The Three Stages of Perfume:
Every perfume goes through three stages: the top note, which you smell immediately upon application; the middle note, which appears after a few minutes; and the base note, which defines the identity of the perfume and lasts the longest.
Tips for Choosing the Right Perfume:
- Test the perfume on your skin and leave it for a few minutes to observe the reaction.
- Choose the appropriate perfume based on the time and occasion; strong scents suit evenings, while lighter perfumes are suitable for mornings.
- Oily skin requires concentrated perfumes, while dry skin suits lighter scents.
- Select perfumes based on the season; summer scents are light and refreshing, while winter ones are warmer.
Choosing the Right Perfume for Every Personality:
Choosing the right perfume depends on your personal preferences and trying different fragrances. The perfume should reflect your personality and align with the nature of the occasion and time, whether it’s a formal event or a casual meeting.
For married couples, selecting the right perfume can enhance romantic atmospheres. It’s advisable to choose seductive scents with vanilla bases for night-time, while floral scents suit women during the day and aquatic perfumes suit men.
