FAQ
What is dopaMe?
dopaMe is fragrance built around feelings.
Instead of starting with a list of traditional fragrance notes, I start with a feeling, memory, or sensory experience and translate it into scent.
With dopaMe, I’m trying to give you that next little hit of dopamine.
How do I use dopaMe safely?
dopaMe fragrances are made for external use only. Avoid contact with your eyes, mouth, and other sensitive areas. Do not ingest fragrance.
Apply perfume to intact skin and discontinue use if irritation occurs. If you have known fragrance sensitivities or allergies, review the ingredient information for your chosen fragrance before use.
Keep your fragrance away from heat and direct sunlight, and store it somewhere cool and dark.
Please keep fragrance products out of reach of children and pets.
What concentration are your perfumes?
Each dopaMe Eau de Parfum is evaluated for performance, scent profile, and accuracy to the “feeling.” Each fragrance may vary in fragrance concentration from approximately 15–20%.
How long do your fragrances last?
I formulate dopaMe fragrances with sensory sensitivities in mind. dopaMe is intentionally created with a softer opening and a more intimate presence on the skin.
Longevity varies from person to person and with your own skin chemistry. Application, environment, and the individual scent all affect how long you experience each fragrance.
How should I apply my fragrance?
I recommend applying dopaMe to pulse points such as your wrists, neck, and behind your ears. Give the fragrance a moment to settle into your skin rather than rubbing it in.
For a softer, more intimate experience, start with a few sprays and add more as needed. You can also spray lightly onto clothing, keeping delicate fabrics in mind.
There’s no wrong way to wear fragrance. Apply it where you enjoy experiencing it most!
What is Aura Priming Oil?
Aura is a lightweight fragrance primer made with jojoba oil. It's made with large molecule musk materials that change with your skin's natural chemistry! Leaving you with your own signature aura.
Jojoba has a silky, lightweight feel on the skin, making it a beautiful base for fragrance without leaving you feeling heavily coated in oil. I chose jojoba because I wanted Aura to feel comfortable and easy to wear while giving fragrance a moisturized surface to develop on.
Apply Aura to your pulse points before your dopaMe fragrance. Let it settle for a moment, then apply your perfume over it.
You can also wear Aura on its own for a softer, more subtle scent.
Think of Aura as the first step in your fragrance ritual.
Are your perfumes handmade?
dopaMe Parfum is handcrafted in small batches using a combination of natural materials and aroma chemicals. All dopaMe fragrances are created and blended in Pennsylvania.
Are dopaMe fragrances vegan & cruelty-free?
Yes. dopaMe fragrances are vegan. dopaMe's finished fragrances are never tested on animals.
Are your fragrances rested and matured before shipping?
Yes. All of my fragrances are left to rest in a cool, dark environment for 4–8 weeks before shipping, depending on the formulation.
