Discover Your Olfactory Family
Identify your favorite olfactory family — floral, oriental, citrus, or woody — to find perfumes that match your personality.
Try Perfumes on Your Skin
Always test perfumes on your skin, not on paper — your pH and body temperature affect how each fragrance develops during the day.
Beware of olfactory fatigue
“Avoid smelling more than three perfumes in a row. After this, your sense of smell becomes saturated and won’t be able to distinguish the options correctly. A trick? Carry some coffee beans with you. Smelling them between tests helps to ‘reset’ your nose so you can evaluate each fragrance clearly.”
Remember to apply perfume on your pulse points such as wrists, neck, and behind the ears. The natural warmth of these areas will help the fragrance last longer. However, do not rub your wrists together, as this breaks the fragrance notes and alters its evolution.
Keep the occasion in mind when choosing a fragrance: opt for fresh perfumes for daytime, intense ones for the evening, and light scents for the office. And if you’re looking for an even application, try the cloud technique: spray the perfume into the air and walk through the mist.
Finally, take care of your perfumes by storing them in a cool place away from light, so they don’t oxidize or lose their scent. And don’t forget, you can mix light fragrances to create your own olfactory signature — making it truly unique!
Fresh perfumes for the day, intense perfumes for the night.
Consider the seasonality
👉 Citrus and floral perfumes for summer, woody and spicy perfumes for winter.
