I chanced upon this brand on Instagram and was pretty captivated by their story - mainly using the best ingredients in perfumery. I bought some (Rose and Cashmeran velvet), and I absolutely loved it.... See more

Bringing together five of the most celebrated master perfumers, we asked each one to dream big and awaken their imagination without rules or limitations. No brief or budget - just creativity at its best. The result of ripping up the rule book is Ostens – our debut collection of six carefully crafted Eau de Parfums each one inspired by a single raw ingredient. From the natural Rose Isparta to the discovery of molecule Cashmeran Velvet, each fragrance is an authentic expression of talent and creativity unleashed, ingredients in their purest form, combining provenance and beauty for you to discover and fall in love with.

Lovely and long-lasting
I bought the Ostens Discovery set after reading good reviews, and I was curious to find out more. The 6 fragrances are beautifully packaged, like little books on a shelf, and are in spray form, which I like. They are quite intense so only need a small spray, but last for quite a while. Whilst all of the perfumes in the range are lovely, the one I have used most is the Jasmine Absolute. Other people have commented on how lovely it is, so I guess I might save up and invest in the full-size bottle or ask for it for my birthday.

The scents all smelt good but have no longevity at all which is disappointing- if they where stronger I would buy again, but not in their current strength

Hi Carolyn,
Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback on the scents. We really appreciate this as it allows us to improve and evolve as time goes on, and to really involve our community in the process. Perfume is definitely a very personal process and experience, and sometimes scents last a bit longer on others’ skin than on ones’ own skin. We’d definitely suggest using a base oil, such as the preparation oils in our full sizes (which come as a complimentary gift with each full size eau de parfum chez Ostens), which really allows the fragrance to stick to the skin and evolve over time on ones’ pulse points. Please feel free to send us an email at hello@ostens.com if you have any further questions—our customer care representatives are always happy to help out.
Best regards,
Ostens team.

A great discovery!
packaged well and had that personal touch. It was great to be able to order the Discovery collection to sample the scents. Not all are for me but that was the point of ordering the selection.

I think the delivery was within a week which was alright. The actual perfumes I found to be not particularly pleasant and not long lasting. I am glad that I have only wasted the price of the samples and didn’t take a chance on a full size bottle as that would have been a very expensive mistake.
