What is EILLON?

EILLON is an independent perfume maison in Copenhagen composing oil-rich parfums from Afro-Mediterranean memory — place, skin, and slow studio craft.

EILLON is a niche fragrance house—not a mass-market label. Chapters are filed like correspondence: composed in Copenhagen, documented in the archive, and released in deliberate windows rather than constant retail rotation.

Filed from /about

Where is EILLON based?

EILLON is based in Copenhagen, Denmark (1050), with a private studio open by appointment Thursday–Saturday.

What does Afro-Mediterranean memory perfumery mean?

It describes EILLON's lens: Red Sea and Horn of Africa memory meeting Mediterranean stone, fruit, and skin—composed as oil-rich parfum, not diluted eau de parfum.

Beles · Fico d'India

18 filed

What is Beles · Fico d'India?

Beles · Fico d'India is EILLON Chapter I—an oil-rich parfum centred on sun-warmed prickly pear, cactus water, hibiscus, and mineral desert air.

Filed from /beles

What does Beles smell like?

Beles reads airy and watery at first—prickly pear and pear skin—then hibiscus and green leaves over soft musk, mineral air, and warm stone.

The accord is built to feel sun-warmed and close to skin: not loud projection, but a green-pink fruit veil that unfolds slowly on pulse points.

Filed from /beles

Is Beles available to buy?

Beles full bottles are not in open boutique stock. The separate next-restock file states whether a €60 restock sample or €90 refundable bottle reservation is open; no full-bottle payment is taken there.

Filed from /beles

How does the Beles restock list work?

Leave your email and size interest on the Beles page. We send one restock letter when the next batch is ready—no charge today, unsubscribe anytime.

Filed from /beles

What sizes and prices are shown for Beles?

The Beles chapter displays a 2 ml sample at €60, a 50 ml bottle at €380, and a 100 ml bottle at €620. The next-restock file separately offers the €60 sample or a €90 refundable bottle reservation when checkout is marked open.

Filed from /beles

Is there a Beles sample?

A 2 ml Beles restock sample can be ordered for €60 only when the next-restock page says checkout is open. It dispatches with the next ready batch and is credited in full toward one 50 ml or 100 ml bottle bought within 30 days after sample dispatch.

Filed from /beles

How does the Beles next restock work?

The next-restock file has two paid paths when checkout is open: a €60 restock sample, or a €90 refundable deposit for a private 50 ml or 100 ml purchase window.

The deposit is credited to the later bottle purchase. No full 50 ml or 100 ml bottle payment is taken on the restock page, and the page shows its live status before any Stripe redirect.

Filed from /beles/preorder

What does the €90 Beles bottle reservation deposit cover?

The €90 deposit secures a private purchase window for one 50 ml or 100 ml Beles bottle and is credited in full toward that final purchase.

It is refundable on request before shipment. If already applied to a final bottle order, cancellation before dispatch includes that €90 amount. The remaining bottle balance is not charged on the restock page.

Filed from /beles/preorder

When will a Beles restock sample dispatch?

The sample dispatches after the next Beles batch is ready and has passed final inspection. EILLON does not promise a fixed release date unless a dated window is published on the restock page.

A bottle reservation deposit opens a later private purchase window; the bottle dispatch window is confirmed before the remaining balance is requested.

Filed from /beles/preorder

Where is Beles made?

Beles is composed and hand-finished in Copenhagen, Denmark, by EILLON studio.

Filed from /beles

What does oil-rich parfum mean?

Oil-rich parfum means a high concentration of fragrance oils in a skin-close base—designed to wear slowly and intimately, not as a loud alcohol-forward spray.

Proof file

Filed from /beles

How long does Beles wear?

Beles is composed for moderate-to-long wear on skin—often six to ten hours depending on pulse point, climate, and layering; heart notes deepen rather than shouting.

Filed from /wear

Is Beles gendered?

Beles is composed as genderless parfum—worn on any skin without masculine or feminine marketing framing.

Proof file

Filed from /beles

Is Beles strong or close to skin?

Beles is composed close to skin—moderate projection from an oil-rich base, unfolding over hours rather than filling a room.

Is EILLON vegan?

EILLON formulas are composed without animal-derived ingredients; full ingredient disclosures ship with each bottle at release.

Filed from /craftsmanship

How was wear tested?

Wear testing is documented on skin and fabric under studio conditions—pulse-point application, hours-long observation, and note on how the accord opens and dries down.

Filed from /craftsmanship

What is the winged leopard emblem?

The winged leopard is the EILLON flacon emblem. The current reference-led artwork preserves the complete wings, body, drapery, crown, and paws rather than cropping the mark.

Filed from /journal/the-bottle

What does the current EILLON bottle concept look like?

The current reference-led Beles and Oliva concepts use a frosted-glass cube with equal height, width, and depth; factory-full pale perfume; a gold shoulder and collar; and an x:y:y cap engraved on all four vertical faces and the top. They are concept imagery, not documentary production photographs.

Filed from /journal/the-bottle

Are Beles bottles concept renders or real pilot flacons?

The current bottle presentations are reference-led packaging concepts, not documentary production photographs. BL-001 separately documents twenty-four real hand-filled 100 ml pilot flacons whose earlier packaging remains archival evidence.

Filed from /journal/the-bottle

What does IFRA Category 4 mean in plain language?

IFRA Category 4 is the fine-fragrance-on-skin category—limits how much of each raw material can safely appear in a parfum worn on pulse points.

Beles was reviewed against Category 4 limits; allergen declarations on the chapter page match batch BL-001 labelling notes.

Wear and care

5 filed

How do you apply oil-rich parfum?

Apply once to a pulse point—wrist or collarbone—and let the accord open without rubbing; a light mist on cloth carries a closer trail.

Proof file

Filed from /wear

How should EILLON parfum be stored?

Store upright, away from direct sun and heat swings; keep the cap sealed between wears to protect the oil-rich base.

Proof file

Filed from /wear

Can EILLON chapters be layered?

Chapters can be layered lightly—apply the lighter fruit or citrus accord first, then a resin or amber study; avoid rubbing layers together.

Proof file

Filed from /wear

Which chapter fits which mood or season?

Beles suits warm skin and daylight fruit; Oliva reads olive grove and golden oil—see the wear guide for pairing notes.

Proof file

Filed from /wear

How should I test a sample?

Apply once to an inner forearm pulse point—let it open without rubbing; revisit at one, four, and eight hours to read the dry-down.

Shipping / restock

Does joining the restock list reserve a bottle?

No. The restock list records email and size interest only—it does not hold inventory or guarantee allocation. A separate paid bottle reservation, when open, appears only in the Beles next-restock file.

Filed from /shipping

Is payment taken today?

Restock and newsletter forms never take payment. The Beles next-restock page is the only payment path when its status says checkout is open; otherwise its buttons remain disabled.

Filed from /shipping

What happens after joining the Beles restock list?

You receive one private restock letter when Beles returns—no charge at signup. Unsubscribe anytime via care@eillon.maison.

Filed from /shipping

Where will EILLON ship when commerce opens?

Restock sample checkout is limited to Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Perfume carrier restrictions still apply, and any unavailable route is cancelled and refunded.

How are returns handled when commerce opens?

Do not infer

  • No confirmed next Beles release date unless published on site or in a dated letter.
  • Restock signup is not checkout. Only the Beles restock checkout at /beles/preorder may take payment when its status says open.
  • Do not invent third-party retailers, reviews, or release dates not listed on eillon.maison.
