finding a new fragrance

As the New Year gets into full swing, you’ve probably been thinking about making some changes, either in line with your new year’s resolutions or to help you feel ready to face the year ahead. Whatever the reason, changing your signature scent or finding a new fragrance can be a great place to start. Wearing a new fragrance can make you feel different and is the perfect way to complement your new look for the coming year.  If you are searching for a new fragrance for 2022 check out our top tips on choosing a new fragrance, where to search for the perfect perfume and how to shop easily for the brands you love.

Choosing a New Fragrance

When selecting a fragrance that is different from your usual scents or favourite fragrance brands, here are a few tips to follow:

  • Don’t try too many new fragrances all at once. Not only will you be confused about which ones you like best but you might not give the scents a chance to develop on your skin. When trying a new fragrance, give it at least 30 minutes to warm to your skin before making a final decision.  Also ensure that you do not spray fragrances you are testing on your skin too close together as their notes will mereg.
  • Remember that fragrance comes in 4 different levels of concentration ranging from Pure Parfum at the highest concentration through to Eau de Parfum (EDP), Eau de Toilette (EDT) and finally Eau de Cologne (EDC). The higher the parfum concentration the longer the life of the fragrance on your skin. A Pure parfum will last most of the day when applied to the wrist or pulse points, whereas an Eau de Cologne will only last a couple of hours.
  • Understand fragrance notes. All fragrance consists of three layers made up of base notes, heart notes and top notes. These combine to give a specific scent. It’s worth looking at the perfumes and aftershaves you currently own or have favoured in the past to see if there’s a theme. For example do you favour floral notes, fresh notes including fruity, green or aquamarine aromas or do you prefer oriental and woody notes? If you want to try something completely different then opt for something that goes against your normal scent profile!  At www.fragrancehouse.co.uk every fragrance will show the fragrance notes and you can even search for specific notes!
  • Never choose a fragrance based on what someone else likes or how it smells on them. Your skin has its own unique hormones and pheromones. So the same fragrance can smell different on you to someone else. That’s why we also recommend testing a fragrance on your skin; letting it warm to you and then deciding whether it suits.
