perfume is a vaguely defined concept

When most people think of perfume information, what comes to mind is usually basic information that's not particularly interesting or beneficial. But there's a lot more to perfume information than just the basics. The days have been turning darker and rainier over the past week, and today the first thing I noticed when I stepped outside was a scattering of golden leaves on the ground.

Although seasonality in perfume is a vaguely defined concept, it is enjoyable to switch one’s scented wardrobe in anticipation of a new season. For me, the soft florals (or aldehydic florals) and classical florals of the summer give way to the chypre and oriental compositions during the colder months.

Both chypres and orientals are comprised of notes that can give a warm sensation, such as the dry heat of patchouli in the former or the sensual richness of spices and resins in the latter.

Truthfully, the only difference between you and perfume information experts is time. If you'll invest a little more time in reading, you'll be that much nearer to expert status when it comes to perfume information.

Knowing enough about perfume information to make solid, informed choices cuts down on the fear factor. If you apply what you've just learned about this information, you should have nothing to worry about.
