Operations
This website and the products sold here are created by Aftelier Perfumes, 1518 Walnut St., Berkeley, CA 94709. (510) 841-2111. [email protected]. We sell our products on our website and do not have a retail store. We are a working studio and not open to the public. We are not a bulk supplier of essential oils, absolutes or isolates, and do not provide MSDS or COA documents.

Privacy Policy
Your privacy is critical to us! We do not sell, trade, or otherwise share your personal information, such as name, email address, physical address, phone numbers, buying history, etc. Your information stays here. You do not have to worry about receiving unsolicited email from other companies or individuals as a result of shopping, except for tracking information thru FedEx, USPS, or UPS.

Ingredients
We make our products with 100% pure & natural ingredients: essential oils (sustainable & wildcrafted when possible), absolutes, CO2 extractions, isolates (derived from essential oil fractions), various carrier oils, alcohol, and beeswax. We do not use any synthetics, fragrance oils, phthalates, parabens, glycols, or petrochemicals. Our perfumes and face & body oils are NOT for consumption. Our products are cruelty-free: we do not test our products on animals, and any animal essences that we use are either sustainably harvested or antique.

Chef's Essences Flavor Drops - Storage and Shipping
The citrus oils (bergamot, grapefruit, lime, orange) should be kept in the refrigerator to preserve their flavor for a year. All other essences will keep two years at room temperature. Our Chef's Essences are shipped from a food-grade bottler in Virginia (all our other products are shipped from Berkeley, CA). We are not a bulk supplier and do not provide MSDS or COA documents.

Shipping
During the checkout process, we list your shipping options and costs, which depend on your location and order contents. We ship your order within 2 business days from receipt. For international orders, you may need to pay customs duties or other taxes & fees, and we do not handle any of these on our end. We declare the full value on all customs forms.

Returns
All sales are final. For product safety reasons we cannot accept returns or exchanges. We encourage you to try our tiny samples before buying larger sizes. We indicate the various sample sizes in their descriptions, but please note that they do not always fill the sample bottle, e.g. the 1/4 ml perfume sample comes in a 1/2 ml bottle.

Safety
The user is solely responsible for the safe use of our products. We assume no responsibility or liability for any claims arising out of the use or misuse of our products. Please keep our products out of the reach of children. If you are pregnant or nursing, have heart disease, epilepsy, high blood pressure, diabetes, or any other medical condition that can be affected by essential oils or fragrances, please seek the advice of a health professional before using our products. We recommend testing our perfumes on a small area of skin to check for any possible allergic reactions. Apply a small amount to the skin on your inner arm. If redness, burning, itching or irritation occurs, stop using product immediately and wash with soap and water to clean the affected area.
