FAQ

ON-ik-ah. Onycha is a somewhat mysterious ancient fixative musk that is mentioned several ancient religious texts including the Bible and the Qur'an.

Made from shells of a sea mollusk, true Onycha is said to impart a very beautiful, deep, musky, slightly sweet, smoky and leathery character, pairing beautifully with resins and incense notes.

In ancient times Onycha was revered as a rare and exotic fragrance ingredient, reserved exclusively for ancient royalty and religious elite.

Skillfully crafted, high-quality fragrances age like fine wines, growing in beauty and depth throughout their lives. However, they must be properly stored, shielded from light and humidity and temperature fluctuations.

Storing your Onycha fragrances in the bathroom is NOT recommended, due to spiking temperature and humidity. We urge you to store your Onycha fragrance in a cool, dark, dry spot that doesn't experience fluctuations in temperature.

Storing your Onycha fragrance in its custom dark green box will shield it from light and, to a lesser degree, temperature fluctuations. Proper storage and care of your Onycha fragrance will ensure that it ages beautifully, improving over time.
