Your Guide to the World of Perfumes: How to Choose the Perfect Perfume?

What are perfumes and how are they made?

Perfumes are a mixture of natural or synthetic essential oils and solvents such as alcohol. A variety of ingredients are used, including:

Types of perfumes according to their concentration:

1. Parfum: The highest concentration of perfume (20%-40%), lasts for long hours.
2. Eau de Parfum: Medium concentration (15%-20%), ideal for occasions.
3. Eau de Toilette: Light concentration (5%-15%), suitable for everyday use.
4. Eau de Cologne: Very light concentration (2%-5%), gives a quick refreshment.

How to choose the right perfume?

1. Define your personality:

   • If you prefer elegance and sophistication, choose floral or woody perfumes.
   • If you like freshness, try fruity or citrusy fragrances.
   • If you are looking for boldness and attractiveness, choose oriental perfumes.

2. Test the fragrance:

   • Spray the perfume on your skin and leave it for a few minutes to let the base notes develop.
   • Try it at different times of the day to see how it reacts to your skin.

3. Choose the right one for the occasion:

   • For everyday use: Choose a light, fresh fragrance.
   • For special occasions: Choose a rich, warm fragrance.

Tips to maintain your perfume:

• Store the perfume in a cool, dark place to maintain its quality.
• Do not rub the perfume after spraying it to avoid destroying the notes.
