay for what the object actually costs to make, not what it costs to maintain a brand's global retail infrastructure.

Do items come with original packaging and accessories?

Yes. Every Selare order is presented with the same premium attention to detail expected from a luxury fragrance experience. Your fragrance arrives beautifully packaged, making the unboxing feel refined, elevated, and gift-worthy from the moment it arrives. From presentation to first spray, the experience is designed to feel every bit as luxurious as the scent itself.

Your financial details are never stored on our servers. Every transaction is handled by your chosen payment provider under their full security protocols.

Yes — we ship to most countries worldwide. Orders are dispatched within 1–5 business days and tracked from the moment they leave our facility.

Shipping costs and estimated delivery times are calculated at checkout based on your location. For high-value orders, discreet packaging and signature-on-delivery are applied as standard.
