How to Choose the Right Western Perfume

Picking a perfume is not just about liking the smell. 

Consider your personality, lifestyle, and occasions:

Daily wear: Light, fresh, or floral scents like Light Blue by Dolce & Gabbana or Davidoff Cool Water.

Evening or parties: Go for bold, oriental, or gourmand scents like Creed Aventus or Club de Nuit Intense EDT.

Professional settings: Subtle woody or fougere perfumes like Burberry for Men EDT or Bvlgari Pour Homme.

This way, your fragrance matches your vibe, making every impression unforgettable.

How to Layer Perfume?

Did you know applying perfume in the right spots can make the scent last all day? 

Focus on pulse points such as wrists, neck, and behind the ears.

This is especially effective for Western perfumes, which are often concentrated and long-lasting.
