Altruist

If your perfume bottle arrives damaged or the spray mechanism is defective, we’ll gladly replace it or issue a refund.

Otherwise, returns are accepted within 10 days of delivery, as long as the item is unopened, sealed, and in perfect condition.

Samples and decants, due to their nature, are final sale.

Quebec & Ontario: usually 2-3 business days.
Rest of Canada: usually 3-7 business days.

We ship from Montreal, with a tracking number.

All our perfumes comply with the strict safety standards set by the International Fragrance Association (IFRA). While reactions are rare, if you have sensitive skin or allergies, we recommend starting with a 1ml sample to ensure compatibility.

Perfume is alive. It reacts to your skin, your warmth, the air around you — even your mood.

It unfolds in stages:
The top notes are bright and fleeting — they vanish within minutes.
Heart notes follow, more expressive and personal.
Then come the base notes, deeper and lasting, often present hours later… even the next day.

Yes — it’s a natural reaction called olfactory fatigue.

Your sense of smell “filters out” familiar scents to avoid sensory overload. As a result, your fragrance may seem to vanish… but it’s still there, often noticed by those around you.
