Perfume is to be worn. Yes, but not only... It is also an unstoppable instrument of seduction. Since ancient times, perfume has been associated with love affairs. Aphrodite, the goddess of love, was the lover of Adonis, the god of perfumes. Perfume is a note of contemporaneity, women choose for themselves essences designed for men.
When choosing a fragrance, much attention must be paid to the olfactory pyramid, divided into three notes, and to how this combines on the skin:
The top note: You can feel it as soon as you spray the perfume, it can last from 15 minutes to 2 hours and often has a very fresh, energetic note.
The heart note: It develops for 3-5 hours after applying the perfume, it can be floral, powdery or it can recall a slightly spicy flavor.
The base note: In a good perfume it is flawless. It is the one that lasts the longest on the skin, between 5 and 10 hours, it can have a very pleasant woody note, or leather or tobacco.
