Buying perfume seems simple, but when shopping online you often cannot try a fragrance on your skin first. Product names, luxurious packaging and phrases such as “long-lasting fragrance” can grab your attention, while the most important information may be less visible. By paying close attention to the fragrance profile, concentration, volume and safety information, you can make a more informed choice.
Eau de parfum generally contains more fragrance ingredients than eau de toilette, but that does not automatically mean that every eau de parfum will last equally long. The overall experience also depends on the formulation, your skin, the temperature and how much you apply. Treat “long-lasting” as a product claim rather than a fixed guarantee.
Perfume develops in stages. Citrus and fruity notes are often noticeable straight away, while floral, woody or musky base notes become clearer later on. A fresh perfume may smell warmer over time, while a floral fragrance may develop a woody undertone.
A 30, 50, 80 or 100 ml bottle can make a significant difference to the price. Also check whether you are buying a full spray bottle, a refill or another type of packaging. With Zadig & Voltaire This Is Her, for example, the product is a refill. This is only practical if you already have the matching bottle.
As well as the concentration, pay close attention to the fragrance notes. An EDP with citrus and aromatic notes may feel lighter than an EDT containing plenty of woods, musk or amber.
Start by choosing the direction you enjoy:
A fragrance for everyday use is often less intense or easier to reapply. When choosing perfume as a gift, a recognisable brand, a neutral fragrance profile and a practical volume are important considerations. Women’s perfume, men’s perfume and unisex fragrances are mainly usage labels; the listed notes provide a more specific impression.
Always check the current ingredients list on the packaging. Fragrance ingredients such as limonene, linalool, geraniol and citronellol are found in many perfumes and may cause irritation in sensitive individuals. Use perfume externally only, avoid contact with the eyes and stop using it if irritation occurs. Store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Products sold in the European Union should include information about ingredients, the manufacturer or responsible person, and safe use. This information helps you distinguish marketing claims from verifiable product details.

Not always. Concentration is an important indication, but the fragrance formula, your skin and the surrounding conditions all affect how long it lasts. Use the product information for comparison, not as a guarantee.
Follow the expiry or period-after-opening information on the packaging. Store perfume closed, in a dry place away from direct sunlight. If the fragrance, colour or consistency changes noticeably, stop using the product.
Choosing perfume as a gift is less risky when you take the recipient’s known preferences into account. A recognisable designer perfume with a clearly floral, fresh or woody profile can be a practical choice. If you are unsure, a smaller bottle or a neutral unisex perfume is often more versatile.
