FAQs
What are Possets?
A “posset” is an archaic English term which originally meant a sweet smelling drink or palliative which was concocted only to make you feel better, but not to cure anything. Later it came to mean something you treated yourself to, a small personal indulgence. It rhymes with “cosset” because the two words could be used interchangeably. But, alas, the word “posset” fell out of fashion, until now.
Possets are perfumes made to be pure pleasure, without worrying about the rules or what you “should” have in them. We often find commercial perfumes to be sharp and medicinal, barely hinting at the more beautiful parts rather than presenting unabashed loveliness without limit. We want compositions which are not ashamed to be beautiful, unusual, and even witty.
Possets Perfume specializes in is superbly blended perfumes with an edge of gorgeous originality. Some of the ingredients we use are unexpected, some are classics of the art, some combinations are a surprise, and some are new twists on old favorites. We adore creativity and know that you do too!
Cambienne, what is that?
Cambienne ™ is THE innovative perfume which you can only find at Possets. It is a perfume which we start every year to smell like late winter. However, as the year progresses Cambienne ™ changes. We add things to Cambienne ™ which changes the scent and it gets sunnier, warmer, greener, more floral as the year progresses! So in June, if you bought a bottle of Cambienne ™ it would be very flowery. If you bought a bottle in October, it would be more apple like and smelling of fallen leaves. So we make Cambienne ™ fit in with different times of the year and no two bottles are ever the same. We may very well mix in things which reflect the holidays as they occur, or things which go on in our fair city. It’s great fun and it’s totally unique to Possets.

What kind of packaging do you use with Possets?
We are sticklers for practicality. We believe that your dollar should go to perfume, not packaging. Therefore we use plain pharmaceutical/aromatherapy bottles for our scents. They are 6ml, 10ml, 15ml and 30ml in size. They have black caps which are the most leak proof available.

Yes, if you are dissatisfied with a Posset you have bought (6ml or larger) then return it to us and we will refund your money or send you another one of your choosing. We want you to be happy!
