Choose the right perfume for you
Choosing your perfume can sometimes be tricky, as it must match your character and personality. We therefore advise you to test several perfumes with different notes to know which fragrance to go for.
Small tips: your nose can quickly find itself "saturated" by perfumes. We advise you to take time in your research by spacing the tests and limiting yourself to 4 or 5 samples. If you have the possibility, smell some coffee between each perfume, the latter has the ability to "rinse your nose" and thus reset your smell before you can move on to new scents. In the store, do not hesitate to keep samples that you like the most, you can also perfume your skin to see how the perfume evolves during the day.

The right dose of perfume
Wearing perfume is pleasant for yourself and for others, but be careful not to overdo it. A too heady scent can quickly embarrass your entourage: the ideal dose is never more than 3 sprays on your skin. Over the course of the day, you will tend to feel less of your perfume on you because your nose will get used to it. However, your entourage will probably feel it as much!
You must also take into account the nature of your perfume. A eau de toilette will be less intense than a eau de parfum. Thus, the number of sprays varies, you will have less trouble finding the right balance with a softer and less aggressive smell.
The right moment to perfume
The ideal time to perfume is after the shower so that the still moist body soaks up the scent. As the day progresses, it is possible that the smell is hidden, we advise you to carry your bottle in your bag to give a small dose. You can also, allow yourself a more intense spray, in the evening, before going out.
How to prolong your perfume over time?
It is quite possible to keep your perfume to extend it over time. The secret is simply to keep it away from the light, because the sun's rays can alter your perfume, the same is true when your bottle is subjected to high temperatures.
Therefore, to preserve it, the ideal is a cool and dry place, we advise you to keep your perfume in its original packaging and place it in a cool and dry place.
