Scent Notes
Did you know - Most scents consist of top, middle, and base notes. What differentiates these notes is the density of their molecules. The top note is very light and is the first note you smell right out of the bottle.
Most people determine if they like a scent based on this information alone, but to truly understand the scent, you must wear it so that you give the middle and base notes a chance to come through.The middle note takes about 15 minutes to develop, while the base note takes up to 45 minutes.

I got a whiff of this fragrance through a friend and would not rest until I owned it myself.

I have not been able to wear scented items for years due to triggering migraines. This is the only thing I have found that I can wear with no headache issues. I get so many compliments on the fragrance and it being subtle.

Obsessed with my roll on! So easy to bring with me and love having a piece of mind knowing the oil is made with all clean ingredients.

This is the second time i'm writing this review.They won't allow me to post it apparently.Because it's not a great review. i want to start by saying I love this perfume. I got it in a subscription box as a sample. And I searched high and low until I found it, I have spent a lot of money several times that's how much I love it.But with this bigger bottle, i've got less scent.I do not smell it at all.Not one iota of scent is on that roller or my skin when I use it.I'm really, really bummed, because I love it.And now i'm thinking I should have just got my other favorite because then at least I smell it
Was this helpful?RORiddle Oil41 minutes agoHi Stephanie,
We completely understand how frustrating this experience can be, and we appreciate you reaching out.
Our pheromone scents are formulated with base note properties, which can sometimes make them more subtle or difficult to detect depending on the individual. We do our best to provide detailed information on both the product page and in our help desk to help set expectations around this.
I can assure you that the oil is 100% concentrated and contains only two ingredients, with no carrier oils, so while it may seem like you’re not smelling it, the fragrance is absolutely present.
That said, what you’re experiencing is very real for your nose. Scent perception can vary quite a bit from person to person. It’s also very common to become “nose blind” to a scent over time, especially one you wear frequently or one made entirely of base notes. This can make a newer bottle seem less fragrant, even though the formula and potency remain the same. The good news is that this effect isn’t permanent, your scent receptors naturally renew over time (roughly every 28 days), and many customers find the fragrance becomes more noticeable again after a break.
For more context, we recommend taking a look at our article that explains this in more detail.
- SShaunVerified ReviewerYesterdayReviewingOriginal 8ml Roll-OnRated 1 out of 5 starsSomething is definitely different.
I have used Riddle Original several times for the past several years. Contrary to what they claim, it IS different. The smell doesn’t start as strong or last as long. Literally lasts minutes. When I have used Riddle Original historically, people at work could smell me just standing near me… in a good way!! I noticed no one has pointed out the smell after the last few wears of my newest bottle, so I asked several of them if they could smell it. The literally all said no, they couldn’t smell it. My sons said no, my husband said no… they can’t smell it either. Riddle makes claim after claim that they have not changed a thing, but I am 1000% sure that is not true. Just another company cutting quality for money, I’m sure. My sweet husband decided to gift me with my most recent bottle, but after shopping Riddle for several years, this will be the last purchase we make, unfortunately.
Was this helpful?RORiddle Oil27 minutes agoHi Shaun,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share this. I completely understand how disappointing this must feel, especially after loving Riddle Original for years. That’s not the experience we ever want for our customers.
I want to be very clear: we have not changed the formula of Original. It’s still made with the same two ingredients, at the same concentration, with no fillers or carrier oils. Our customers’ trust is everything to us, we would rather raise prices than compromise quality. Plus, we all (the Riddle team) wear it ourselves and love our products, so we’d never want it changed either.
That said, what you’re describing can happen, and there are a few reasons a scent might seem different:
Nose blindness (olfactory adaptation) When you’ve worn a scent for a long time, your brain tunes it out. Even a “new” bottle can seem weaker simply because your brain recognizes it faster.
Skin chemistry + environment Hydration, hormones, diet, and stress can all affect how a fragrance projects and lasts. The same oil can perform differently at different times.
The power of suggestion Sometimes asking people directly if they can smell a scent can influence their response, even subconsciously. It’s not about them lying — it’s just how perception and social cues work.
We truly value you as a long-time customer, and we want to make this right. Please allow us to send you a fresh bottle for peace of mind. We will email you also to continue the conversation of getting a new bottle to you.
Xx
