Choose moments, not rules

A fragrance wardrobe can be as small as two scents with different jobs: one familiar, one more deliberate. The question is when you want to wear it, not whether you have the approved number.

Test the dry-down slowly

Initial notes are only one part of a scent. Give a sample time and note how it feels in the context you plan to wear it.

Buy with the return route in mind

Sampling, travel sizes, pricing and returns are part of the decision. A thoughtful purchase is more useful than a dramatic first impression.

What to take away

Keep the next step small, clear and appropriate to your circumstances. This article is general editorial information and does not replace professional advice.
