FAQs
- What perfume is best for women?
To determine the best perfume for women is left to the personal tastes of the individual woman as perfume choice is influenced by certain factors, such as the women’s personal taste, style, the occasion the perfume is being worn for, and even the season or the weather.
Not to mention, some women may prefer floral, fruity, woody, or sweet scents but it may not be the ideal choice for other women, who may prefer scents that are fresh, citrusy, or more on the masculine side. Sometimes you even have to consider the ingredients of the perfume as some may cause an allergic reaction or react differently to your skin.
At the end of the day, it is highly recommended that you explore the various perfumes on the market, testing them on your skin so you can choose the best perfume based on your preferences and personality.
- How do I choose perfume?
The right perfume depends on what you want to smell like. Do you want to be a seductress-femme-fatale? Or are you the light-hearted, Disney Princess type? Some perfumes also smell like dusk, the woods, like home.
What you want to watch out for here is the notes – specifically its base notes, which form the general scent of the perfume, the heart notes, and the top notes. The combination of the three will make up a smell that suits you.
Aside from that, concentration is important. You don’t want to spend hundreds on a bottle only for it to disappear throughout the day. There are four main categories, the most common being perfume with the highest concentration, followed by Eau de parfum, Eau de toilette, and body mists. The last one does not last as long, but it may be better for people with sensitive noses or skin.
- Where should I spray my perfume to last longer?
Most experts say to spray your perfume on your pulse points, ie: your wrists, the nape of your neck, behind your knees, behind your ear, and inside your elbows – even combing it through your hair! That last tip will make your perfume flow into the air around you as you move around, giving you a more natural scent.
Also, you don’t want to rub the perfume on, just dab. Rubbing it excessively will cause the top notes to dissipate, which defeats the purpose of wearing it.
