Choosing The Right Perfume
Choosing the right perfume is a highly personal endeavour. Perfume is not just a scent; it reflects our personality and can be deeply connected to our individuality. As mentioned in my previous post on fragrance scents, it’s important to note that perfume can have a different scent on each person due to the uniqueness of our skin.
Factors like using body lotion before applying perfume, having a shower beforehand, or having dehydrated skin all contribute to the way a fragrance smells on us. These elements come together to create a unique olfactory experience for everyone.

Within each of these fragrance families, there will be sub-fragrances.

Floral
Fragrance FM number 21 is a captivating blend of floral, fruity, and citrus notes. It belongs to one of the most popular fragrance families in women’s perfumery. Perfumes within this family often feature fresh, floral, soft floral, and floral Oriental notes, making them a beloved choice among women.
On the other hand, FM 33 perfume boasts a delightful combination of lemon, fruity, orange, and mandarin notes. This fragrance caters to those who appreciate a sweet scent with a refreshing twist, offering a perfect balance of sweetness and freshness.

Oriental
FM 32 is another beloved fragrance known for its captivating blend of oriental notes. It’s a harmonious mixture of floral, fruity, wood, spice, ambergris, and vanilla notes, creating a rich and inviting scent profile.
It’s worth noting that some fragrances with a prominent vanilla scent can be pretty intense and sweet. If you prefer a more subtle fragrance and aren’t a fan of lovely perfumes, consider opting for a scent with a softer and milder vanilla note. Finding the right balance in a fragrance is essential to ensure it aligns with your personal preferences.
Woody
FM 924, classified in the unisex category, is a trendy fragrance known for its woody notes. These fragrances also contain subtle hints of floral, fruity, and oriental notes, creating a harmonious and versatile scent profile.
This balance makes FM 924 a delightful choice for both men and women. It strikes a perfect middle ground, offering a fragrance that’s neither overly masculine for women nor excessively feminine for men, catering to a wide range of preferences.

Men’s and women’s perfume
The notes used in men’s and women’s fragrances differ to create distinct scent profiles. Men’s scents often feature musk or woody notes, contributing to their masculinity.
However, it’s not uncommon for men’s fragrances to incorporate subtle hints of flowers or other elements, as seen in some offerings from brands like Tom Ford, where fruity, floral, citrus and woody notes coalesce into fragrances that maintain a masculine character.
In contrast, women’s fragrances frequently blend floral, fruity, and floral notes, resulting in a sweeter and more feminine scent profile.
Interestingly, many women prefer and can confidently wear men’s fragrances, successfully embracing the versatility and appeal of these scents.
When we choose the right perfume concentration
We’ve all encountered the options when purchasing a fragrance, whether in stores or online, where they come in different concentrations.
- Parfum: The most substantial concentration is often the most expensive due to its high concentration of perfume oils, which provide a long-lasting scent.
- Eau de Parfum: This is a common choice among designer fragrances, featuring a substantial percentage of perfume oils that balance longevity and intensity.
- Eau de Toilette: This concentration requires frequent daily application to maintain a fresh scent. It offers a good balance of strength and subtlety.
- Eau de Cologne: This delicate and light fragrance is a favourite of men for its refreshing and mild aroma.
Remember the days when you walked into a large department store, and the cashier would spray you with their latest fragrance? The powerful and lingering scent was left on your skin and accompanied you throughout your shopping trip.
Over time, many stores adopted a different approach by using fragrance strips at their perfume counters. This innovation allowed customers to sample and try several scents simultaneously, offering a more controlled and versatile way to explore fragrances.
However, this approach had a couple of drawbacks. Firstly, it was easy to forget which fragrance was on which perfume strip, and after trying a few, the scents tended to blend, making it challenging to distinguish between them.
Another issue was that while a fragrance might smell delightful on the test strip, the experience could be quite different when applied to one’s skin at home. This discrepancy often led to disappointment and the realisation that the purchased scent wasn’t what we had hoped for, resulting in money spent on a fragrance that would go unused.

