Understanding a perfume

A perfume has a three-part architecture.

Head notes : that one feels as soon as the vaporization.
Heart notes : which are much more voluptuous and appear only after a few minutes.
Background notes : which are the heaviest and which keep the perfume long.

To remember : one knows the true smell of a perfume only after one hour, when the different notes have revealed ...


The olfactory families

What you should know is that at the design of a perfume, the perfumer does not predetermine whether the fragrance will be masculine or feminine. The technical development of the formula is identical in both cases. So the perfume has no sex!

But when one arrives in perfumery, the cleavage masculine / feminine does exist. So why would you tell me? Just for marketing reasons!

Chypre fragrances
That include bergamot chords, oak moss, rose and patchouli. These fragrances are both rich and stimulating.

The perfumes Hesperides (or fruity)
Which consist mainly of citrus fruits: lemon, orange, mandarin and grapefruit.
This family is that of fresh waters.

Oriental perfumes
Which are a sweet mix of powdered musks, spices, precious amber woods and vanilla.

Floral fragrances
Which combine all essences created from a flower or a floral bouquet with scents such as iris, jasmine, or even thrush.

Woody fragrances
Which correspond either to warm notes like patchouli, or to cooler notes like cedar and pine, sandalwood or vetiver.


Aromatic fragrances
Which are based on the essence of one or more aromatic herbs such as lavender, mint, rosemary or even sage.

To remember : These are not the characteristics of the perfume that direct you to this or that fragrance, but rather your intuition ...


Eau de toilette, perfume or extract: how to find one?

The difference lies in the concentration of the perfume.
The client will make her choice according to her personality.

If you are discreet : Choose instead an eau de toilette that will spray on clothes only but with a generous gesture.

If you are affirmed
: Choose perfume water that leaves a wake after your passage ... Apply on the skin and the clothes

For all women
: the perfume extract is suitable for anyone, whatever our personality. It is a jewel of skin that leaves no wake. It is the most "intimate" concentration and of excellent quality. It hardened extremely long as the skin. That is why a few drops are sufficient on the strategic parts of the body ... Where there are "folds".
