Choosing a perfume is not important for many people. They often see it as a functional product that makes them smell good. They usually have one perfume and they remember to spray a little before they go to a party or on a date. The bottle stays on the dressing table for months or years until they throw it away because they believe it has gone bad after a year or two.
When you own only one perfume, you don’t have much choice – you are either perfumed or not. And this choice is determined by whether the place or occasion requires it. But there are also people who perceive perfumes as a source of personal pleasure and own a whole collection.
And the question arises – how many perfumes do we need? The answer is not definite, but to make it easier for you, we will list the most popular varieties and occasions:
1. Summer fragrance
The hot weather affects perfumes: it reduces their longevity but also enhances them, which means that heavy perfumes with a woody or muscle notes are not suitable. Fresh marine, green, herbal, and citrusy notes combine perfectly with high temperatures.

3. Evening fragrance
Most often we choose strong, remarkable fragrances for evening dates. Notes such as vanilla and musk are considered sensual, but we would also like the perfume to be felt throughout the whole evening. This can be achieved with notes such as vetiver and amber which are famous for their longevity.

4. Office fragrance
We all know how hard it is to choose the right outfit for work. Choosing the right fragrance is as difficult as that. Strong perfumes are not the most appropriate for this occasion. Instead, you should choose light, clean citrusy fragrances that are barely noticed and won’t suffocate your colleagues.
