How should you choose from different types of perfumes? In addition to the design and the aroma of perfume bottles outside, you also can choose according to the following four steps.

Step 1: Understand The Type Of Perfume

In fact, the perfumes are classified based on the concentration of fragrance contained in it. 

Let’s take a look at the types of perfume based on the concentration of fragrance (from light to strong).

-Eau Fraiche: The fragrance content is only about 1% to 2%. For example, deodorant and perfume lotion. 

-Eau de Cologne: The fragrance content is only about 3% to 5%. It is a mixture of oil, water, and alcohol. The smell is relatively fresh and lasts about 1 to 2 hours. It mainly belongs to a male fragrance.

-Eau de Toilette: The fragrance content is 5% to 10%. The ratio of oil and water is similar to that of cologne, but the oil and water will be completely mixed with alcohol, and the fragrance can last for 3 to 4 hours.

-Eau de Parfum: The fragrance content is about 10% to 20%, and the fragrance can last for 4 to 5 hours.

-Parfum: The fragrance content is more than 20%, and some reach 30%. It can last for 6-8 hours. It is the most expensive among fragrance products.

Step 2: Choose The Fragrance You Like

The floral scent is sweeter and can be girly or feminine. The citrus scent is fresh and suitable for summer use.

The spicy fragrance is made of amber, vanilla, musk, etc. It belongs to the oriental fragrance. 

There are also woody fragrances that are more intense.

Step 3: Matching Body Fragrance

The same perfume may smell different on different people because the body produces different chemical effects. 

If your skin is dry, the perfume will evaporate faster. Hence, it is suggested that to buy perfumes with a higher concentration so that you can spray the perfume on your body for 8 hours. 

Before buying a perfume, you can try to feel the changes in the aroma with your temperature.

Step 4: Pay Attention To Durability

If you want to make the perfume more durable, you can spray perfume on specific body parts to effectively enhance the durability, such as the back of the ears, clavicle, and pulse position. 

Some people have pointed out that perfume will last longer if it is sprayed on clothes. However, some perfumes will leave stains on clothes, so try not to spray on clothes.