Fragrance Scents
We’ve all done it: noticed the lovely fragrance a friend is wearing and found ourselves constantly catching whiffs of their delightful perfume on a night out.
Eventually, curiosity gets the better of us, and we ask our friend which perfume she’s wearing. She just so happens to have the bottle in her handbag, as many women do on a night out, with perfumes often available in smaller sizes for easy carrying.
Many women love to freshen up on a night out, popping into the ladies’ room for another spritz of perfume before returning to the pub or nightclub.
You ask if you can try a little spritz because it smells gorgeous on your friend. It must smell the same on you, right? Let’s consider this from a different angle. You bought the same blouse as your friend because it looked amazing on her the last time you went out together. Seeing her wearing it prompted you to ask where she bought it, so you purchased the same blouse.
Chances are, it will look and feel very different for you. Your shape and height may vary even if you are the same clothing size. No two people are exactly alike; our bodies differ even if we wear the same size clothing. The same principle applies to fragrances. What suits one type of skin won’t necessarily suit another. Each person has a unique scent, so even if a fragrance smells lovely on a friend, it may not fit our skin the same way.

The perfect fragrance scents
My sister and our late mum always wore “Sunflower” by Elizabeth Arden.
It’s a delightful, affordable floral perfume that comes in a simplistic bottle. Sunflowers by Elizabeth Arden was very popular in the early 90s. When our mum passed away, I discovered a brand new, unopened bottle of Sunflowers in her bathroom cabinet as we faced the daunting task of clearing out her home for someone new to move in.
Our mum had a habit of buying two of everything, and unfortunately, she never got around to wearing the new bottle before she passed away. It remained unopened and sealed. I decided to keep it as a keepsake, a reminder of how our mum used to smell.

Fragrance notes of Sunflowers
Top notes: include lemon, orange, blossom, rosewood, mandarin, peach, bergamot and melon.
Heart notes: Rose, pure jasmine, iris root, cyclamen, osmanthus.
Base notes: cedar, musk, amber, moss, sandalwood
I couldn’t bring myself to throw away a brand-new bottle; that just seemed like a waste. Sunflowers were a gorgeous fragrance for my mum and sister, which suited them very well. Sunflowers have a distinctive floral and fruity scent, so one might think that its versatility would appeal to many women. This fragrance family happens to be one of my favourites.
One day, I decided to try the fragrance for myself and experienced a completely different scent on my skin than that of my mom and sister. Let’s say it smelled like garden weeds! I left it on for about 30 minutes, as scents can change once the notes settle, but it didn’t improve. I had no option but to wash it off.
I was left feeling disappointed that my mum’s favourite fragrance didn’t have the same scent on my skin as it did on her and my sister. Even though the collection of fragrance notes on paper appeared to be a delicate mix, it seemed that one or two scents clashed when I sprayed it on my skin.
I kept the bottle for a few years until it ‘turned,’ and I felt there was little reason to keep it, knowing that I would never use it, and it was too late to give it to my sister. A perfume that has gone bad is best to throw away; this is why trying a sample of perfume or aftershave on your skin before making a purchase is essential. It’s the only way to determine if your friend’s scent suits you.

