How to choose the right perfume?

Giving the gift of perfume is an elegant and personal gesture. However, faced with the diversity of fragrances, choosing the perfect one for someone can seem like a challenge. Between olfactory preferences, personality and the memories associated with scents, several criteria need to be taken into account. Here's a comprehensive guide to help you make the right choice without making a faux pas.

Understanding the recipient's olfactory preferences

Everyone has their own olfactory universe. To avoid making a mistake, take into account :

Perfumes he/she already wears: Identify the brands or fragrances he/she uses. An empty bottle on a dressing table can be a valuable clue!

The olfactory notes he/she likes:

• Fresh and light? He/she may like citrus, marine or floral notes.
• Warm and bewitching? Go for woody, amber or oriental fragrances.
• Soft and comforting? Powdery, musky or vanilla notes are ideal.

Hayari Paris tip: If in doubt, opt for a balanced fragrance, neither too intense nor too discreet, like “Goldy”, a refined composition that seduces with its subtlety.

 

Adapt perfume to personality and lifestyle

Fragrance reflects a part of our identity. Here are a few profiles and the types of fragrances that correspond to them:

The elegant and sophisticated : Floral, powdery fragrances like “Only for Her”, with its notes of jasmine and orange blossom.

The authentic and natural : Fresh, green scents based on citrus and botanicals, ideal for a free, minimalist spirit.

The passionate, charismatic : Amber, spicy or oriental fragrances like “Only for Him”, which marries strength and sensuality.

The artistic and mysterious : Bold, unique compositions, blending precious woods, incense or leather, perfect for a creative spirit.

Consider the occasion and the season

A fragrance for a special occasion?

Weddings, anniversaries : Opt for a refined, timeless fragrance.

Valentine's Day : Romantic notes like rose or vanilla.

Christmas : Warm scents with woody, gourmand accords.

Spring-summer : Light fragrances with floral, fruity or marine notes are perfect.
Autumn-Winter : Choose enveloping scents like amber, patchouli or tonka bean.

Opt for a safe alternative: gift sets and discovery formats

If you're still hesitating, consider :

Multi-fragrance gift sets to let you choose your favorite. Travel or miniature formats for a first, no-obligation discovery.

The gift of perfume is a unique sensory and emotional experience. By taking into account the person's tastes, personality and habits, you'll make a choice that perfectly suits them. What if your ideal fragrance were to be found in the Hayari Paris collection?
