Choosing the right perfume can be an amazing experience, but also a little overwhelming due to the vast array of options. Each fragrance has its own unique notes and characteristics, and the key is to choose one that aligns with your personal style, the weather, and the occasion. Here's how to do it, using perfumes from our catalog to help you visualize the best choices.

1. LEARN ABOUT THE OLFACTORY FAMILIES

Perfumes are divided into several olfactory families, which group fragrances with similar characteristics. These are the most common:

• Floral : Perfect for those seeking a soft, feminine fragrance. Notes like rose, jasmine, and peony define this family. Example : Valentino BIR Intense – With floral notes combined with vanilla, it's ideal for those looking for an elegant and warm fragrance. Perfect for special occasions.
• Citrus : Fresh and energizing, these fragrances combine citrus fruits like lemon, orange, and mandarin. Example : Liam Blue Shine – a dupe for Acqua di Giò Profondo , with citrus and marine notes, this fragrance is refreshing and perfect for everyday wear, especially in warm climates.
• Woody : Warm and sophisticated, woody fragrances often include notes of sandalwood, cedar, or vetiver. Example : Amber Oud Gold Edition – A warm and exotic perfume that stands out for its amber and wood notes, ideal for cool evenings and special events.
• Oriental : Sweet and spicy, with hints of vanilla, cinnamon, and spices. Example : Khamrah Qahwa – A warm and inviting perfume with notes of coffee and vanilla, perfect for cool evenings and special occasions.
  

2. CHOOSE ACCORDING TO THE OCCASION

The perfume you choose should be in harmony with the event or activity you're going to do. Think about what you want to project and the atmosphere you want to create.

• For everyday wear : Opt for fresh or citrus fragrances, such as Fakhar Black , which has notes of bergamot and woods. Perfect for work or a relaxed atmosphere.
  
• For a romantic date or a special outing : The most seductive and enveloping fragrances, such as Valentino Born in Roma Intense , with notes of lavender and vanilla, will bring a touch of elegance and sophistication.
  
• For evening events : The most intense and long-lasting fragrances, such as Invictus Victory Elixir , which blends amber, vanilla and wood, are ideal for standing out and leaving a lasting impression.
  

3. CONSIDER THE CLIMATE

The weather directly influences how a perfume is perceived, as the notes of perfumes can become lighter or more intense depending on the temperature.

• Warm climates : Fresh, aquatic perfumes are the best choice. Liam Blue Shine or Hawas Ice , with their fresh fruity and marine notes, are perfect for summer.
  
• Cold climates : Warmer fragrances, such as Khamrah Classic , with notes of cinnamon and vanilla, are ideal for accompanying cold nights and creating a cozy atmosphere.
  

4. SIZE AND DURATION

The size of the fragrance also influences your choice. Small bottles are ideal for those who want to try several fragrances, while larger bottles offer more for frequent use.

• Small (3ml-5ml) : Perfect for those who enjoy multiple fragrances and want to experiment. The small bottles are ideal for carrying in your purse and refilling throughout the day.
  
• Large (10ml and more) : For those who have found their favorite fragrance and wish to enjoy it long-term.

5. ALWAYS TEST THE PERFUME ON YOUR SKIN

Finally, remember that a perfume develops differently depending on your skin type. What smells good on paper or in a bottle can change once you apply it. We always recommend testing the perfume on your skin and waiting a few minutes to see how it evolves.
