Spring is a time of awakening and new life. Inhale its scent to the fullest!
Although we say for all types of scents that they are "perfumes", a real perfume is very different from the toilet water, you'll feel on your nose, but also on your wallet. Eau de toilette contains from five to ten percent of perfume extract (concentrated smell), Eau de Parfum contains ten to 20 percent of the extract, while the real perfume in the full sense of the word contains up to 30 percent of perfume extract.
Scents vary depending on the season and occasion, but one thing is certain: you can always wear it, even in bed (just remember that Marilyn Monroe wore Chanel No 5 only in bed).
What are different types of perfume?
Floral perfumes
"This biggest group includes different variants with a floral composition: fresh cut flowers, flowers with water, green or powdery hues and floral-aldehyde, floral and fruit and gourmet compositions," writes New Fragrances.
Women will accept these fragrances more than men, so most of the floral fragrance is for women. It exudes femininity, and strength.

Oriental perfumes
Extravagant personality comes into play with oriental perfumes. They are sophisticated, warm and spicy. Whoever wears them will be noticed! Warm and sensual amber, musk and vanilla dominate, and oriental fragrances will match with flowers and spices.

Citrus perfumes
"A group of citrus fragrances are an old and noble. The composition is based on the citrus notes of lemon, orange, bergamot, grapefruit and tangerines, along with another citrus, crisp aromatic notes for male or floral notes for women," explains New Fragrances.
Citrus fruits are in agreement with the sensitive and cheerful woman's nature. Ladies who love citrus scents are optimistic, open and like to have fun.