Perfumes, especially luxury and some celebrity brands, can be expensive. Having another bottle in the unused wardrobe is disheartening because you bought it hastily without trying it first.
Some people opt to spray a little into the air before making a purchase, and while it’s another way to get a sense of a scent, nothing compares to trying it on your skin first. Fragrances can enhance our personality, so we must select a perfume that complements our skin and character.
Try before you buy
Trying a scent on your skin before buying is essential.
Chemistry with Your Skin: Fragrances can interact differently with each individual’s skin chemistry. The same perfume can smell different on different people due to variations in body temperature, pH levels, and natural oils. By testing the scent on your skin, you can assess how it develops and whether it complements your body’s unique chemistry.
Evolution of Notes: Fragrances consist of top, middle and base notes that unfold over time. When you apply a scent to your skin, you get to experience the complete evolution of the fragrance. The initial top notes might be enticing, but you need to see how they blend with the heart and base notes to decide if you like the overall composition.
Longevity and Projection: A fragrance’s longevity (how long it lasts on your skin) and projection (how far the scent radiates) are influenced by your skin type and body heat. Testing it on your skin allows you to gauge how long the scent lingers and how it interacts with your body’s natural scent, helping you decide its suitability for your needs.
Allergic Reactions: Some people may have allergies or sensitivities to certain fragrance ingredients. By trying a scent on your skin, you can ensure it doesn’t cause any adverse reactions, such as skin irritation or headaches.
Seasonal Considerations: Weather and climate influence fragrances. Some scents might be better suited for warmer seasons, while others shine in colder weather. Testing a fragrance on your skin in the appropriate season can give you a better idea of how it performs in specific conditions.
Personal Preference: Fragrance preferences are subjective and unique to each individual. A fantastic scent on someone else may not appeal to you similarly. Trying a fragrance on your skin lets you determine if it aligns with your tastes and makes you feel confident and comfortable.
Purchase: Buying a fragrance can be an investment, especially with designer or niche perfumes. Trying a scent on your skin before purchasing gives you more confidence in your decision and reduces the likelihood of buyer’s remorse.
Other perfumes by Elizabeth Arden
Remember to give it time to develop when trying a fragrance on your skin. Wait 30 minutes to an hour to experience the scent’s true character.
If possible, refrain from testing multiple fragrances on the same day, as the scents might mix and interfere with each other. Testing a fragrance on your skin is crucial in finding the perfect scent that complements your unique personality and style.

Fancy Designer Perfume
Have you ever wondered why designer fragrances come in fancy designer perfume bottles? Let’s start with the box. Quite often, a posh box will sit on the shelves of department stores and perfume shops. Immense detail goes into some of these boxes before we’ve even opened them, and then we’re faced with the bottle inside.
Some bottles we see today don’t have an ideal design, such as those in the shape of a woman’s silhouette, a high heel, a man’s torso, or even a star.
Affiliate DisclosureThis post contains affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission if you click on a link and make a purchase at no additional cost. I only recommend products or services I believe in; all opinions are mine. Thank you for supporting this website..Angel Perfume by Thierry Mugler
Bottles such as Angel look lovely, especially if you keep your perfumes on your bedside cabinet or take your scent to spray during the day. However, this design must stay in its box as it won’t stand up independently.
They won’t easily fit inside your clutch bag when you’re going out for the evening. Clumsy, bulky and unnecessary designs are creative but essential.
The perfect bottle requires a lot of detail, and for several reasons, they often come in fancy or elaborate bottles. Let’s take a deeper look.
Good Girl perfume by Carolina Herrera
The Importance of Perfume Bottle Design
Perfume bottle designs are crafted to catch the eye and evoke a sense of luxury and elegance. The intricate and beautiful designs help create a visual appeal that complements the fragrance. Luxury brands, in particular, use fancy bottles as part of their overall branding strategy to convey a sense of exclusivity and sophistication.
The perfume industry is highly competitive, with numerous brands and fragrances available. Fancy bottles help perfumes stand out and create a unique identity. By investing in distinctive packaging, perfume companies can make their products recognisable and memorable to consumers.
Perfumes are often associated with personal experiences, memories, and emotions. The bottle’s design and aesthetics can enhance the perfume’s overall experience and create an emotional connection with the user. A visually appealing bottle can contribute to the pleasure and anticipation of wearing the fragrance.
Perfumes have often been popular, and fancy bottles make them more attractive and desirable as presents. The packaging itself can be seen as an additional gift, adding to the overall value and charm of the product. The perfume receiver may feel a greater appreciation when presented with a beautifully designed bottle, especially if the purchaser has taken the time to find out what type of scent the recipient enjoys.
The Allure of Collectible Perfume Bottles
Some perfume enthusiasts enjoy collecting bottles and displaying them as decorative items. Fancy perfume bottles, especially those from limited editions or prestigious collections, can become sought-after collector’s items.
For collectors, the bottle design may be a significant factor in purchasing a perfume. Many beautiful and creative bottles are on the market today, making them lovely display pieces.
It’s important to note that while the bottle design can be appealing, the quality and composition of the fragrance itself are the most crucial aspects. The choice of perfume should be based on personal preferences and finding the perfect scent for the wearer rather than just the bottle’s appearance.

