Easy Guide to Choosing the Perfect Perfume 💐

Have you ever wondered what terms like parfum or eau de toilette mean when referring to your favorite fragrance? Here's how:

1. What do these names mean?

• Parfum (Perfume):
  It contains the highest concentration of essential oils (20-30%). It's more intense, lasts between 8 and 12 hours, and is usually more expensive.
• Eau de Parfum (EDP):
  It has a medium-high concentration (15-20%). Ideal for lasting all day (6-8 hours) without being overwhelming.
• Eau de Toilette (EDT):
  Light and fresh, with 5-15% essential oils. Perfect for daily use, lasting 3-5 hours.
• Eau de Cologne (EDC):
  Very mild, with only 2-4% oils. Its fragrance lasts 1-2 hours.

2. How do you know if a perfume has a good hold?

Fixation depends on several factors:

• Concentration: As we saw, perfumes with higher concentration last longer.
• Skin type: Oily skin retains fragrances better, while on dry skin the fragrance evaporates faster.
• Perfume Notes: Fragrances with woody, oriental, or spicy notes tend to last longer than citrus or floral ones.

3. Tips to get the most out of your perfume:

• Apply to pulse points such as wrists, neck, and behind the ears.
• Moisturize your skin before using it for better hold.
• Avoid rubbing your wrists, as this breaks down the fragrance molecules.

Now you're ready to choose the perfume that best suits you!
