Through this section, Cathrine opens the world of perfumery to every visitor of the website. Whether it's understanding the different notes in a fragrance, or tips on how to choose the ideal fragrance for your skin type, this module offers a deep understanding of perfumery.
When you want to choose a perfume it is good to know your favorite family - category of perfumes because it is the one that suits you. How to do this? You will write down on a piece of paper the perfumes you wear then you will find what fragrance oils the perfumes contain. And that's how you'll find out who your favorite family is.
The Right time to buy perfume is the afternoon because your sense of smell is strong and works properly.
When testing a perfume, wait 10 minutes for all the scents to develop.
The maximum of perfumes you can try on your pulse points is up to 3 different ones.
A fragrance can help boost your confidence as long as it's to your liking, fits your personality and is compatible with your body chemistry.
What are the factors that shape the character of the perfume on you??
Sweat rate is one of the most important factors. The more stress you have, the higher your pulse and thus your body temperature, causing you to sweat and needing to constantly renew your perfume.
Your diet also plays an important role, the richer in fat it is, the stronger the fragrance will smell on you.
Another factor that affects your body chemistry is hormonal changes over time, so in more mature skins strong fragrances last and not cool and fruity ones.
Finally, your skin type is decisive: Dry Skin - Oily Skin
But the color of your Skin also plays a role.
Perfume needs oil to stay on your skin. Dry skin type quickly absorbs the oils of the perfume so that it does not last at all. So prefer to wear Eau de Parfum instead of Eau de Toilette and always moisturize your skin with an unscented emulsion.
In winter, wear strong perfumes because of the cold, because the decrease in temperature reduces the strength of the perfume.
In the summer wear light, cool perfumes because the heat increases the strength of the smell.
Parfum has the highest percentage of aromatic matter, no need to renew, with a few drops you smell all day. The same goes for the Eau de Parfum. They are followed by Eau de Toilette which needs at least one renewal and Eau de Cologne or Body Sprays which need several renewals during the day.
When you try a perfume, never rub the place where you put it because it changes the smell and dissolves the structure of the perfume.
Do not wear heavy perfumes in the morning hours in closed spaces like the office because someone may have allergies and you may cause a lot of damage.
Do not leave your perfume bottles exposed to sunlight because the fragrance will deteriorate.
Usually a good fragrance does not spoil, but it is good to keep it in a place with room temperature
Do not wear Parfum and Eau de Parfum on wet skin as it may irritate.
