01
EDT, EDP, and Parfum
EDT is usually lighter and fresher. EDP generally has more depth and staying power. Parfum is often richer and more concentrated. The actual performance still depends on the specific fragrance.

No vocabulary test required—just the basics that help you find a fragrance that fits your life.
02
Read the scent profile
The first accord is the strongest overall impression. Fresh, citrus, and aquatic profiles usually feel cleaner; amber, vanilla, tobacco, and warm-spicy profiles often feel richer or more evening-ready.
03
Use the heat guide
Heat factor is a practical wear guide. Lower ranges suit cooler days; higher ranges handle warmth better. It is not a rule—your skin and how many sprays you use still matter.
04
Start with 5 mL
Try a sample when you are unsure. Wear it a few times before committing to a full bottle, especially when choosing a stronger, sweeter, or more unusual fragrance.
05
How many sprays?
Start with 2–4 sprays. Use fewer for powerful fragrances and more for lighter ones. Applying to clean, moisturized skin helps scent last longer without overspraying.
06
Buying a gift
Fresh, clean profiles are generally the safest blind-buy. For a bolder gift, choose based on where they spend time: work, school, nights out, or colder-weather events.
