Supreme perfumes are known as perfumes, and they include different types of fragrances that can be used on different occasions and with different people. They are, therefore, classified according to the degrees of concentration of the fragrance, and they include:
Perfume supers
This is the strongest fragrance, and this is because it has the highest concentration of fragrance oils, usually 20-30%, diluted with alcohol and water. Because of this concentration, perfume supers are usually longer, taking 6-8 hours, and this means they do not require application. Perfume supers are especially suitable for evening or formal wear when a longer lasting scent is desirable.
Eau de parfum
This is very similar to perfume supers, but the concentration of fragrance oils is usually lower, around 15-20%. Eau de Parfums last 4-6 hours on the skin and can be worn for special occasions or daily use, depending on the strength of the particular fragrance.
Eau de tollet
This is the most commonly used fragrance and is characterized by a lower concentration, usually 5-15% fragrance oils. While EDTs are less concentrated than EDPs, they still offer a pleasant scent that can last for several hours, usually around 3-5 hours. Eau de Toilettes are often preferred for daytime use or casual wear, as they are lighter and fresher.
Eau de cologne
This is a lighter fragrance with even lower concentration, usually 2-4% fragrance oils. They offer a very brief scent experience, typically lasting around 1-2 hours. They are often used in men's grooming products and have a refreshing quality that makes them suitable for a quick, light scent application.
Body sprays
These have the lowest concentration of fragrance oils, usually 1-3%. The lighter concentration means that body sprays tend to last only around 1-2 hours. Body sprays are designed for overall use and are often found in products intended for a quick, refreshing香りapplications, such as Mists for the body.
Fragrance family
The choice of perfume super comes first from the preferred fragrance family. Fragrances are grouped into families, and these families are citrus, floral, fougere oriental and woody, each having its own unique characteristics. Citrus fragrances are usually fresh and lively, and most suitable during the day. Floral fragrances are romantic and sweet and are mostly suitable for women. Fougère combines herbal and floral scent and is mostly green and natural, while oriental fragrances are rich and exotic and are mostly warm and spicy. Woody fragrances are earth and smoke-based and are suitable for masculine and feminine.
Occasion
The supers are mostly chosen for the events they are meant to attend. Light and fresh fragrances are suitable for daytime, especially at work or in a meeting. Evening occasions require darker, stronger scents that are preferred for supper and parties. Seasonal factors should also be considered, as some fragrances are suitable for summer and some for winter.
Skin chemistry
Perfumes react differently to different people's skins, and that's why it's advisable to test a certain fragrance before buying it. Fragrance molecules usually mix with the natural oils on the skin, and this can alter the scent. Keen observation is, therefore, required during the testing of fragrance. Apply it on the wrist, let it settle, and slightly smell it to see if it matches the body's natural smell.
Concentration and longevity
Different perfume products have different concentrations of fragrance oils, hence varying degrees of longevity. Perfumes have the highest concentration, followed by EDP, EDT, and others, ending with body mists and sprays. For longer wear, a higher concentration fragrance product should be considered.
Brand reputation and reviews
The performance of a brand may help in narrowing down the choice of perfume super, though it cannot be used as the only determinant. Established brands may have a history of quality and consistency in their fragrance products. Online reviews and ratings can also provide insights into the popular opinion of a particular scent and its lasting ability and quality.
Application
The effectiveness and appeal of perfume supers highly depend on the manner in which they are applied. The first, pulse points, is where blood vessels are located just below the skin surface, and they are usually warm. They are behind the earlobes, at the base of the neck, in the wrist, inside, at the elbows, in the knees, and in the chest. This area should be the center of fragrance application since they help in projecting the scent effectively. Secondly, Fragrance is best applied on hydrated skin because moisture helps in locking the fragrance for a longer time. Therefore, it is advisable to apply fragrance immediately after taking a shower and moisturizing the skin.
Layering
Another effective way of increasing the wear and enhancing the scent profile of perfume super is by fragrance layering. This requires the use of complementary scented products like lotions, deodorants, and body oils to match the scent. This does not only make the perfume last longer but also intensifies its presence. Moreover, one needs to ensure that the layered products are unscented, or they do not clash with the fragrance; otherwise, they would dull the fragrance.
Avoid rubbing
Perfume supers are quite concentrated, and caution should be observed when applying them so as not to apply in excess. Many people assume that rubbing fragrances into the skin increases their absorption. This is totally wrong. Rubbing only causes the top notes to evaporate, which are usually the notes intended to give the fragrance its appeal.
Testing
Acquiring perfume supers devoid of testing them is never a good idea, as the fragrance may not respond well to the skin. It is recommended to spray a small amount on strips of paper and let it settle, then smell it. While testing, only test a maximum of three fragrances, as the sense of smell gets easily overwhelmed. Also, when buying, consider scents that you wear often, as this will help retain familiarity with the fragrance.
Storage
Preserving the quality of perfume supers requires proper storage. Long exposure to light, heat, and air alters the fragrance, which means that perfume supers should be kept in their original containers and away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. These factors may help maintain the fragrance's integrity and strength.
High-quality ingredients
Perfume supers use only high-quality ingredients in their making. They mostly use rare and natural extracts that offer richer, more complex scent profiles. Their quality is way better than ordinary perfumes, and this means less chance of skin irritation and allergies.
Long-lasting
Supreme perfumes have higher concentrations of fragrance oils, which means they last longer on the skin and in their surroundings. Most can last 8 hours and, with some, up to 24 hours, making them effective for longer wear without the need for frequent reapplication.
Stronger scent
The higher concentration of perfume supers also means that the scent is more potent. They are bolder and more pronounced that even a single spray can create a desired atmosphere. This makes them ideal for people who want to make a strong impression.
Complexity and richness
Paint perfumes usually contain more notes than regular fragrances, which means they develop better and change over time, giving a different appealing scent at every stage of its wearing. This complexity results in a richer and more sophisticated scent experience that is more enjoyable for both the wearer and those around them.
Luxurious experience
Wearing perfume super creates a sense of luxury and sophistication. They are mostly used by high-end brands and are in most cases sold at premium prices, which makes them feel special and even status.
Versatility
Most perfume supers are unisex and, therefore, can be worn by any gender regardless of their masculinity or femininity. This versatility means that the fragrances are good for a wide range of occasions and settings and are favored by many.
When choosing perfume to supers, one should consider the occasion, the season, the time of the day, the place he/she will be, and the preferred fragrance family. All these will help to select a scent that is appropriate and will last longer on the skin.
Perfume supers contain high-quality essential oils, organic ingredients, and natural extracts like floral, woody, fruity, and musk.
The best way to do this is by layering the scent with unscented moisturizers, oils, or with the perfume as one tries to avoid rubbing the applied area. The products will help the fragrance bind to the skin, hence longer wear.
They should be applied to pulse points where the blood vessels are close to the surface, such as on the inner wrists, neck, behind the earlobes, and inside elbows. This allows the fragrance to diffuse naturally and increases its longevity.
They have characteristics that can be worn by both gender sexes. They do not lean too heavily toward masculine or feminine notes but instead contain a balanced combination of floral, woody, fresh, and oriental elements that appeal to everyone.
