Why Perfume Matters
Perfume is not just a smell. It is a part of your daily life. It shows your mood. It shows your style. A good perfume makes people remember you.
But how can you choose the right perfume? There are many options. It can be confusing. Some are too strong. Some don’t last long. Some don’t smell good on your skin.
In this article, we will help you understand how to choose the perfect perfume. We will use simple words. So, everyone can understand it.
1. Know What You Like
The first step is simple. Ask yourself: What kind of smells do you like?
Here are some types:
- Floral: Like rose, jasmine, or lily
- Woody: Like sandalwood, cedarwood
- Fruity: Like apple, berries, mango
- Spicy: Like cinnamon, clove, pepper
- Fresh: Like lemon, mint, or ocean air
- Sweet: Like vanilla, chocolate, or caramel
If you like soft smells, try floral or fruity perfumes.
If you like strong smells, go for woody or spicy ones.
You can try different perfumes in a store or test sample kits at home. Brands like Elyon Dubai have a Fragrance Experience Package with small samples to test at home.
2. Understand Perfume Notes
Perfumes have 3 layers. These are called notes:
- Top notes: These are the first smells you notice. They fade in 10 to 15 minutes.
- Middle notes (heart notes): These appear after the top notes go. They stay for a few hours.
- Base notes: These come last and stay the longest, sometimes all day.
For example, Himeros by Elyon Dubai has spicy top notes, a warm heart, and a dee, woody base. That means it smells bold at first, then turns smooth and rich later.
Always wait a few minutes after spraying perfume. The real scent comes out after some time.
3. Think About When You’ll Wear It
You can choose different perfumes for different times.
- Daytime: Choose light and fresh perfumes
- Nighttime: Choose deeper, stronger perfumes
- Summer: Pick fruity or citrus-based perfumes
- Winter: Pick warm and spicy perfumes
- Office: Go for soft and clean smells
- Parties or events: Choose bold and rich fragrances
A perfume like Aria from Elyon Dubai works well for daytime or office wear because it is fresh and elegant.
Infinity works best at night because it smells powerful and deep.
4. Test Perfumes on Your Skin
Never buy a perfume just by smelling the bottle. Your skin has its own scent. It can change how the perfume smells.
Here’s what to do:
- Spray on your wrist or inner elbow.
- Wait for 10–15 minutes.
- Smell again.
The perfume may smell different after it mixes with your skin.
If you still like it after 15 minutes, it’s a good choice.
5. Choose Strong or Soft Perfumes Based on the Place
Some places need soft smells. Some places are good for strong smells.
- In a crowd or at work: Choose soft perfumes so others don’t feel uncomfortable.
- At a wedding or dinner, you can wear bold and strong scents.
Perfumes with 40% oil, like those from Elyon Dubai, are strong. Just 1–2 sprays are enough. If you use too much, it may feel heavy. So always spray less if it’s a high-oil concentration perfume.
6. Pick the Right Perfume for Your Skin Type
Skin type can change how a perfume smells and how long it lasts.
- Oily skin: Perfume stays longer.
- Dry skin: Perfume fades faster.
If you have dry skin:
- Moisturize your skin before using perfume.
- Or spray perfume on your clothes.
If you want the perfume to last longer, spray it on:
- Neck
- Wrists
- Back of ears
- Inner elbows
7. Know the Different Types of Perfumes
Perfumes come in different types based on oil levels:
- Eau de Cologne: 2–4% oil, lasts 1–2 hours
- Eau de Toilette: 5–10% oil, lasts 3–4 hours
- Eau de Parfum: 15–20% oil, lasts 6–8 hours
- Extrait de Parfum: 25–40% oil, lasts 12+ hours
Elyon Dubai perfumes have 40% oil. That is very high. So the smell stays all day. These are Extrait de Parfum. You only need a small amount.
8. Don’t Follow Trends
Just because a perfume is popular doesn’t mean it will be right for you.
Some perfumes are made for mass selling. But handmade perfumes are made with more care.
Choose perfumes that:
- Make you feel good
- Match your skin
- Suit your style
Unique perfumes like Infinity or Himeros don’t follow trends. They are bold and made for people who like rare smells.
9. Check Perfume Ingredients
Always check what’s inside the perfume. Some perfumes use synthetic (fake) smells. These are cheaper but not long-lasting.
Look for:
- Natural oils
- Aged resins
- Herbs and spices
- Real flower extracts
Elyon Dubai uses pure oils and no fake scents. Their perfumes are handmade, not made by machines.
10. Try Sample Kits First
Buying a full bottle can be risky if you don’t know how it smells.
Always try a sample kit first. You can:
- Smell each perfume
- Try it for a few days
- Choose your favorite
Elyon Dubai offers the Elyon Experience Package. It lets you try all their fragrances in small bottles before buying a big one.
11. Pick a Signature Scent
A signature scent is a perfume that becomes “your smell.” People remember you by that smell.
To find it:
- Try many perfumes
- Choose one that makes you feel good
- Stick with it
Over time, that perfume becomes your personal scent. People will know you’re around just by smelling it.
12. Less Is More
Many people think more perfume is better. That is wrong.
If the perfume is strong, use just 1–2 sprays. Too much can be heavy for you and others.
Good perfumes don’t need too much. One spray from a perfume like Elyon Dubai’s Himeros can last the whole day.

Choose with Care
Choosing the right perfume takes time. But it is worth it. Perfume is like clothing. It says something about you.
Remember:
- Know your favorite smells
- Test on your skin
- Think about the place and time
- Check oil levels
- Don’t follow trends
- Try sample kits
If you want perfumes that are powerful, pure, and made with love, handmade perfumes like Elyon Dubai are a great choice.
