Perfume guides

Practical notes for buying and wearing eau de parfum in India. Not a blog of empty lists.

How to choose a perfumeStart with when you will wear it, then pick a note family, then a size. Inspiration names help you recognise a profile. They are not the original bottle.
How to choose perfume for Indian weatherIndian weather is not one climate. Summer, monsoon, and winter ask for different density. Projection also changes indoors versus outdoors.
EDP vs EDTConcentration is oil in alcohol. Eau de parfum usually has more perfume oil than eau de toilette. It is not a promise of a fixed number of hours.
How to make perfume last longerMoisturised skin, pulse points, and cloth hold scent better than dry skin in a wind. More sprays are not always the answer.
How to choose a perfume as a giftAsk about season and setting if you can. If you cannot, pick a smaller size, a unisex wood, or a collection that already matches how they dress.
