Seasonal Scents and How to Select The Perfect Perfume

But this can be avoided by having scents so perfect for you that you’ll never forget to stock up. Get to know more about what makes your scent and this year’s hottest things to spray.
How to Find The Perfect Perfume Match
You may be drawn to certain scents from a mile away and run away from the ones you absolutely loathe. The key to it all is all in the notes and the type.
Notes
The notes are the essential oils/ingredients that make up the perfumes. There are three notes that make up a perfume: lead, heart, and base.
Tip: read the notes of your favorite fragrances to identify recurring choices.
-
Top Notes
The leading scent you’ll smell is a Top Note. It won’t last for long but will capture your immediate attention. Top Notes are often fruit, herb, or citrus scents.
-
Heart Notes
Heart Notes are the scents you smell when Lead Notes have begun to lightly evaporate. You’ll smell them, and their infusion with other notes, for a longer period of time than Top Notes. Common Heart Notes include cinnamon, nutmeg, coriander, jasmine, rose, and lemongrass.
-
Base Notes
These scents are the longest lasting and appear when the Top Notes have completely evaporated. They mix with Heart Notes for some time as well. Common Base Notes include vanilla, musk, cedarwood, and sandalwood.
Types
Grabbing the first bottle might not be the best idea.There are different types of perfumes, the names of which you’ve undoubtedly seen before, but these names tell you what to expect in terms of duration.
- Eau de Toilette: A light fragrance that will wash off your skin and clothes easily, and won’t linger all day.
- Eau de Parfum: A fragrance with a strong oil concentrate that lasts for several hours.
These are only the foundation points to understanding perfumes. But the ultimate way to decide what suits you best is by testing them out since scents work differently on different people.
