Damascus

Damascus is deep, smoky and quietly powerful. It opens with a resinous glow of frankincense, moving into smooth suede, soft iris, warm tonka and polished sandalwood. The scent feels dry, textured and refined, with a smouldering warmth that stays close to the skin rather than shouting across the room.

Made for the man who prefers controlled depth over obvious freshness. Damascus gives the impression of calm authority, dark clothing, late evenings and quiet confidence. It is serious, composed and textured, the kind of oil that feels personal, mature and quietly unforgettable.

PERFUME OIL

A closer way to wear fragrance.

Unlike an Extrait designed to project into the space around you, perfume oil sits closer to the skin for a more intimate scent experience. Apply it directly to pulse points where body warmth can gently release the fragrance throughout the day.

EXTRAIT Projection & presence Designed to leave a more noticeable scent around you.
PERFUME OIL Close & intimate A more personal scent that stays closer to the wearer.
01

Start With Skin

Apply to clean, dry skin. If you have sensitive skin, patch test a small area first.

02

Apply To Pulse Points

Use a small amount on warm areas such as the wrists, sides of the neck or inner elbows. You do not need much.

03

Gently Work Into Skin

Gently spread or massage the oil into your pulse points. Allow it to absorb into the skin before dressing.

04

Wear It Close

Perfume oil is designed to create a closer scent experience. Rather than filling the room, it is most noticeable to you and those who come closer.

IMPORTANT

Apply perfume oil to skin, not fabric.

Perfume oils can leave marks on clothing, particularly light coloured or delicate fabrics. Apply directly to your skin and allow the oil to absorb before getting dressed.

Do

  • Do Patch test first, particularly if you have sensitive skin
  • Do Apply directly to clean, dry skin
  • Do Focus on warm pulse points
  • Do Gently spread or massage the oil into the skin
  • Do Start with a small amount and add more only if needed

Do Not

  • Do not Apply directly to clothing or fabric
  • Do not Overapply. A little perfume oil goes a long way
  • Do not Apply to irritated, broken or freshly shaved skin
  • Do not Dress immediately before allowing the oil to absorb

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before choosing EMIHR.

Why haven’t I heard of EMIHR in the wider niche fragrance community before?

Because we're a new independent fragrance house.

EMIHR Essence is still in its early stages, so we haven't had years of hype, influencer campaigns or department store exposure behind us.

Instead, we've focused on creating exceptional Extrait de Parfum, premium presentation and a customer experience that encourages people to come back.

Why don't EMIHR fragrances have a £300+ luxury price tag?

The saving is in the markup, not the fragrance.

We invest in high concentration formulations, quality raw materials and luxury presentation. What we don't pay for are celebrity endorsements, department store shelf space or huge retail markups.

You experience the fragrance, not the overheads.

What is the difference between EMIHR and cheap dupes?

Many lower-priced alternatives may compromise on fragrance concentration, ingredient quality, presentation or the overall wearing experience to keep the price as low as possible.

EMIHR takes a different approach. We invest in high concentration Extrait de Parfum, quality ingredients, premium presentation and the overall ownership experience.

We focus on delivering exceptional value rather than simply being the cheapest option.

What is the difference between EMIHR and designer fragrances?

Designer fragrances often carry costs that extend far beyond the fragrance itself, from global advertising campaigns and celebrity endorsements to department store distribution and retail overheads.

EMIHR is an independent fragrance house with a much simpler model. We focus our investment where you experience it: high concentration Extrait de Parfum, quality ingredients, strong performance and premium presentation.

The difference isn't about trying to imitate a designer label for less. It's about offering a genuinely premium fragrance experience without asking you to pay for the name on the bottle.

Why are EMIHR fragrances 30% Extrait de Parfum?

Because concentration matters.

Every EMIHR fragrance is produced at approximately 30% concentration to deliver a richer, deeper and longer-lasting wearing experience.

Why is the Discovery Set only £10?

Because we'd rather let the fragrance do the selling.

Choose any four 2ml Extrait de Parfum samples and experience EMIHR before committing to a full bottle.

You'll also receive £10 credit towards your first 100ml bottle, effectively making your Discovery Set free when you upgrade.

Why do you include a free 2ml tester with 100ml bottles?

So you can buy with confidence.

Every 100ml bottle includes a matching 2ml tester. Try the sample first. If it isn't for you, simply keep the full-size bottle sealed and return it in accordance with our returns policy.

Are EMIHR 100ml bottles gift-ready?

Yes.

Every 100ml Extrait de Parfum arrives in our premium presentation box together with a protective leather travel pouch, making it ideal for gifting straight out of the box.
