When it comes to picking the right perfume for yourself, there is
this confusing and unique pressure that comes with such a task. This may probably
be because of the great number of scents and fragrances to choose from. Regardless
of the reason, picking the perfect perfume has historically been a trial and
error task that may come across as intimidating and daunting. But fret not!
Just like every lock comes with a key, every problem comes with a solution! And
BORNO COLLECTIONS have just the
solution you need. All you need to do is to keep the following three (3) things in mind while
selecting the right perfume for yourself.
1.
Pay attention to the notes
Every perfume contains different notes which decide the overall
scent. These notes consist of three different layers called base, top or head,
and middle or heart notes, and they all work together to create a specific
smell. Some perfumes, for example would be considered floral and contain
different scent notes like rose, gardenia, or geranium. Others may be a bit
fruitier, with undertones of citrus or apple. Exotic perfumes contain spicy
notes like star anise or even cinnamon. You can learn more about the different
notes used to make cologne and perfume in order to get a better idea of which
ones you think will suit your tastes.
2.
Concentration level
As the concentration gets higher, the price usually gets higher as
well. Typically, colognes or perfumes with high concentration have a more
powerful scent and last longer. The highest concentration is simply called perfume or parfum which lasts an entire
day. The next lower level is eau de
parfum, which typically can last about six hours after application. The
third level is called eau de toilette.
It typically requires more than one application throughout the day to get it to
last. The fourth and lowest fragrance concentration is eau de cologne, which only lasts about two hours.
3.
Skin Type
But it should also be noted that while trying out various samples
of perfumes, a skin test is the most
important, as our skin itself has certain hormones and pheromones that can
slightly change the fragrance of a certain perfume. There
are three different skin types: dry, combination or oily skin. The
characteristics of your skin should be taken into consideration before choosing
your fragrance. However, other factors (like
food; skin temperature; season; age; hormonal cycle, etc.) intervene with
the alchemy between the perfume and your skin (the epidermis), making it
difficult to make generalizations based solely on these characteristics.
To crown it all, following these tips at the end of the day, we at
Borno Collections will guide you to
make sure you get the perfume that suits you and feel comfortable wearing. Thus,
finally finding your signature scent and you will be glad you came by.
