How to choose the best feminine perfume

Choosing the ideal perfume is a task that must pass through some important points. In this case, it is necessary to evaluate the type of essence, the concentration of this and also other points such as olfactory notes and for what purpose will be used, day to day or special events. Learn more below!

Base yourself on a fragrance you know and like

The first point to consider is the familiarity with a fragrance. To choose the ideal perfume that will accompany you, look for those that can bring you some memory and that are already registered in your sense of smell as a taste.

This greatly facilitates the process of choosing the ideal perfume, because by understanding which fragrances you like the most, it is possible to narrow down the possibilities of perfumes. By defining the type of fragrance among the various offers that you like the most, it is possible to move on to the other more complex points of choosing your ideal perfume.

Consider the type of perfume (EDP, EDT, EDC) and its duration on the skin

This is a slightly more complicated process of choosing the ideal perfume. In this case you also need to consider the duration of arome on the skin, and this will depend entirely on the concentration of essences present in it.

That is why there is a specific classification to determine the concentration of the essences that will be diluted in the alcohol and in the water used to create the perfume. It is very important to consider this aspect because it will determine whether the perfume has longer lasting or not, and with this classification it will be much easier to understand if the perfume pleases you or not.

Parfum: The highest concentration of perfume

This is the highest concentration type of essence, in this case is between 20 to 40%, and the fixation of these perfumes can be up to 24 hours. And in this case, they will be the perfumes of higher cost. Therefore, these are perfumes suitable for those looking for lasting and striking essences, in general.

There is a greater investment in the purchase of these perfumes therefore also end up being indicated for people who are willing to spend a little more, however by being stronger as the essence end up being lasting perfumes which is an excellent benefit before the cost of these.

Eau de Parfum: high concentration

The concentration of essences of perfumes classified as Eau de Parfum is about 15 to 25%, and these perfumes still have a very long lasting fixation on the skin. In this case, they are perfumes that can stay intact on the skin for 8 to 12 hours.

In addition, they are also some of the best-selling imported female perfumes in Brazil, because they have a strong fragrance that remains on the skin for a considerable time.

Taking these aspects into consideration, they also end up being more indicated for those looking to invest in a good perfume that is long-lasting both in application and performance.

Eau de Toilette: Intermediate concentration

The perfumes that are classified as Eau de Toilette are considered by many as weaker, and in fact they end up being because they have the concentration of essences between 8 to 12%, which consequently makes them perfumes with a lower fixation, about 6 to 8 hours duration.

Due to this fact, they have softer fragrances, which for many people are not ideal, but for those who prefer milder perfumes this type of perfume is ideal, because they do not leave a very striking smell at the same time that are noticed softly on the skin.

Eau de Cologne: Low concentration

The perfumes that are classified as Eau de Cologne are those that have a much lower concentration of essences in their composition. They are considered as colonies, because the percentage varies between 2 to 5% and the durability of the perfume in the body is much lower than the others, with only 2 hours.

They are suitable for day to day and short walks, so when choosing for a perfume with this classification keep in mind that they are much weaker than the others.

Splash: The lowest concentration of perfume

Also known as body splash, the perfumes that receive this classification are the softest and mildest of all. The purpose of this type of perfume is to ensure a refreshment to the body. In this case they count with about 3 to 5% maximum of essences in its composition and may even be lower than that.

The perfumes of the Splash type have a low fixation, and in this case can be a more viable option for people who want to keep perfumed throughout the day making a replacement taking in the backpack or handbag.

Know the olfactory families to find and find the right feminine perfume for your profile

Perfumes have specific categories, which are the olfactory families. These are sets of essences that have specific characteristics and linked to their type of classification.

Eastern: take spices in their composition and are warmer and with strong aromas.

Cyprus: combines citrus notes with elements such as oak moss, intense and striking.

Gorumand: differentiated perfume, with notes of vanilla, chocolate, caramel and others.

Vial size should match the frequency of uses and concentration

The volume of the bottle should take into account how the perfume is used and the frequency of that. That is why it is important to follow the first steps regarding the concentration of essences, as this will make a difference in the amount of the glass and its use.

It is common that female perfumes, especially the imported ones, are produced in bottles of 30, 50 and 150 ml. The ideal for people who use the perfume every day is to choose one between 80 and 150 ml. In case the use is more sporadic, around 30 to 50ml will already be enough for a good time.

Think about occasions where you will use the perfume to make the right choice

The occasion in which the perfume will be used should also be considered in the choice process, precisely because of the situation that the fragrance should match the moment. For the day to day, the ideal is to opt for lighter and softer perfumes, the floral ones are an excellent option.

For events like parties and dinners, the ideal is to choose perfumes that are more striking, even sensual, such as oriental and woody.

Check the top, heart and bottom notes to know the true fragrance of the perfume

To know in depth the chosen fragrance, it is necessary to evaluate other aspects of this, because they are built in a particular way through the so-called pyramids of olfactory notes. By knowing these notes, it is easier to understand the aroma of each perfume and how it will stand out.

Head notes: These are the first aromas to be felt when the perfume is sprayed, lasting about 10 minutes in general. They are notes of fruit and cause an impact right away.

Heart notes: These are the middle notes that will only appear when the evaporation occurs, which happens around 2 to 6 hours. They are responsible for giving more personality to the perfume, and are composed by flowers.
