1. Understanding Fragrance Families: A Foundation for Your Scent Journey
Before diving into individual perfume recommendations, it’s essential to understand the fragrance families. Fragrance families are broad categories that describe the primary characteristics of a scent. Once you know these families, it becomes much easier to choose the right fragrance based on your preferences and the occasion.
Fragrance Families Explained

4. Tips for Making Your Perfume Last Longer
To ensure that your fragrance lasts throughout the day and night, follow these essential tips:
Apply perfume to pulse points—like your wrists, neck, and behind the ears—so it diffuses well with your body heat. Moisturize your skin beforehand to lock in the scent longer. Avoid rubbing the perfume in after spraying, as that can dull the fragrance. And always store your bottles away from sunlight and heat to preserve their quality.
