About French Perfumes

How French perfumes are built

French perfumery works in three movements: a bright opening that lasts minutes, a floral or spiced heart for the next few hours, and a base of woods, musk or amber that emerges last. Knowing this helps you judge a scent properly. Smell it again after an hour, not only in the first minute.

Choosing one

Fresh citrus and aquatic perfumes are the easiest to wear every day and the safest gift. Floral and fruity scents are versatile, while woody, amber and gourmand compositions are warmer and better suited to evenings and winter. Find Your Scent lets you browse by family.

Getting the most from a spray

Apply after a shower to moisturised skin, spray pulse points and a little on clothing, and do not rub your wrists together. Store the bottle somewhere cool and dark.
