Fragrances: 3 things to consider before buying
Fragrances are composed of different layers known as notes: top, middle, and base. Each note plays a crucial role in the overall scent profile. Top notes are what you smell immediately after applying a fragrance, but they dissipate quickly. Middle notes, or heart notes, emerge next and form the core of the fragrance, lasting longer than top notes. Finally, base notes provide depth and longevity to the scent. When choosing fragrances, consider how these notes evolve over time and select ones that align with your personal preferences.
It's essential to test fragrances on your skin before making a purchase. Body chemistry can affect how a fragrance smells, so what works for someone else might not work for you. Visit a store and apply a small amount of the fragrance on your wrist or inner elbow. Allow it to develop over several hours to experience its full evolution. If shopping online, look for samples or travel sizes first to ensure it's the right fit for you.
Different fragrances suit different seasons and occasions. Light floral or citrus fragrances are ideal for spring and summer as they complement warm weather with their fresh and airy profiles. In contrast, rich woody or spicy fragrances are perfect for autumn and winter due to their warm and enveloping qualities. Additionally, consider the occasion: subtle scents work well for everyday wear or professional settings, while more intense fragrances can be reserved for special events or evenings out.
