Brûmée’s Guide: How To Buy Perfume Online
Jul
Pondering the process of selecting a perfume online? Finding the ideal fragrance can be a daunting task, particularly when browsing the web. Numerous factors come into play when purchasing a perfume, such as: which scent matches my personality? Is this meant for daily wear or special occasions? Who is the intended recipient? Even though perfumes are considered a beauty essential, many of us are not accustomed to shopping for them online – after all, we usually make our decision based on the actual smell.
Perfumery is an art form that invites exploration, creativity, and transcends limitations. So, why restrict yourself to fragrances available only in physical stores? To assist you in your online perfume shopping experience, we have put together a list of useful tips for you to keep in mind when searching for the perfect scent on the internet.
Get Acquainted with Ingredients, Notes, and Fragrance Families:
A simple yet effective method for selecting an online fragrance is to stay within your comfort zone by identifying the type of scent that appeals to you. This can guide you in determining the appropriate fragrance family or the perfumer’s style that aligns with your preferences. Many perfume brands provide information on the fragrance family to which a scent belongs, making it easier to narrow down your options.
At Brûmée, we employ the Olfactory Pyramid to illustrate the notes and their composition within a perfume. When experiencing a scent, the Top Notes are what you’ll perceive initially, offering a first impression of the fragrance. However, these notes are ephemeral compared to the heart and base notes. As the name implies, Heart Notes constitute the “core” of the fragrance, accounting for approximately 70% of the overall aroma. Base Notes establish the foundation of the fragrance, enhancing the lighter notes while adding depth and resonance.
Choose by Memory, Mood and Occasion
Our olfactory sense is deeply connected to our memory. As a result, a perfume’s aroma can evoke powerful emotions, making it a vital aspect of our lives. To find a familiar scent, choose fragrances that recall significant life events, cherished memories, or specific people and locations.
For an upcoming event, consider the emotions you want to experience. If you desire confidence for an interview, or seek a memorable fragrance for a wedding, select scents that evoke those feelings.
Choosing a Scent for Someone Else
Selecting a perfume as a gift can be challenging, as the vast array of options can be daunting. Nevertheless, you can simplify the process by considering the recipient’s preferences. When browsing online, ponder the individual’s personality and interests. Nature enthusiasts might appreciate bright and invigorating fragrances with citrus or earthy notes. On the other hand, a more nostalgic person may favor sweet, warm scents featuring ingredients like vanilla and lavender.
If you’re still unsure, explore popular options by utilizing bestseller filters. Alternatively, consider gifting a discovery set, which enables the recipient to sample various fragrances before committing to a full-sized bottle.
