How to check the durability of a fragrance before purchasing?
Practical tips for testing perfumes also include tips for testing the longevity of a perfume. One of the key elements of a long-lasting fragrance is choosing a perfume, not an eau de toilette.
Moreover, pay attention to the perfume's ingredients. Remember that some fragrance notes are very fleeting, while others linger on the body for a long time. Spray a small amount of the perfume on your skin and see if the scent is still noticeable after a few hours. Also, check if the scent changes in intensity throughout the day.
Choosing fragrances for your personality
Consider which fragrance notes are closest to your heart and choose those that best suit your lifestyle. Subtle, delicate, and understated individuals most often choose floral and fresh scents that aren't too intense.
People who value intensity, self-confidence and are not afraid to follow their own path often choose oriental and woody fragrance notes, which are characterized by an intense scent.
Energetic and lively people most often choose fruity citrus fragrance notes.
How many scents can you test at once?
When choosing a perfume, you can test an unlimited number of fragrances, but it's best to limit yourself to just four. This will allow your sense of smell to distinguish the aromas and choose the best one for you.