Fancy designer perfume
Other factors come down to the celebrity creation behind it. Advertisers and celebrities want their products to stand out so customers will notice their designs. They’re not worried about who sees their fancy bottle once it sells.
We don’t invite friends or family to our room to look at our excellent display of fragrances. Yet, as consumers, we are influenced by the packaging and design of the latest perfume.
We should store perfumes in a dark place for longevity. When we have an excellent display of different perfumes sitting proudly on the bedside cabinet, the only people who will see it are our immediate family who live with us.
Some may keep their perfume in its original box, hidden inside the wardrobe, between uses, so the fancy bottle is never on show.
The Real Reasons We Buy Fragrance
Do we buy a fragrance for its design?
No, we don’t, but it’s the first thing we see when shopping, giving us our first influence.
Designer bottles may look pretty on your bedside unit, but if the fragrance doesn’t suit, you could spend £40/50 on an EDT that you’ll never wear. No one likes to waste money, and this is a prime example of how easy it is to spend lavishly on a product we won’t use.
While some consumers are attracted to perfume solely for its bottle design, it is not the primary reason most individuals purchase perfume. The main purpose of buying perfume is to enjoy and wear the fragrance itself. The scent, longevity, and how it interacts with an individual’s body chemistry are typically the key factors influencing perfume purchases.
Bottle design is often a bonus or a secondary consideration. While people may appreciate the visual beauty of a fancy perfume bottle and find it appealing, it is typically not the sole determining factor in their decision to purchase a perfume.
Other important factors include the brand reputation, the fragrance notes, recommendations, personal preferences, and the overall experience of wearing the perfume.
Perfume companies are known to invest considerable effort and resources into designing attractive bottles to enhance the overall product appeal for their buyers. However, the quality and structure of the fragrance itself ultimately determine a perfume’s value and popularity with its customers.
Saving the perfume for the best
We’ve all done it, but it’s money wasted when we keep perfume for a special occasion. What are we paying for when we buy perfume? The fancy packaging or the bottle’s fantastic scent?
Related Article: The Best Perfume For A Wedding Day
People will comment on a fragrance that you’re wearing, regardless of the bottle design. Many men and women recognise a scent, especially if it’s one they wear or are familiar with. No one asks to see the bottle, yet we spend a fortune on the product.
When we learn that other choices won’t break the bank, we appreciate that money can buy more than one bottle if we know where to shop. So, the next time you need a new perfume, remember that simplicity is critical.
At FM World, we have a selection of fragrances for men and women that have simplicity in mind. These fragrances have simple bottle designs, straightforward packaging, and no hefty price tag that many high-end designer perfumes always have.

Struggling To Pay Bills
Struggling to pay bills can create immense stress for millions, as life often revolves around money, no matter how we approach it. It’s the one thing that makes the world go round.
There will always be times when we struggle to pay the bills—a merry-go-round in what we call ‘life.’ Money is necessary for almost everything. Without it, bills remain unpaid, and we can’t afford to buy food, homes, or even take a holiday. The list is endless.

As children, we never truly appreciated the need for money. It was never necessary to learn about its value and all it could bring.
Asking our parents for money—for sweets, new shoes, ballet classes, and the like—was the norm, but as youngsters, we never grasped where that money came from. We knew that for most things we desired as children, our parents’ response was either a straightforward ‘yes’ or ‘no,’ usually accompanied by the refrain, “We can’t afford that.”
The phrase “Money doesn’t grow on trees” was one our parents used. Indeed, it doesn’t. We now use this exact phrase with our kids when they request things.
The challenge nowadays is that it’s not just money for sweets at the local convenience store. It’s funding much larger items such as online games, new bikes, or the latest gadgets featured on the screen.

