Perfume (or Parfum) has a higher concentration of fragrance oils (typically 20–30%), which makes it last longer and smell stronger. Eau de Toilette contains less concentration (5–15%), so it’s lighter and fades more quickly.
Apply perfume to pulse points such as your wrists, neck, behind the ears, and inner elbows. Spraying on moisturized skin also helps the fragrance last longer, so consider using an unscented lotion before applying perfume.
Most high-quality perfumes are safe for direct skin application. However, if you have sensitive skin, it’s recommended to do a patch test first to avoid any irritation from alcohol or synthetic ingredients.
Store your perfume in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat. Exposure to light and temperature changes can degrade the fragrance over time.
Yes, body chemistry plays a big role in how a perfume smells. Factors like skin type, diet, and even hormones can influence how a scent develops on your skin.
