In accordance with Article L221-18 of the French Consumer Code, you have 14 calendar days from the receipt of your order to exercise your right of withdrawal, without having to provide a reason.
To be eligible for a refund, the item must be:
- in its original condition,
- unused and undamaged,

Returns made after this period or that do not meet these conditions cannot be accepted.

Before shipping, please contact our customer service team with the following information:
- your order number,
- the product concerned,
- and the reason for the return (e.g., change of mind, exchange, defect).
You will then be provided with a return authorization number (RMA) and a return address.
No package should be returned without prior authorization.
The product must be carefully packed, protected, and returned in its original packaging. We recommend using a tracked or insured shipping method to prevent any loss or damage during transit.

Products

What makes Ostendo items unique?

Each creation is conceived as a statement piece, a link between you, your home, and your lifestyle.
Moving beyond traditional home fragrance, our objects combine materials, symbols, and scents to create an olfactory and decorative experience that is both personal and evocative.

Do you offer custom-made creations?

Yes. Our creative studio can design a personalized message, setting, or symbolism, in harmony with your story or your interior.
The object then becomes a unique narrative, crafted for you.
To do so, please feel free to contact us via our form.

Do the items require any special care?

No heavy maintenance:
- Wipe the bottle and decorative elements with a soft cloth.
- Replace the reeds when changing fragrances for optimal scent diffusion.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to preserve the fragrance's intensity.

What materials do you use?

Bottle: glass
Decoration: painted steel (gold or colored depending on the model)
Sticks: black fiber
Cap: matte black aluminum

These materials have been selected for their expressive qualities and their ability to prolong the olfactory experience.

Are your diffusers rechargeable?

Yes. All our products are designed to last: simply replace the fragrance with a new compatible refill (200 ml or 500 ml depending on your needs and the capacity of your diffuser) and replace the reeds for optimal diffusion.
