Key Benefits

• Signature luxe fragrance: With its rich florals and woody-amber base, it gives a sense of luxury and timeless elegance — fitting if you treat fragrance as a lifestyle accessory.

• Strong presence: The combination of red roses, honey and sandalwood gives it a bold yet sophisticated character, which may help you stand out (important given your content/brand work).

• Versatile for dress-up occasions: While it can be worn day or evening, the richness of the scent gives it particular strength for evening wear, special occasions or when you want to make an impression.

• Brand-heritage piece: Since you appreciate high-quality brand aesthetics (as seen with your work with Sedell Paris and curated brand visuals), this fragrance aligns with a legacy, respectable brand and offers a ‘classic’ fragrance statement.

• Complements visual branding: Fragrance is a subtle but powerful part of lifestyle branding. Using a scent like Red Door can become part of your “signature” look — especially if you do travel, content creation, brand shoots etc.

How to Use

1. Apply to pulse points: Spritz the fragrance on areas such as the wrists, neck (either side), behind the ears, and perhaps on the collarbone. The brand instruction: “Gently spray on pulse points at the neck, behind the ears and wrists.” 

2. Distance: Hold the bottle about 10-15 cm away from skin/clothes for an even mist.

3. Clothing/hair: You can also spritz lightly on clothing (or hair) if you want the scent to linger in your environment; however, test first if it stains or affects fabric.

4. Layering: If you have the matching Red Door body lotion or other body-product in the same scent, layering can give longer longevity and stronger presence.

5. Touch-up/refresh: For long days (travel, shoots, studio work), carry a small travel atomiser of the fragrance for discreet re-application.

6. Storage: Keep the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat (important for preserving scent integrity, especially with travel and India climate).

7. When to wear: Because of its richness, this is especially suitable for evening, formal events, or when you want that “polished fragrance presence”. But it can also be used during day when you want a signature scent that stands out.
