How are perfumes classified? Should perfume be stored upside down?

Perfume is a product made by dissolving spices in alcohol. It is volatile and has its own specific fragrance. You may often mention that "you can tell a woman by her scent". The history of perfume can be traced back to ancient Egypt and ancient Greece, when people believed that perfume was invented by the gods, and smelling the fragrance represented the advent and blessing of the gods. In ancient Persia, perfume symbolized identity and status. A bottle of perfume can make you look like a goddess.

Classification of perfume

Perfumes can be divided into several grades according to the concentration of alcohol and spices. Generally speaking, there are five grades of perfume: essence, perfume, eau de toilette, cologne and light perfume. The durability and price of different grades of perfume are also different.

Currently, the main products sold on the market are eau de toilette (EAU DE TOILETTE) and perfume (EAU DE PAEFUM). Usually, eau de toilette (EAU DE TOILETTE) and perfume (EAU DE PAEFUM) are collectively referred to as perfume, and perfume (EAU DE PAEFUM) is also called fragrance.

Should perfume be stored upside down?

Because no matter how tightly the cap of the perfume is closed, it will evaporate over time. The tube connected to the nozzle goes all the way to the bottom of the bottle. As the air pressure in the tube increases, the perfume at the bottom will slowly evaporate due to the air pressure! If you put it upside down, after the perfume at the nozzle evaporates, it will not evaporate because there is no perfume at the bottom. If the perfume cannot stand upside down, let it lean against something or a wall!

How to try perfume

1. Spray some perfume onto blotting paper and start arranging combinations. Once you find a combination you like, try it on yourself. Put the stronger spray first and the lighter spray second so it doesn't affect the smell.

2. You can use business cards as fragrance testers, and you can also make the business cards have their own fragrance. Why not?

3. When you try perfume outside, you must wait for the spray to dry before you smell it to smell the real scent of the perfume. The smell you just sprayed on is actually the top note, which disappears quickly.
