Fragrance according to skin type 

There are different skin types: dry, combination or oily. It is difficult to give trends according to these characteristics, but other factors intervene on the alchemy between perfume and skin:

  • The relief of the skin 
  • The Ph of the skin 
  • The person's activity 
  • The olfactory heritage 
  • The food 
  • Skin temperature 
  • Drugs 
  • The Climate 
  • Seasons 
  • Age

To sum up, the scent of the skin changes according to all of the above factors, and the fragrance itself is very evolutionary. The more natural ingredients there are, the more the fragrance itself will evolve. Over time, the fragrance will change according to another parameter: the volatility of the top, heart and base notes.

 

 

How do you preserve your fragrance?

Test a perfume

Choosing a fragrance is a bit like choosing your olfactory identity, your signature and your slogan. You have to take your time. The more complex and faceted the fragrance, the more intriguing and unique it will be, but the longer it takes for it to evolve on the skin.
So to make sure you don’t make a mistake while choosing, we will give you a few tips on how to test your perfume.


Where to apply a perfume?

In everyday language, we say that we "wear" a perfume, in order to smell good, for ourselves and for others... But when you think about it, wouldn't it also be the perfume that wears us?


Make your perfume last

You've invested in a valuable fragrance and you want it to last. It is not acceptable for you that it lasts only 2 or 3 hours. And that's normal, you want to smell good all day or all night.

Several factors can influence the duration of your perfume.

It is important to pay attention to the following factors to improve the duration of your bottle:

  • The good conservation of your perfume: away from air, light, and heat (see How to conserve your perfume?).
  • The places where you have applied the perfume. Respect the strategic areas of your body: perfume at the 8 pulse points on the skin, apply your eau de toilette or eau de parfum on your clothes (see Where to apply the perfume?).