The 2020 Pandemic: A Devastating Impact on Businesses and Employment
Fast-forward to 2020, when the largest pandemic since the swine flu in 2009-2010 hit us all. The sudden inability to work struck hard, whether we were self-employed or working for an employer. Businesses were closed, put on hold, or forced to shut temporarily, leading to the unfortunate permanent closure of some smaller establishments.
The pandemic significantly damaged businesses that had previously enjoyed great success over several years. The lockdowns affected every individual, regardless of their status or location. At the time, no one knew the full extent of the catastrophe.
Employees found themselves unemployed, and smaller businesses, some just starting before the pandemic, had no means of survival. It’s a common challenge for most companies to incur losses in their first two years of trading. If someone had set up their small business right at the pandemic’s beginning, surviving and continuing trading would have taken a miracle.
Both the young and old were impacted, leading many to seek alternative sources of income. As Christmas approached, the end of 2020 felt isolating. The pressures heightened as we tried to provide our children with as good a Christmas as we always had. Money was tight, and everyone had to reassess how they spent their wages.
Photo ©Fragranceswithlove.com Navigating Financial Challenges: The Rise of Alternative Income Streams During the Pandemic
Millions of people began exploring alternative options to stay afloat during the crisis. The internet, alongside TikTok, became everyone’s best friend, offering avenues to support ourselves and our families. It underscored the importance of not relying solely on one source of income.
Living costs have risen significantly over the years, with continuous everyday expenses. Despite the need to pay for essentials such as food and bills, everyone was in the same boat, questioning how it would be possible.
Working online has often been criticized for not being considered a proper job—one that couldn’t sustain a lifestyle of holidays or adequately cover bills. The pressures of everyday life take a toll on our mental and physical well-being, a reality that became even more apparent over the past 18 months as some struggled to see a way out of such a dark place.
Navigating Economic Challenges: Turning Passion for Perfume into a Source of Extra Income
Although I embarked on my perfume journey long before COVID, my business has provided a means for those needing extra money—gifts, home decor, outstanding bills, or a bit of luxury for a holiday. Perfume and aftershave are essentials for many women and men.
Even as we put the pandemic behind us, aware that it still lingers in the background, we fast forward to 2022. Just as we celebrate the resurgence of businesses, the return to socializing, and the revival of activities we once took for granted, we are struck by another blow—the price of fuel skyrockets, prompting us to explore alternative ways of travel to avoid frequent refuelling.
Weeks after grappling with the fuel crisis, we are hit again before fully recovering from the aftermath of the pandemic. The cost of living soars to unprecedented levels, plunging us into panic mode as we consider buying only the essentials for everyday living.
Energy bills reach the highest we have ever known, and the winter months, which would typically feel bleak, become even more challenging as we adjust to this new way of living.
Working with a company that offers unique fragrances for personal use and recommends them to friends, family, or colleagues provides an opportunity to supplement your income. Helping others save money on their purchases opens up even more possibilities.
If you are passionate about perfume, cosmetics, skincare, candles, etc., always have your phone at hand, and want to earn extra money for anything, it’s never too late to have a backup plan.
We’re all facing the same challenges of paying dramatically increased bills, and if we can assist one another in relieving that pressure, it will contribute to a better world.
We’re dedicated to helping others. So, if you’ve been searching online for easy ways to earn extra income or just a bit of money, I’d love to hear from you. No super skills are required for working online—training is provided. We all recommend products, films, and restaurants to our friends and family, but we usually don’t get paid.

What Is Perfume Sillage?
What is perfume sillage? Many have heard the term but may not have given it a second thought when it comes to perfume. Recall those instances when you’ve been out with a group of women and first noticed the amalgamation of fragrance scents.
All those fragrance notes are mixed, not necessarily in a delicate floral way, and the stronger ones seem to linger more. A recipe for a potentially unpleasant night’s headache, perhaps?
It’s not a term we encounter when discussing perfume; perhaps people use different words for the same concept. So, what does it mean?
Understanding Perfume Sillage: The Lasting Impact of Your Signature Scent
Pronounced “see-yazh,” perfume sillage is simply the trail a perfume leaves once applied to the skin. Derived from the French word “wake,” many more robust fragrance notes will do just that!
Imagine you have just sprayed your favourite perfume. As you leave the room, someone else walks in and immediately notices the lingering scent that your perfume has left behind. This fragrance lingers in the air even after you have departed. It’s important to note that we don’t necessarily need to wear strong perfume for this to happen. Each of us has a favourite fragrance, and our senses become accustomed to its scent with frequent use.
As this happens, we may no longer notice its impact on those around us. When we get accustomed to our favourite fragrance, we tend to spray more of it on, thinking that by doing so, we’ll be more aware of its presence.

