A Beginner Guide to Navigating the Fragrance World Like a Pro

Embarking on a journey into the fragrance world can be both an exciting and daunting experience. At KDJ, we understand that being familiar with the fragrance realm allows you to discover your signature scent. Here is a beginners guide to navigating the fragrance world like a pro.

Fragrance Families

To gain an understanding of the fragrance world, becoming familiar with the fragrance families – fresh, floral, oriental, and woody – and their unique characteristics is a great starting point. Take the time to explore the diverse scents within these families to discover what resonates with you. Visit perfume counters and test scents on your skin and how the scent evolves when in contact with your body chemistry.

Fragrance Notes

Fragrances often have a range of notes that make each fragrance unique: top, heart, and base notes. Top notes deliver the initial scent, the heart notes can be experienced when the fragrance settles, and the base notes are what linger over time.

Concentration Levels

Research about concentration levels such as parfum and eau de toilette as they indicate the longevity and intensity of the fragrance.

Here at KDJ, our affordable designer-inspired fragrances are available in tester sizes to allow you to explore and experiment to your heart’s content. Found your favourite fragrance?
