Are there variations in scent depending on the person?

It is possible to notice slight differences in scent depending on the person.

These differences are due to several factors:

  • Skin type: the fragrance will last longer on oily skin than on dry skin.
  • Soaps and deodorants: some soaps and deodorants can change the scent of a perfume.
  • The pH level: it varies according to people and can therefore vary the scent of a perfume.

What are the various scents of a perfume?

The olfactory pyramid corresponds to the structure of the perfume. It consists of top, middle and base notes. Indeed, the ingredients of a perfume do not all have the same importance and the same persistence, depending on the tone you want to give it. It is this composition, which varies from one perfume to another, which explains why the smell evolves throughout the day.

Indeed, the ingredients of a perfume do not all have the same importance and the same persistence, depending on the tone you want to give it. It is this composition, which varies from one perfume to another, which explains why the smell evolves throughout the day.

At the top of the pyramid are the top notes that emanate from the bottle when uncorked or when vaporized and are expressed in a fleeting but lively explosion of scents. Next come the heart notes, which take longer to develop but are more persistent. And finally, the base notes, much more tenacious: they will accompany you throughout your day or evening. It is all these more or less subtle notes that make up the composition of a perfume and reinforce or limit its attractiveness.

The more prominent the top notes, the fresher and lighter the fragrance. Conversely, if the heart and base notes are more important, the perfume will be richer and more powerful.

Depth of the catalogue?

At Authentic Perfumes, we expand our catalogue every day or every week. Not only do we stock more of the current line but we also expends our catalogue with new brands or with new products from existing brands.
