What to look for when buying perfume
Step one: Select your favourite scents! Selecting the right fragrance is an important decision that requires a bit of research and understanding prior to purchasing perfume online. We believe that finding the perfect scent involves discovering one that complements your personal style and enhances your unique characteristics. Understanding the composition of a fragrance can help you make an informed decision on what suits you best. Fragrances have top, middle, and base notes that work together to create a unique blend that interacts differently with everyone’s body chemistry.
How to make perfume last longer
Timing your perfume application
The best possible time to apply your perfume is immediately after showering. Your skin is supple and the pores are open to easily accept the scent. Dry off and spritz yourself prior to putting on your clothes, preventing any stains to clothes or jewellery.
Apply perfume to your “sweet spots”
One of the best ways to make your perfume last longer is by applying it to pulse points. These are areas of the body where the blood vessels are closest to the skin, which helps to radiate heat and intensify the scent. The most common pulse points are the wrists, the neck, and behind the ears. But, don’t limit yourself to these areas. Other strategic spots include the cleavage, inside the elbows, and behind the knees.
Layer perfume with a matching body lotion
Layering your fragrance with a complementary body lotion or oil is a great way to make the scent last all day. How? You ask. Well, the added moisture from these products helps to hydrate the skin and create a barrier that locks in the scent, making it last longer. Using a matching lotion or oil can also help to intensify the fragrance, creating a more long-lasting and noticeable aroma. For the best results, choose a lotion or oil that contains the same fragrance notes as your perfume, and apply it to your pulse points before spritzing on your perfume.
P.S. Our body and bath (women) and bath and body (men) are great places to start if you want to find matching lotions to your favourite fragrances.
Correctly store your perfume
Proper storage of your perfume can make a huge difference in preserving its quality and longevity. It is important to check perfume expiry dates and store your fragrance in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Exposure to light and heat can cause the perfume to break down and oxidize, which can alter the scent and diminish its longevity. Ideally, you should store your perfume in its original packaging or in a dark, opaque container to protect it from light. Avoid storing your perfume in the bathroom or any humid areas, as moisture can also affect the scent and consistency of the fragrance. Additionally, make sure the bottle is tightly closed to prevent air from getting in and causing the perfume to evaporate. By following these simple tips, you can help to preserve the quality and longevity of your favourite fragrance for years to come.
Scent forever: The longest-wearing perfumes
If you are searching for a long-wearing perfume, you will first need to understand the difference between parfum and EDT (also known as Eau de Parfum and Eau de Toilette).
The difference between parfum and EDT is all about the concentration of fragrance oils.
- Parfum, also known as perfume extract, has a much higher concentration of oils, typically ranging from 20%–40%. This means that parfum is the most intense and long-lasting fragrance option available, perfect for those who want a powerful scent that lasts for hours.
- Eau de Toilette, on the other hand, has a lower concentration of oils, usually ranging from 5%–15%. This makes it a lighter and more refreshing option, ideal for everyday wear or for those who prefer a more subtle scent.
It’s important to test and try different fragrances until you find the one that works best for you. Everyone’s body chemistry is different, so a perfume that smells amazing on your friend might not have the same effect on you. Make sure to test perfumes on your skin rather than just smelling them on a tester strip. Don’t be afraid to ask for samples or try out different fragrances over time until you find your perfect scent. Trust us, it’s worth it for a fragrance that makes you feel confident and beautiful all day long.
