The more that you know about fragrance scent, fragrance notes, perfumes and how fragrances work, the better able you will be to choose the perfumes and fragrances that best meet your personal needs, tastes and styles. The following are a few of the most frequently asked questions on fragrance notes and other perfume topics, that will help give you a better understanding of the unique hobby of collecting and enjoying perfume and cologne fragrances.

Continued: Is it possible to make a scent last any longer than it already does?

Find different body products that have the same fragrance, such as a fragrance bath gel, then a moisturizer or a powder product, and then the perfume product itself, such as an Eau de Parfum, Eau de Toilette or Eau de Cologne. When you apply the fragrance in layers in this manner, it will usually create a much longer lasting effect. It would also be wise for you to apply fragrance lower on your body so that it can rise throughout the day. Make sure that you also apply it behind your ears as well as on your neck for the best scent distribution. Another way to create a scent that will last all throughout the day is to lightly spray your hair and your clothing, as they are capable of holding the fragrance in all day.

What are the difference between splash perfumes and spray perfumes?

There is actually not a single difference in the fragrance itself. The difference between splash perfumes and spray perfumes only lies in the application. Because a spray bottle is sealed ostensibly all of the time, it may actually have a significantly longer shelf life in comparison to a splash bottle. When you are making the decision between purchasing a spray or a splash, you should know that it comes down to mere personal preference - Choose the application method that suits you in the best possible way so that you will enjoy owning your new fragrance perfume.

Why do fragrances contain traces of alcohol in them?

The alcohol content in the fragrance is what helps the fragrance to emanate from the skin upon application. If there were no alcohol in the fragrance, then you would end up being the only person that knew that you were wearing a fragrance, because the fragrance notes would not be detectable by other people around you to any degree.

How can I prevent the fragrances that I buy from going bad?

You should absolutely keep all of your fragrances in a place that is cool and dry. You should also keep them out of the reach of windows and sunlight, as sunlight exposure is capable of throwing the various perfume notes into imbalance. Once a bottle of fragrance has been opened, it would be wise for you to keep it stored inside of its box in order to stretch out its lifespan a bit more than before.
