Some people have a signature scent that makes you think of them right away. Some people have a perfume wardrobe, picking a different scent for every mood, occasion or season. Whichever category you fall into, finding a perfume that suits you isn't about picking the most popular bottle on the shelf. It’s about a scent that’s intimate.

If you ever wondered how to choose a perfume, why some scents smell different on different people, or how to find one that really fits your personality, this is the one for you.

Whether you’re buying your first Eau de Parfum or adding another luxury fragrance perfume to your collection, here’s all you need to know before you buy.

Choose the Right Fragrance for You

Every perfume belongs to a fragrance family that defines its overall character, helping you discover perfumes for women and men with scents you'll naturally enjoy wearing. 

Floral

In case you are fond of soft, romantic, and elegant fragrances, floral perfume will be the most appropriate one. Built around fragrance notes of rose, jasmine, and lily, these perfumes can be used every day or during special events or occasions.

Some of our Floral favourites also are: Lady In Silver Body Mist, Miami Nights Body Mist, and Vivah Eau De Parfum.

Citrus

Citrus fragrances are a good option in case you want bright and refreshing scents that are clean and energising. They contain notes such as lemon, bergamot and orange and are suitable to wear during the day and in the warm weather.

Green

Green scents give a fresh and natural feeling. They are made using notes based on leaves, herbs and fresh-cut grass, for a revitalizing experience

This is well embodied in green perfumes like Figure It Out Eau De Parfum.

Finally, Check the Label !

Alongside choosing a fragrance profile you enjoy, it is also helpful to consider how fragrances are formulated. Look for recognized certifications and ingredient transparency, like our EDP Perfumes and Body Mists, which are clean, vegan, cruelty-free, and IFRA-certified, so they not only smell amazing but are also good for your skin and the planet making them one of the best fragrance perfume for women and men.

Why Does Perfume Smell Different After an Hour?

If you've ever loved a fragrance initially but noticed it changes later, that's completely normal.

Every perfume is built in three layers:

• Top notes create the first impression and disappear within the first few minutes.

• Middle notes emerge once the fragrance settles and defines its true character.

• Base notes linger the longest, creating the scent that stays with you throughout the day.

This natural evolution is exactly why testing a fragrance on your skin is always better than smelling it directly from the bottle, helping you find the perfume for your personality.

How to Make Your Perfume Last Longer

A few simple habits can help your fragrance perform at its best.

• Spray perfume directly on the pulse points like your wrists, neck and behind your ears.

• Moisturised skin means that fragrance lasts much longer than on dry skin.

• Don't rub your wrists together after spraying as this interferes with the natural development of the fragrance.

• Keep your perfume away from direct sunlight, heat and humidity to preserve its composition.

Choosing a signature fragrance doesn't have to happen in one visit.
