Care & Storage

A perfume is a small chemistry experiment. Treat it accordingly.

Where to keep it

Upright, away from direct sunlight, away from heat. A drawer or an interior shelf is ideal. A bathroom is not — the temperature swings and humidity will degrade the composition over time.

How long it lasts

Properly stored, a Keive composition holds its character for three to five years. Some — Tabac & Iris, Sel & Bois — improve in the first year as the resins settle.

How to apply

On the warm parts of the body: pulse at the wrist, behind the ear, the hollow of the throat. Spray once or twice. Do not rub — the friction breaks the top notes apart.

The refill promise

Bring an empty Keive bottle back to our Lagos studio and we will refill it at 30% off the retail price. Reuse is the better part of luxury.
