How do I choose the right perfume for me?

Choosing a perfume depends on your personal preferences, mood, and the occasion. Think about the types of scents you enjoy (e.g., floral, woody, citrus) and when you’ll be wearing the perfume. If you’re unsure, take our Scent Quiz or try purchasing a sample set to explore different fragrances.

What are top, heart, and base notes in perfumes?
  • Top Notes: The initial scent you smell when you first apply the perfume. These are usually lighter, fresher scents like citrus or herbs and evaporate quickly (within 15-30 minutes).
  • Heart Notes: Also called middle notes, these appear as the top notes fade and form the core of the fragrance. Common heart notes include floral, fruity, and spice scents.
  • Base Notes: The longest-lasting part of the fragrance that remains after the heart notes fade. Base notes are typically rich and deep, like sandalwood, vanilla, musk, or amber.
How long does perfume last on the skin?

The longevity of a perfume depends on its concentration, your skin type, and the environmental conditions. Generally, Rush 95 lasts 4-6 hours, while Noir may last 2-4 hours. Fragrances with stronger base notes, like musk or wood, tend to last longer.

How should I apply perfume for the best results?
To get the most out of your fragrance, apply perfume to pulse points where the skin is warm, such as the wrists, neck, behind the ears, and the inside of elbows. These areas help diffuse the fragrance throughout the day. Avoid rubbing your wrists together, as this can break down the scent molecules.
Can perfume stain my clothes?
Some perfumes, especially those with darker oils or strong pigments, can stain light-colored fabrics. To avoid this, apply perfume directly onto your skin and allow it to dry before getting dressed. Be cautious when spraying perfume on delicate fabrics like silk.
Why does perfume smell different on my skin compared to someone else’s?
Body chemistry plays a big role in how a perfume smells on your skin. Factors like skin type, pH levels, diet, and even the weather can influence how the fragrance develops and lasts. It’s always best to try a perfume on your own skin before deciding if it’s right for you.
Does perfume expire?

Yes, most perfumes have a shelf life of 3-5 years, depending on the ingredients. Over time, exposure to air, light, and heat can alter the scent. If your perfume has changed in color or smells off, it may be time to replace it.

Can I layer different perfumes?

Yes, layering fragrances is a great way to create a unique, personalized scent. Start with lighter scents as the base (such as citrus or floral) and layer stronger scents (like woody or spicy) on top. Experiment with combinations to find one that suits you.

How do I make my perfume last longer?

To maximize the staying power of your fragrance:

  • Apply it right after a shower when your skin is still moist.
  • Use unscented lotion or petroleum jelly on pulse points before applying perfume to lock in the scent.
  • Reapply throughout the day, especially on pulse points, if needed.
