What to Look for When Buying a Scent

When you’re shopping for perfume, it’s important to keep in mind that not all scents are created equal.

  • There are different types of scents available, and each one is suitable for different occasions. For instance, while certain fragrances are light and airy, others are heavier and more potent.
  • You’ll also want to take into account the seasonality of a scent. For example, floral scents are perfect for spring and summer, while woodsy scents are better suited for fall and winter.

With all of this in mind, here are a few things to look for when choosing a scent:

  • The type of scent you’re looking for (light/airy subtle vs. heavy/intense)
  • The occasion you’ll be wearing the perfume
  • The seasonality of the scent
  • Your budget
  • If you have any allergies or sensitivities to certain ingredients
  • The longevity of the scent (how long it lasts on your skin)
  • The sillage of the scent (how far it projects from your body)

 

Now that we’ve gone over what to look for when choosing a scent, let’s move on to how to choose the right one for you.
