The pleasant fragrance seems to have good and bad memories tagged to it. Perfume plays a big role in humans mind in triggering the memories associated with it. Buying a perfume might seem easy but it is not so. There are so many brands and varieties that selecting one is a difficult task.

Below are some points that will help you pick up the right perfume for you.

Brand

There are numerous brands of perfumes available today. Big brands that make fragrances fall under luxury items. A really good brand will have perfumes based on gender, occasion, day, night, season and more. Specification such as ingredients of the perfumes like the type of oil used is mentioned by reputed makers. This will help shoppers to know if it is safe for daily use or can it cause any harm to their skin if used directly. Good brands will be very clear about everything and thus will make sure that you have trust in the brand in terms of quality of the perfume.

Price

Perfumes are supposed to stay on for long. How long a perfume can last depends on many factors. Cheap perfumes will not last long. The more the price, the better is the perfume. If you are looking for a specific perfume that falls under the category exclusive, then the prices will be very high as such exotic fragrances are made with hand-picked materials and the smell is very long-lasting and above all unique.

Fragrances Vary from Person to Person

One important characteristic of perfume that many don’t know about is that it does not smell the same on everyone. Once the perfume is applied on an individual body, the fragrance will change depending on the person’s skin type, body odour etc. What we smell on an individual might not be the same when used by you or someone else. This is why it is very important to try perfume and wait for some time to get the final smell before purchasing the bottle.

Eau De Parfum or Eau De Toilette

There is 2 variation of perfume, one is Eau De Parfum or EDP and the other is Eau De Toilette or EDT. The main difference among the 2 is the concentration of the perfume oil used. EDT is lighter and uses 20% of the fragrance oil and thus is much cheaper than EDP which used 60% of the fragrance oil. EDP will last longer and the fragrance is very strong. EDT has a strong top note which usually has a refreshing quality. When shopping for perfume, knowing when it will be used most of the time is important. For summer, a perfume with strong notes is a good choice and for winter lighter milder notes can be very effective.
