The fragrance of this class of perfumes lasts for 2-3 hours. It is an excellent choice for the daytime.

What are the types of fragrances

The most popular classification divides perfumery products into several groups or families. It is easier to find your aroma with it. Fragrances from different groups are often mixed:

• Aldehyde ones are created artificially and often do not resemble natural perfume oils. These are pure, exciting scents.
• Floral ones are frivolous and romantic. They cheer up, are appropriate at any time of the year, in the morning and in the evening.
• Chypre ones deep aromas with notes of moss, tree bark, labdanum, bergamot. They have a pronounced sillage and are often suitable for both sexes.
• Animalistic fragrances are characterized by good persistence and strong sensuality. The main ingredient in these compositions is musk.
• A sweet or gourmand Eau de Toilette is based on notes of berries, caramel, vanilla, chocolate, nuts, cream. They soothe and cheer up, warm in the cold, but may seem sugary to others.
• Fruit aromas are similar to real fruits. They are playful, optimistic, best for warm weather. They are versatile, suitable for the office, holiday and dating.
• Plant scents resemble fresh greens, leaves, meadow plants, spring flowers. They feel bright, but not harsh, suitable for work and everyday life.
• Woody scents are created with notes of sandalwood, amber, cedar. They are soft, warm and thin. Leather aromas are similar to them.
• Oriental and spicy ones are a sensual and sweetish combination of woody and floral notes with hints of orchid, spices, musk, vanilla. They are better suited for the evening.
• Citrus aromas are the freshest and most summery, usually based on oils of orange, grapefruit, lime and other citrus fruits.

Persistence depends not only on the type of perfume but also on the composition of Eau de Toilette and the type of smell. The weakest are aquatic and citrus compositions. Floral and fruity aromas stay on the body a little longer. The most long-lasting fragrances include chypre, woody, aldehyde and oriental.

How to choose Eau de Toilette

You can apply the product to the skin or the suggested paper strip – blotter. Once applied, let the alcohol component disappear in a few minutes. Testing many scents at once is not worth it: olfactory receptors lose sensitivity for a while or distort perception. It is advisable to try no more than five flavours.

Consider that Eau de Toilette opens up and lasts differently on different people. The fact is that each of us has our own natural smell and skin characteristics. For example, on dry skin, it loses its brightness faster. On oily, it changes the aroma.
