Fragrance Strength
Guide
Fragrance is produced in different strengths/potency. This
is the result of the percentages of core ingredients and
oils that are included in the fragrance. A general strength
guide for this scale show below:
As you can see in the diagram above there is quite a range
in fragrance strengths. The rule of thumb regarding this
strength guide is that the higher the strength of a
fragrance, the longer it will last on your skin.
How skin type can
affect scent
A singular fragrance can smell quite different on various
people for several reasons. One of these main reasons is
often due to the skin type of the person using the
fragrance. Different acidity levels together with moisture
content of skins can affect not only the smell of a
fragrance, but also its longevity. Also the environment and
physical activity levels of people can affect the longevity
and scent of a fragrance. As body temperatures increase,
fragrance can begin to intensify. However perspiration can
also contribute towards many of these factors. As fragrance
scent can vary from person to person, it can often take a
person several attempts to find the fragrance which is best
suited to their skin type and taste.
Useful Fragrance
Tips
Fragrance can be affected by regular increases in
temperatures. Therefore try to avoid storing fragrance in
your bathroom where temperatures vary constantly with use.
When you open a fragrance it will have direct contact with
air. From this point the fragrance will start to deteriorate
over time. Therefore to help make your fragrance last,
minimise its exposure to air. Fragrances with an open top (splash
on) maybe affected more by this as they will be likely to
have more contact with air.
Heat and light can affect the scent and strength of a
fragrance. A fragrance is predicted to last much longer if
you keep the fragrance away from extreme temperatures and
light.
Fragrance can be applied to clothes as well as the skin.
Although this may affect the strength and longevity of the
fragrance, this is a good alternative if you have sensitive
skin.
