Is your skin dry or oily? Lighter or darker? Learn how to choose the ideal perfume for each skin type to increase the lasting power of the fragrance.
Have you noticed that the aroma of each perfume changes according to the person’s skin type? It all depends on hormones, oiliness, hydration and even skin color.
That’s why it’s important to know your skin type and pay close attention to its characteristics when buying the ‘ideal perfume’. Ah, remembering that EVERYTHING is a matter of TASTE.
Find out how to choose the ideal perfume for each skin type:
1. Oily Skin
The oil works as a fixative and fragrance amplifier. Therefore, very intense aromas are not very suitable. If this is your skin type, choose fresh citrus or floral bases, which give a feeling of freshness throughout the day.
Furthermore, in general, they do not cause any type of social discomfort, as they are very soft.
Preferring a cologne over an eau de parfum is a good strategy. As it is softer, when it comes into contact with the skin, it leaves the aroma lighter. The more time passes, the more the aromas tend to become intense.
2. Dry Skin
As you can imagine, dry skin retains less fragrance, giving the impression that the perfume is not fixed on the body.
The rough and dry surface cannot contain the notes that make up the fragrance, which is why the ‘stronger’ perfumes are the most recommended.
Perfumes with oriental bases are the most recommended.
3. Normal Skin
When it comes to staying power, normal skin is ideal for any type of perfume. The fragrances act as expected.
In other words, an intense aroma will remain that way for a long time and the same happens with milder ones. Here it just depends on taste!
Generally, women prefer floral scents, but there are no restrictions on fragrances for this skin type.
4. Light Skin
As we said above, skin tone also influences fragrances.
Those with fair skin have less aroma retention power, ideally perfumes with greater durability.
Give preference to good eau de parfum, the original ones (of course!). They are the best alternative, because other types of essences are very light and stick less to the skin.
5. Brunette and Black Skin
Darker skins have a greater capacity to retain fragrances, which is why scents with floral and citrus bases are recommended, which remain constant and pleasant over time.
Both eau de parfum and other types of fragrances work well with this skin type.
