Tips for managing your perfume rotation

  • Have one signature base fragrance that represents you all year round

  • Use travel sizes to test seasonal perfumes without investing in a full bottle

  • Apply differently depending on the season: on clothes in winter (longer wear), on hair or pulse points in summer (lighter effect)

  • Alternate depending on the occasion: a lighter scent for daytime, a more intense one for evening
