A perfume that smells amazing on one person may smell completely different on another. This is due to body chemistry, not the fragrance itself.

Factors That Affect Scent

Skin Type

Oily skin holds fragrance longer than dry skin.

Body Temperature

Warmer skin amplifies fragrance projection.

Diet & Hydration

Certain foods and hydration levels influence skin scent.

How to Test a Perfume Properly

  • Apply to clean skin

  • Wait at least 30 minutes

  • Smell over several hours

Final Thought

Choosing fragrance is personal — trust how it evolves on your skin, not someone else’s.
