Scent of a woman.

To ensure you pick the best one you might want to do some groundwork before going to stores and choosing your fragrance. To start with, you need to know that there are four types of scents. The type can be noticed on the packaging.

  1. Perfume is made up of essential oils and between 78% and 95% of denatured ethyl alcohol.
  2. Eau de Toilette (EDT) is made up of around 8 – 15% of essential oils.
  1. Eau de Parfum (EDP) contains between 15 – 22%, making it longer lasting.
  2. Eau de Cologne (old women scents!) contains only 4% essential oils.

All perfumes have three notes – top note that evaporates first, middle note that develops a little later and finally the base which is the true scent. Choose sheer top notes. Scents can include floral, fruity, woody, earthy, natural, grassy, etc. Focus on the aroma that defines you. (You will also want this to be the base note of your perfume.)
