It can sometimes be confusing to understand what exactly each type of perfume means and which one to choose, below is a quick summary to help you get started!
The strength of a perfume has to do with the amount of fragrance oil in the perfume. In general, the more fragrance oil is in it, the longer the scent will linger on your skin.
* The duration and strength is an indication and may differ per perfume and skin type.
When we talk about the concentrations of essential oils in the different categories, this only applies to natural perfumes where the essential oils are guaranteed to be made directly from pure essential oils. In other common perfumes, these fragrance combinations are made from synthetic "perfume extracts" and are often completely artificial and not natural. Some of these "perfume extracts" may even come from animals.
So, it's always important to check the ingredients and certifications of the perfumes you buy to ensure they are all-natural and vegan, if that matters to you.
That's possible. Each person has his or her own unique scent. This is because our skin has different pH values. What may be perceived as a pleasant smell to one person may be considered unpleasant to another.
That is possible, but it is advisable to first delve into the concept of layering because not all combinations of scents have a positive end result.
Perfume layering involves layering multiple perfume products with different scent notes to create a more complex and personalized scent. For example, by combining perfume, body lotion and oil, you can make the scent last longer and penetrate deeper into the skin. The result is a unique fragrance experience that suits your personal style and preference.

Applying perfume is an art in itself, because the right technique and placement can ensure that the scent lasts longer and is better expressed. Here is a brief explanation of how and where to apply perfume:
1. Pulse Points: The best places to apply perfume are on your pulse points, where your skin is warmer and the scent disperses well. These points are usually on the inside of your wrists, the sides of your neck, behind your ears, on your décolleté and on the inside of your elbows. The warmth in these areas helps activate and disperse the scent.
2. Don’t rub: When applying perfume, don’t rub your wrists together. This can break up the scent molecules and change the scent. Instead, gently pat your wrists together to disperse the scent.
3. Don’t spray into the air and walk through it: Spraying perfume into the air and then walking through it is a waste of perfume and will not lock the scent onto your skin. It is best to apply it directly to your skin.
4. Beware of Clothing:Although perfume can be applied to clothing, it can damage or leave stains on some fabrics. If you want to wear perfume on clothing, test it on an inconspicuous area first.
5. Pay attention to your skin type:Perfume can react in different ways to different skin types. Dry skin can cause the scent to fade more quickly, while oilier skin can retain the scent longer. Experiment with the amount you apply and how often, depending on your skin type.
6. Less is more:Excessive use of perfume can be overpowering and disturbing to others. Stick to a few sprays or drops and adjust according to the concentration of the perfume.
The most important thing is to remember that perfume should be subtle and add a personal touch to your style and personality. With the right technique and placement, you can ensure that your perfume lasts all day long and leaves an unforgettable impression.
Perfume is one of those wonderful luxury products that we cherish, but what happens to perfume over time? Does it have an expiration date?
Yes, perfume does have an expiration date, but it's not a hard and fast rule like it is with food. Instead, the lifespan of perfume depends on several factors, including its composition, storage, and exposure to light and heat.
In general, properly stored perfumes can last several years or even decades without significantly losing quality. Here are some tips to extend the life of your perfume:
Keep in mind that the shelf life of perfume varies from brand to brand and even from fragrance to fragrance. Some fragrances can last longer than others due to the specific ingredients and composition. In general, however, if stored properly, perfume can provide many years of pleasure without sacrificing quality.