The Power of Fragrance: How Your Scent Impacts Those Around You
We often forget or may not realise that our scent can significantly impact those around us. A few years ago, I parked my car at the doctor’s office. A distinct fragrance filled the air as I walked towards the entrance and immediately recognised it.
I knew right away that one of my friends was already inside the doctor’s office, simply from the lingering perfume notes. When I entered the waiting room, there she was. I couldn’t help but smile and mention that I had sensed her presence before seeing her. It’s remarkable how powerful fragrances can be, leaving a lasting impression on ourselves and those around us.
Making a Lasting Impression: The Impact of a Signature Scent
Entering a room with a captivating fragrance can make a remarkable impression on others. Have you ever wanted to stand out at a busy party or catch the attention of someone special with a memorable scent?
People often remember us by the fragrances we wear, especially if we consistently choose the same one. It’s important to note that different fragrances have varying degrees of sillage, with some leaving a more pronounced and lasting presence than others.
Opium is undeniably one of those perfumes. It gained immense popularity in the mid-’70s and earned a reputation for being almost too overpowering. Primarily embraced by the older generation, it makes a bold statement and is as iconic as Chanel No. 5.
This fragrance requires a delicate application, as its robust notes leave an unmistakable presence. Wearing Opium is an experience you won’t forget.
With a bold blend of coffee, pink pepper, jasmine, vanilla, cedar, patchouli, and orange blossom, Opium is a perfume that leaves a lasting impression or sends others reaching for headache pills!
Not everyone is suited to the same scent, and overpowering, strong fragrances are only suitable for a select few.
If you prefer a soft and subtle fragrance, explore my post on Choosing the Right Perfume, where I highlight the fragrance wheel to help you select the perfect scent.
Delicate scents are much more suitable for those looking for a fragrance more suitable for children, perhaps as a birthday gift. Check out my post on what to look for in Fragrances For Children to discover a selection of softer scents.

Conclusion
Perfume sillage plays a crucial role in the overall experience of wearing a fragrance. It refers to the trail or aura left by perfume as it diffuses in the air and lingers around the wearer. Understanding the concept of perfume sillage helps perfume lovers make informed choices when selecting fragrances that align with their preferences and the occasion.
The intensity of sillage varies from perfume to perfume, with some fragrances boasting a strong projection that fills a room while others exhibit a more subtle and close-to-skin presence. The choice is yours. Several factors, including the concentration of perfume oils, the quality of ingredients, and the fragrance’s composition, determine a perfume’s sillage.
Perfumes with excellent sillage are perfect for those who enjoy being noticed and leaving a lasting impression. You will certainly get heads turning as those around you smell the aroma of your perfume.
These scents enhance a personal style and create an alluring aura. On the other hand, individuals who prefer a more intimate and subtle fragrance experience may opt for perfumes with moderate to low sillage, ensuring that their scent remains within their personal space.
Perfume sillage also adds a sense of confidence and self-assurance to the wearer. A well-chosen fragrance with good sillage can become a signature scent and leave a memorable impression on others. It is a form of non-verbal communication that allows individuals to express their personality, mood, and style without saying a word.
It’s important to note that while sillage is essential, we should use perfume with consideration for others. Over-applicating a fragrance with a powerful sillage can become overwhelming in specific settings, such as closed spaces or crowded environments.

As with any fragrance aspect, moderation and awareness of one’s surroundings are crucial to ensuring a positive olfactory experience for oneself and those around them. Less is more, too. Perfume sillage adds an enchanting dimension to the art of fragrance. It contributes to the overall sensory experience, leaving a captivating trail and making a lasting impression.
Whether you prefer a bold statement to get you noticed or a more subtle approach, perfume sillage allows everyone to enhance their scent wardrobe with confidence and finesse.

