FAQ

What is 528 Underground?

 

528 Underground is a 100% natural French indie perfume brand, creating 100% natural indie perfumes, infused with a 528hz frequency.

 

Designed as emotional and sensory experiences, each natural indie perfume is built around energy, atmosphere, and identity.

 

What makes 528 Underground indie perfumes different?

 

528 Underground creates experience-based fragrances built around archetypes.

 

Each perfume is designed to:

• evolve naturally on the skin

• express a mood or identity

• feel intuitive rather than analytical

 

We focus on how a perfume feels.

Are your perfumes 100% natural?

 

Yes. All 528 Underground perfumes are made using 100% natural ingredients.

 

We work with 100% natural raw materials with a focus on authenticity, transparency, and small-batch production.

 

What is an “experience-based fragrance”?

 

An experience-based fragrance is not designed to be read like a formula.

 

Instead of breaking a perfume into notes, we design it as:

• a feeling

• an atmosphere

• a personal projection

 

It’s something you step into.

 

Do your perfumes last as long as synthetic perfumes?

 

Yes, 528 UNDERGROUND’s natural perfumes have the longevity of synthetic perfumes. They may interact differently with the skin.

 

Instead of a fixed, linear projection, they tend to:

• evolve more organically

• sit closer to the skin

 

Longevity depends on your skin, environment, and application, but the experience remains dynamic.

 

How should I apply your perfume?

 

There are no strict rules.

 

You can apply your perfume:

• on pulse points (neck, wrists, inner elbows)

• on hair or clothing

• lightly or generously

 

For longer wear, apply on well-moisturised skin and let it settle naturally without rubbing.

 

How should I store my perfume?

 

To preserve the quality of your perfume:

• keep it away from direct sunlight

• avoid excessive heat

• store it in its box if not used daily

 

Light and heat can gradually alter natural compositions over time.

 

Are your perfumes unisex?

 

Yes. All 528 Underground indie perfumes are genderless.

 

Each scent is designed around energy and identity, not traditional gender categories.

 

What is the Black Sheep Collection?

 

The Black Sheep Collection is a series of perfumes built around individuality and non-conformity.

 

Each fragrance represents a distinct personality, emotion, or attitude, designed for those who prefer to express themselves rather than fit into predefined categories.

 

What is “Hairy Mermaid”?

 

Hairy Mermaid is a 100% natural marine-woody indie perfume by 528 Underground.

 

It explores the contrast between softness and wild nature, creating a raw, textural, aromatic and atmospheric scent that sits close to the skin.

 

What is “Pull My Finger”?

 

Pull My Finger is a 100% natural perfume by 528 Underground built around joy, irreverence, and playful disruption.

 

It captures the energy of laughter and spontaneity—designed for those who don’t take life too seriously.

 

Where are your perfumes made?

 

Our perfumes are developed and bottled in Tanneron, France, in collaboration with Grasse based perfumers.

 

Do you produce in small batches?

 

Yes. All perfumes are made in small batches to maintain quality, freshness, and control over each formulation.

 

Why “528”?

 

528 refers to the 528hz frequency, associated with harmony and transformation.

 

For us, it reflects the idea that perfume is not just something you smell, but something you feel and an energy you carry.

 

It’s also called the ‘love’ frequency, so we infuse every bottle with it for an extra spritz of love.
