All You Need to Know Before Buying a Perfume
When you smell a perfume for the first time, you like it very much; Has it ever turned into an odor you don’t like after hours? What about after you buy it, you realize how weak its permanence is? Or what does perfume silage mean?
In fact, with certain terms written on all perfumes, it is possible to predict many factors from the intensity of the fragrance to its permanence.
What is the Difference Between EDP and EDT?
We all fall into this divide. In general, as Eau De Toilette perfumes, as well as EDT, are more affordable, EDTs may seem more advantageous, but the result can be disappointing in terms of permanence.
EDT stands for perfume in its lightest form. It contains 1-6% aromatic substance. Alcohol degrees vary between 60-80 degrees. This means low density and weakness as permanence.
EDP, or Eau De Parfum, contains concentrated perfume between 7% and 15%. If there is the phrase Cologne, that is, cologne; This rate means less than 1%.
Of course, all these are factors that vary according to the notes of the perfume and the intensity you want. Be sure to consider these details.
What does perfume silage mean?
Silage refers to the aura created by a perfume when worn on the skin. It comes from the French word ‘wake’ and can be defined as how the scent spreads around the wearer. In short, it is the “noticeability” of the scent.
For example, scents such as Tom Ford Black Orchid, Narciso Rodriguez For Her, Thierry Mugler Alien, Chloe Signature, Christian Dior Hypnotic Poison have reached cult status with their high silage and distinctive distinctiveness. But that doesn’t mean you have to like it or it will suit your skin very well…
What is FL Oz? Does it have anything to do with persistence?
Fl Oz, which stands for “fluid ounce”, is the unit of liquid measurement used in the USA. It is said that the size of the perfume affects the permanence of some formulas.
Let’s say we have two options as follows: 3.4 Ounce Eau de Perfume Spray and 3.3 Ounce Eau de Toilette Spray. Here you can see the amount of density or the concentration of fragrance oils. Another way to understand once again that EDP is more intense.
Also, at this point, we can say that choosing smaller sizes instead of 200 ml will prevent the smell from spoiling for a long time.
What does reformulated perfume mean?
In designer perfumes, this often happens: reformulation of a famous perfume. Have you ever given a chance to the scent that you fell in love with and used years ago and you don’t like it anymore?
It’s probably because your tastes have been reformed, not changed. In general, brands prefer to reduce the quality of the raw materials used to reduce costs due to the intense competition in the perfume community. In other words, there may be a difference in essence between the first version of the fragrance released to the market and the later ones. However, people with olfactory memory can notice it. Before buying a perfume you love, check online whether it has been reformed.
What does batch code mean?
Batch code is the code where you can find out the originality and age of the product. With this code at the bottom of the bottle, you can check the production and expiry date of the product and of course its originality from various sites on the internet.
