Choosing a perfume isn't just a matter of personal preference - our skin type also plays a big role in how fragrances behave on us. While some people prefer citrusy, fresh scents, others prefer woody, heavy scents. But did you know that your skin type also affects how perfumes "sit" on you? In this article, we'll show you how to find the best perfumes for your skin type so you can smell perfect every day.
1. Why is it important to consider skin type when buying perfume?
Everyone has a different skin type, whether it's dry, oily, combination or sensitive. The chemical makeup of your skin affects how it reacts to perfume and how long the scent lasts throughout the day. The strength, distribution and longevity of the scent can also vary depending on your skin type.
For example, some perfumes are more likely to emphasize floral, fruity notes, while others are more likely to be dominated by woody or spicy tones, depending on the environment the skin provides them with.
2. Dry skin: Which perfume suits you best?
Dry skin tends to absorb fragrance more quickly, so it's a good idea to choose perfumes that have richer, longer-lasting base notes. Scents like vanilla, musk, woody notes (like sandalwood), or balms can be perfect. These scents will last longer on dry skin.
Recommended perfumes for dry skin:
- Nichery - Cairo
- Nichery - Euphoria
Tips:
- Before using perfume, moisturize your skin with a suitable body lotion to prevent rapid loss of fragrance.
- Use perfume directly on your hair or clothes to increase its longevity.
3. Oily skin: Which perfume suits you?
Oily skin tends to "fade" perfumes more quickly because the oils in your skin mix with the scents and they dissipate more quickly. Sweet, spicy, or citrusy perfumes may last longer on this type of skin, as the oily layer can help them last longer. Fresh, citrusy scents like bergamot, lime, or lavender also work well on oily skin.
Recommended perfumes for oily skin:
- Nichery - Botanica
- Nichery - Ibiza
Tips:
- Don't apply too much perfume to oily skin, as the scent may be too strong.
- It's better to choose eau de toilette type perfumes, as they are less concentrated and therefore don't "overwhelm" the skin.
4. Combination skin: Which fragrance is the best choice?
Combination skin can encompass multiple types, so it requires a bit of consideration when it comes to scents. If you have combination skin, you should choose perfumes that work well on both dry and oily areas. Floral and fresh scents like rose, jasmine, lavender, or bergamot can be a perfect choice, as they are not too strong but spread well.
Recommended perfumes for combination skin:
- Nichery - Top 1%
- Nichery - Bermuda
Tips:
- Lighter scents that can be refreshed during the day are ideal for this skin type.
- Don't use too many different scents at once so they don't interfere with each other.
5. Sensitive skin: How to choose a perfume?
Sensitive skin is particularly prone to irritation, so when choosing a perfume, it is important to pay attention to the fact that the product does not contain strong alcohol, artificial fragrances or allergens. In such cases, the best choice is a hypoallergenic, alcohol-free perfume, or fragrances that are made from natural, mild ingredients such as lavender, rose or vanilla.
Recommended perfumes for sensitive skin:
- Nichery - Mykonos
- Nichery - Botanica
Tips:
- Always do a skin test before buying a new perfume to avoid irritation.
- If you have sensitive skin, choose quality, natural perfumes that do not contain artificial additives.
6. How to use your perfume according to your skin type?
Once you've found the right perfume for your skin type, it's important to apply it correctly so you can enjoy the scent for as long as possible. Here are some tips for using perfume:
- For dry skin: Use a moisturizing body lotion and then spray the perfume on your skin. Perfume sticks better to moisturized skin.
- For oily skin: Don't apply too much perfume, as the scent can be too intense. Spray the scent on your hair or clothes instead.
- For sensitive skin: Choose mild scents and be sure not to apply them directly to your skin, but rather to your clothes or hair.
