FAQs
Here is a summary of the questions we often receive, hope it helps you. If you have any questions or problems, please contact The Ten Perfume via hotline 0868720179, orFacebook,Instagram,Gmail.
1. Why do perfumes smell different on different people?
Your own body chemistry affects how differerent notes react on your skin. Anything that affects the "natural" smell of your skin, such as stress, hormonal changes, your current diet or medications, might change how a perfume smells on you.
2. How can I make my perfume last longer on my skin?
All other things being equal, perfumes evaporate more rapidly from dry skin, so the best way to make fragrance last longer is to use a relatively heavy body lotion or cream. Some people like to buy the "matching" cream for their fragrance, but you can also use an unscented cream like Cetaphil, or try petroleum jelly or jojoba oil. You might also try a light mist to your hair, which is said to hold scent longer than skin.
3. What is an Eau De Parfum?
In most of the cases, fine fragrances are found as diluted in alcohol. Based on their concentration in alcohol, they are called Eau De Cologne, Eau De Toilette, Eau de Parfum or Extrait De Parfum.
4. What's the best way to spray on perfume?
Spray about 20cm away from your skin. An even spray over a wider area will help your fragrance last longer than a generous amount in a small area. Should you rub one wrist against the other to dry the fragrance? No, because you'll bruise the notes, dull their development.
5. What is the difference between Parfum, EDP, EDT, Aftershave and Cologne etc.?
A These descriptions are used to identify the strength or concentration of oil in a fragrance. T he concentrations can vary from fragrance to fragrance but here is an average guide. In general, the higher the percentage, the higher the price – but be aware that different concentrations (Perfume, or Eau de Toilette, etc.) may also have different notes in them, and not simply be weaker or stronger. So when you like a fragrance, we suggest you explore its different concentrations.
Extract/solid perfume – 20-30%
Perfume – 15-25%
Eau de Parfum (EDP) – 8-15%
Eau de Toilette (EDT) – 4-8%
Cologne (EDC) – 2-4%
After Shave – 2-4%
Soap – 2-4%
Body cream/lotion – 3-4%
Perfumed candle – 10%
6. Where should I apply my perfume?
Where the skin is especially warm and where there is good blood circulation. This is because heat helps diffuse and magnify the aroma of fragrance. The “pulse points” on the body (see below) are the perfect activators for perfume. Because fragrance rises, it should be applied to several pulse points - not just, for instance, at the base of the throat. Consider the small of your back and your navel. If you prefer to have your fragrance trail you, apply it at the nape of your neck – just on the hairline – the heat and movement will diffuse the fragrance.
7. How should I store my perfume?
Keep your fragrances in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources (such as radiators). Extreme heat or cold will upset the delicate balance of the oils and change their scent. Once a bottle of perfume is opened, use it. A spray lets in less air and evaporates slower than a bottle with a cap but even the finest essence fades with time. If you prefer one fragrance in winter and another in the summer, you'll extend their life between seasons if you store the bottle in the vegetable crisper of the refrigerator.
8. I can't smell my own fragrance after a while. Is it normal?
Well don't worry, humans become insensitive after a while to the particular scent it is constantly exposed to. This is a natural defense mechanism.
9. How do I know if it has gone off?
The color might darken and the liquid may thicken and/or become cloudy – and you can be sure it will not smell like your normal scent. There's really nothing you can do to redeem it at this point, alas.
