Everything You Need to Know About Choosing The Perfect Fragrance

 Let me preface by saying that there is no perfect fragrance, what I mean by the perfect fragrance is choosing the right fragrance for you. Perfumes are like anything else meaning almost every person will have a different reaction to the same product, and shopping for perfumes unfortunately is largely decided by the look of the perfume bottle and the price of the product, and the most obvious reason for buying a perfume which is the scent is often overlooked or deemed relatively unimportant in the choosing process. Below we will provide you with a questioning process that will help you better understand your scent needs.

The 1st question to better understand this should be: What is my style or aesthetic that I am leaning towards? Is it bold, modern, artsy, cheery, business casual, elegant, or chic? The style choices are almost endless but truly decoding and understanding your everyday aesthetic can help a lot in the perfume picking process. The second question aiding in this process is: What is a scent that you naturally gravitate towards? Is it the smell of citrus, flowers, musk, or something else? This can help you narrow down the scent even more. Last but not the least, what is the occasion for which the perfume is being bought, is it office wear, going out drinking, special occasions such as weddings Perfume or birthdays, or is it for everyday use.

Once you have the above three figured out, you can dive deep into the magical world of fragrances with a solid foundation as to what you are looking for. After asking yourself the three questions, you should investigate the concentration of the perfume that would fill your needs. There are 4 varying levels of concentration, and they are named accordingly:


1. Parfum or Perfume is the highest concentration with a concentration above 20%, lasting 12 hours. This is also usually the most expensive due to its level of concentration.
2. Eau de Parfum contains the second-highest concentration of perfume, with a concentration between 15-20%, lasting around 6 hours.
3. Eau de Toilette contains the third-highest concentration of perfume and usually ranges between 5% to 15% concentration, lasting upto 4 hours.
4. Eau de Cologne has the lowest perfume concentration, below 5 % concentration lasting only for about 2 hours.

Once you have decided the concentration that you would like to invest in, visit or order testers and sample kits from brands that closely align with your needs. This is a must, especially when planning to buy costly fragrances (i.e., parfum or Eau de Parfum), make sure you test the fragrance and keep it on for one day at least, to see how long the fragrance lasts, how it settles on your skin, how the notes feel after certain time periods.

This should give you enough information to make an informed decision and fall in love with fragrances like never before. We here at 3003BC also offer an AI tool that helps create a personalized perfume for men and perfume for women just for you by taking your interests, and other personality traits along with occasions, to craft the perfect fragrance for you. A scent that defines you.

  Perfumes are a perfect addition to any outfit and can accentuate any personality in a positive manner. To do this however one must know how to apply perfumes correctly so that they can reap the benefits of this magical elixir. We will look at some techniques that have been tried and tested to make your fragrance last longer and preserve the integrity of your scents. 1.          Do: Apply directly to your skin - “The oil-loving properties of the skin make it the perfect medium for the perfume oils to attach to” says Matthew Milèo, a chemist, and former in-house fragrance expert for Chanel, “ the warmth of the skin starts the unravelling process and the scent is free to fully express itself.” For a powerful scent-to-skin adhesion, try layering perfume over body lotion or oil. 2.         Don’t: Apply to your hair - Most individuals want hair that smells amazing that’s why the current emphasis is on well-scented shampoos and conditioners. This does not transfer well when applyin