Long-Lasting Fragrances
When it comes to long-lasting fragrances, one frequently asked question revolves around whether FM World scents last as long as designer fragrances. Given their distinctive bottles, packaging, and perfume scents, it’s a valid question.
Drom creates long-lasting fragrances.
FM employs the same oils used in designer fragrances when creating long-lasting fragrances. They achieve this without relying on celebrity endorsers, TV adverts, in-store assistance, or extravagant packaging and bottles. Consequently, there is no need to dilute the oils, allowing them to use pure oil in all their fragrances.
If you were to examine a designer fragrance on your bedside cabinet, you’d often find that it’s an Eau de Toilette (EDT) rather than a pure perfume. Owning a Pure bottle of designer fragrance can be quite costly, typically ranging from £150 to £200, depending on the celebrity associated with the fragrance.

Why We Save Designer Fragrances for Special Occasions
Given their hefty price tag, it’s no surprise that those designer fragrances often sit on the bedside cabinet, waiting for a special occasion. They come out for parties, weddings, and celebrations. The average workday may not always justify wearing an expensive bottle of perfume. Let’s look at other reasons why we may save our perfume for a special occasion.
Sentimental Value: Perfumes are often associated with memories and emotions. Some women may have a perfume that holds sentimental value, perhaps related to significant events or milestones. Using it on special occasions can enhance the emotional impact of those moments.
Limited Editions or Expensive Perfumes: If someone owns a limited edition or expensive perfume, they might use it sparingly to make it last longer. These fragrances are often considered luxurious and are reserved for special events or occasions to make the experience more exclusive.
Longevity of Fragrance: Some women may perceive that saving a perfume for special occasions helps maintain its longevity. They might believe using it sparingly will make the scent last longer on the skin and in the bottle.
Association with Dressing Up: We see perfume as the finishing touch for dressing up for a special event. Applying a favourite fragrance becomes a ritual that complements the preparation experience for a special occasion.
Preserving the Unique Character: Some individuals associate specific scents with certain occasions. They may want to maintain the uniqueness of those scents by using them exclusively during those times, which helps create a distinctive olfactory memory associated with special events.
Conserving the Product: Perfume enthusiasts might be mindful that fragrances, like any other beauty product, have a shelf life. By using perfume selectively, they aim to extend the product’s life and prevent it from expiring or losing its original qualities.
Gucci-Flora 
Daisy- Marc Jacobs 
The One – Dolce & Gabbana Ultimately, deciding to save perfume for special occasions is a personal choice influenced by individual preferences, emotions, and associations. Some individuals may use their favourite fragrances daily, while others prefer to reserve them for extraordinary moments. It’s a matter of personal taste and the value placed on the sensory experience of wearing a particular scent in specific contexts.
FM Fragrances: Pure, Long-Lasting Elegance
FM has eliminated the middleman and bypassed the extras associated with designer fragrances, so it is in a prime position to use pure oil. Customers who purchase a bottle of FM fragrance receive a pure perfume with 20% perfume oil.
The fragrance will last much longer—approximately 6 to 8 hours with a higher percentage in the bottles. Additionally, there is a selection of fragrances with 30% perfume, classified as the intense range. You can read more about Drom fragrances and where it all began.

High Street Perfumes
Perfumes have been a part of human history and culture for centuries and have evolved into an essential accessory we all use today. Whether for men or women, high-street perfumes are created for personal pleasure or to leave a lasting impression. A well-scented fragrance can be a powerful tool.
However, luxury fragrances from high-end brands often carry a hefty price tag, leaving many perfume enthusiasts searching for more affordable alternatives. High street perfumes offer a charming solution that brings delightful scents to all fragrance lovers without breaking the bank.
What is High Street Perfume?
High-street perfume refers to fragrances available on the high street, where a wide range of stores, including popular brands and independent retailers, can be found. These perfumes are affordable and accessible fragrance options in many mainstream stores. As such, they are a favoured choice for budget-conscious consumers.

This improvement has provided consumers with an extensive selection of fragrances to suit every taste. Whether it’s a daytime scent for work or a more intense fragrance for a night out, we all have our favourites and want them to be budget-friendly.
While luxury brands have their unique appeal, high-street perfumes offer diverse scents, from floral and fruity to woody and oriental, catering to a wide range of preferences.
