Once you've filled the online form...

Once you fill out the online application form, we will send instructions on how to submit the physical package within 24 hours. These instructions are automatically emailed by our submissions partner, submittable.com. 


If you do not receive an email within 24 hours, please check your spam folder. If it is not there, contact us at hello@artandolfaction.com and we will have a look. 


Follow the instructions in the email to send your samples in. We highly recommend you plan for shipping delays and do not delay sending your samples in. 


Once your sample is received, we will, again, send you an email notification via Submittable. Then, we will decant each perfume or experimental work into a vial and affix an anonymous tracking number to the vial. Every perfume submission is presented in the same way: a generic vial, with a number attached.
