Fragrance as Identity

A perfume is not just a scent: it is an extension of your personality, an invisible trace you leave in every space you inhabit. Choosing the perfect fragrance is an art that combines knowledge, intuition, and self-awareness.

The Three Notes of a Perfume

Every perfume is built in layers, what experts call the "olfactory pyramid":

  • Top notes: These are the first ones you perceive when applying the perfume. Fresh and light, they last between 15 and 30 minutes. They are usually citrusy, herbal, or fruity.
  • Heart notes: The soul of the perfume. They appear when the top notes evaporate and define the main character of the fragrance. Floral, spicy, or woody.
  • Base notes: The most persistent, they can last for hours on the skin. They are the ones that create the trail that defines you: musky, amber, balsamic.

How to Choose Your Fragrance

Before letting yourself be carried away by the first scent that seduces you, keep these factors in mind:

  • Your skin type: Oily skin retains scents better; dry skin absorbs them faster. If your skin is dry, opt for more intense fragrances.
  • The occasion: A perfume for everyday use is not the same as one for a special night. Citrus and aquatic scents work well during the day; oriental and woody ones, at night.
  • The season: In summer, fresh and light fragrances are more pleasant. In winter, warm and spicy perfumes wrap you better.

How to Test a Perfume Correctly

To find your perfect fragrance, follow these steps:

  1. Apply the perfume to the wrist or the inside of the elbow, never rub it.
  2. Wait at least 30 minutes for the perfume to evolve on your skin.
  3. Do not test more than 3 fragrances at a time so as not to saturate your sense of smell.
