Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What are the top notes, middle notes, and base notes in a fragrance?
Fragrances are typically composed of three main layers of notes: top notes, middle notes, and base notes. Top notes are the initial, fleeting scents that are detected immediately after application, such as citrus or floral notes. Middle notes are the heart of the fragrance and emerge after the top notes have faded, such as spices or fruit. Base notes are the long-lasting, underlying scents that remain after the fragrance has dried down, such as mus
Are all fragrances suitable for both men and women?
Many fragrances are marketed as unisex and can be worn by both men and women. However, some fragrances may be more traditionally associated with one gender or the other, and it’s ultimately up to personal preference which fragrances you choose to wear.
How long does a bottle of perfume last once opened?
Once opened, a bottle of perfume can last for up to two years, although this can vary depending on the specific fragrance and how it is stored. Over time, the fragrance may begin to lose some of its potency and change in scent, so it’s a good idea to use it within the recommended timeframe.
How should I store my perfume to maintain its quality?
Perfume should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. This will help to preserve the fragrance and prevent it from spoiling or evaporating prematurely. It’s also a good idea to keep the perfume in its original packaging or a dark, opaque bottle to protect it from light.
What is the difference between Eau de Toilette and Eau de Parfum?
Eau de Toilette (EDT) and Eau de Parfum (EDP) are both types of fragrances that differ in their concentration of fragrance oils. EDT typically has a lower concentration of oils (around 5-15%), while EDP has a higher concentration (around 15-20%). This means that EDP is generally more long-lasting and has a stronger scent than EDT.
Can I wear the same perfume all year round, or should I switch it up with the seasons?
It’s up to personal preference whether you choose to wear the same fragrance year-round or switch it up with the seasons. However, some fragrances may be more suited to certain seasons than others. For example, lighter, fresher scents may be more appropriate for summer, while richer, warmer fragrances may be better for winter.
What is the best way to apply perfume for maximum effectiveness?
Yes, you can layer different fragrances to create a unique scent. However, it’s important to choose fragrances that complement each other rather than clash. You can experiment with layering by applying one fragrance to your pulse points and another to your clothes or hair.

How can I tell if a fragrance is suited to my skin type?
The best way to determine if a fragrance is suited to your skin type is to try it out and see how it develops on your skin. Some fragrances may smell differently on different people due to variations in skin chemistry. You can also look for fragrances that are specifically designed for your skin type, such as fragrances that are formulated for sensitive skin.
What is the difference between a niche and a designer fragrance?
Niche fragrances are typically produced by small, independent perfume houses and are known for their unique and often unconventional scents. They are often more expensive than designer fragrances and may be harder to find. Designer fragrances, on the other hand, are produced by large fashion houses and are typically more widely available and more affordable. They may be marketed towards a wider audience and are often associated with specific fashion brands or celebrities.
