Perfumes - page 9

Perfumes are part of daily personal hygiene, care and personal style. A properly chosen fragrance can contribute to a feeling of freshness, neatness and confidence throughout the day, whether you choose a light body mist, men’s perfume or women’s perfume for special occasions.

Within the Personal hygiene category, perfumes are chosen according to fragrance intensity, fragrance notes, occasion and personal habits. Lighter fragrances are suitable for everyday use, while more intense perfumes can be a better choice for evening occasions and a stronger scent trail.

With sensitive skin, perfumes should be applied carefully, avoiding damaged or irritated skin and not applying them immediately after shaving or hair removal if they cause stinging. If redness, itching, rash or irritation appears, rinse off the product and stop use.

How to choose perfume?

If you want a light, refreshing fragrance for everyday use, body mist can be a good choice. Body mist is practical for quick application during the day and usually has a softer fragrance trail than classic perfume.

For a men’s fragrance routine, you can view the men’s perfumes category. Men’s perfumes are usually chosen according to style, intensity, season and occasion, from fresh daytime scents to stronger evening notes.

For a women’s fragrance routine, the women’s perfumes category is available. Women’s perfumes can be floral, fruity, powdery, fresh or more intense, depending on taste and the occasion.

How to apply perfume properly?

Perfume is most often applied in a small amount to pulse points, such as the neck, wrists or inner elbows. There is no need to apply too much product, as excessive amount may be unpleasant both for the wearer and the surroundings.

Perfume should not be rubbed after application, as this may change how the fragrance develops on the skin. If you have sensitive skin, perfume can be applied to clothing from a suitable distance, but first check that it does not leave marks on fabric.

Perfumes and sensitive skin

Fragranced products may cause irritation in people with sensitive, dry or reactive skin. Perfume should not be applied to skin with cuts, rash, fresh irritation, immediately after shaving or on areas that already sting or itch.

If redness, itching, stinging, rash or swelling appears after applying perfume, rinse off the product and stop use. With repeated reactions, a milder fragrance product or advice from a dermatologist, doctor or pharmacist is recommended.

Pharmacist’s advice

Use perfume moderately and do not apply it to damaged, irritated or freshly shaved skin. With sensitive skin, first check how the skin reacts to a small amount of product. If itching, redness, stinging, rash, swelling or repeated irritation appears, stop use and seek advice from a dermatologist, doctor or pharmacist.
