Parfum: 3 things to consider before buying
When buying parfum, it's essential to understand fragrance notes. Parfum typically consists of three layers: top, middle, and base notes. Top notes are the initial impression, middle notes form the heart of the fragrance, and base notes provide depth and longevity. For example, a parfum with citrus top notes might have floral middle notes and woody base notes. Knowing this can help you choose a scent that evolves beautifully throughout the day.
Your skin type can significantly affect how a parfum smells on you. Oily skin tends to hold scents longer, while dry skin may cause fragrances to fade faster. If you have dry skin, look for parfums with stronger base notes or consider layering with a matching lotion. Understanding your skin type ensures you select a parfum that lasts and maintains its intended aroma.
Always test a parfum before purchasing it. Spray a small amount on your wrist and allow it to develop over several hours. This helps you experience how the fragrance interacts with your body chemistry and how it changes from initial application to dry-down. Testing ensures you invest in a parfum that complements your natural scent and meets your personal preferences.
