How to choose your fragrance?
5 rules:

The approximate composition of all perfumes is the same. Each perfume contains alcohol, water and a perfume composition consisting of a concentrate and a mixture of fragrant substances🤔.


So how are the flavors different? The secret is simple - fragrances smell differently because they use different proportions of the mixture of ingredients😌.

In addition, perfumes differ in durability and concentration, and on the packages there are letters that are incomprehensible at first glance, for example, EDT or ODC.

What do these terms mean?

Eau de Parfum - EDP or Esprit De Parfum
Toilet water - EDT or Eau De Toilette
Cologne - EDC (ODC) or Eau De Cologne
Perfume - Parfum or Extrait
Refreshing or sports water - L'eau Fraiche, Eau De Sport
WHAT DIFFERENT FROM PERFUME TOILET WATER?
Perfume (Parfum) is the most high-quality and persistent perfume composition. As a rule, perfumes are produced by the most famous brands and sell them for a lot of money, but the quality matches the price😍.

Perfume composition: 20-30% perfume composition and 90% alcohol. The composition of perfumes includes the most expensive natural ingredients.

Toilet water (EDT) is a 6-12% concentrate diluted in 85% alcohol.

Eau de Parfum (EDP), or the so-called daytime perfume, is 15-20% of a perfume composition diluted in 90% alcohol.

Men often like to wear cologne (EDC), and it contains 3-5% fragrances in 70-80% alcohol.

Refreshing or sports water is 1-3% perfume composition and 70-80% alcohol, usually with a citrus aroma🔥.

In addition, in American perfumery, the designation Cologne, as a rule, corresponds to French eau de parfum or toilet water🤔.

HOW TO UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU CHOOSE THE RIGHT FLAVOR?
Jacques Polge, the famous French perfumer, said: "A dress is an ornament of appearance, and perfume is an inner dimension of the feminine."

The aroma is that barely perceptible haze emanating from the skin, carrying a certain hint, a shimmering image, a gentle touch of silk, the rustle of music🥰.

Your fragrance should bring you only positive emotions. The aroma should be such that even in gloomy weather it will cheer you up. When you like every note of it from the top to the very depth of the plume - then this fragrance is really yours😍!

IS THERE A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HUMAN CHARACTER AND PERFUME SCENTS?
Psychologists have been studying the relationship between smell and human character for a long time and came to the following conclusions.

Extroverts prefer fragrances with fresh and floral notes.

Seductive women choose oriental and sophisticated perfumes.

Emotional, infantile and prone to narcissism women use perfumes with a touch of powder, which, as it were, envelops the body with an invisible veil☺️.

The taste of powder, which, as it were, envelops the body with a protective cover, is most often chosen by emotional, self-admiring women, who are always somewhat infantile and love to look in the mirror😇.

Optimists and active people prefer fruity-floral fragrances🌷.

Ambitious, strong men often use chypre and woody fragrances😉.

Based on these conclusions of psychologists, you can choose perfumes for yourself or your friends.

HOW FAST DOES THE NOSE LOOK OUT OF SCENTS?
Pretty fast. If the perfumes are of different types, you can smell 5-6 fragrances, but if the perfumes are similar enough, then no more than 2-4☝️.

It is better to start with light smells and finish with heavier ones - they tire the nose faster☝️.

When trying a new fragrance, it takes some time to let it unfold. Therefore, it would be ideal to apply the perfume you like on your wrist and walk around with it for a while, sometimes I sniff it😌.

So you can feel the whole bouquet of the fragrance and understand whether you like it from beginning to end, or you were attracted only by the top notes🤔.
IS THERE A PERFUME FOR BLONDES AND BRUNETTES?
No, they don't exist. However, it used to be that brunettes should choose sweet, heavy scents, while blondes should choose fresh and floral ones🥰.

But now it has become clear that you should rather take into account your style: romantic, businesslike, extravagant, classic — and choose your fragrance based on it☺️.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE CORRECT FRAGRANCE FOR YOUR STYLE AND APPEARANCE?
The question of choosing a perfume for style and appearance remains relevant😌.

To make your choice easier, we suggest considering the following factors:

1. Age. For younger people, light fragrances are more suitable, for older people, the fragrance should be deeper and richer.

2. The name and advertising of perfumes. Manufacturers, releasing a new fragrance, already know what kind of audience it might like - for this, large corporations have entire departments for social media. research. Therefore, the name and advertising of this perfume is directly addressed to a specific group of prospective buyers.

For example, the perfume Chanel No 5 will not be advertised by a girl with pink hair and piercings, since this fragrance is intended for older ladies.

3. Combinations of perfume with your clothes. Here, advertising is also an assistant - what style to “wear” the fragrance for - jeans or a tuxedo. In addition, it is worth paying attention to the color and style of packaging. The more restrained and solid color, the more classic clothes are suitable.
