1. Eau de Parfum (EDP)

Concentration: 15-20%

Longevity: 4-5 hours or more

Application: Apply to pulse points such as the wrists, neck, behind the ears, and inside the elbows. These areas generate heat, which helps the fragrance spread.

2. Eau de Toilette (EDT)

Concentration: 5-15%

Longevity: 2-3 hours

Application: Like EDP, focus on plus points. Because of its light concentration, you may need to reapply throughout the day. You can also spray it into the air and waft through the mist for a more subtle scent.

3. Eau de Cologne (EDC)

Concentration: 2-4%

Longevity: Up to 2 hours

Application: Used more liberally because of its light concentration. Spray on pulse points and clothes for a longer lasting effect. Reapply as needed.

4. Perfume (perfume or extrat de perfume

Concentration: 20-30%

Longevity: 6-8 hours or more

Application: Apply sparingly due to its high concentration. Dab a small amount on the pulse points. Avoid rubbing perfume into the skin as it can alter the scent and reduce longevity.

5. Body mists and sprays

Concentration: 1-3%

Longevity: 1-2 hours

Application: Apply generously all over body including clothes and hair. These are perfect for quick refreshment throughout the day.

General tips for applying perfume:

• Moisturize your skin: Apply perfume to well-moisturized skin, as it holds fragrance better. Use an unscented lotion to avoid clashing scents.
• Layering: Use a body product (lotion, shower gel) with a complementary fragrance to enhance the fragrance and increase its longevity.
• Don't overdo it: less is more. You want the scent to be discovered, not announced. One or two stems is typically sufficient for most fragrances.
• Avoid mixing scents: Stick to one type of scent at a time to avoid a confusing or overpowering smell.
• Apply to clothes: Some fragrances last longer on clothes than on the skin. Remember that some perfumes can stain some fabrics.
• Hair: Wash your hair lightly, but avoid applying too much as the alcohol in perfume can dry it out.

Plus Points:

• The wrists
• neck
• Behind the ears
• Inner elbows
• Behind the knees

By understanding the characteristics of each type of perfume and applying them properly, you can enjoy their fragrance to the fullest and ensure that it lasts throughout the day.
