Body chemistry is the reason why perfumes evolve throughout the day rather than remaining static. It can be why the same perfume that smells beautiful on your friend is just kinda meh on you. It can also explain why some scents last longer or shorter, depending on who is wearing them. A high-quality perfume will adapt to the wearer; it doesn’t fight with your chemistry, it works with it and we want to explain how to use this to your advantage.
Natural skin chemistries, including PH levels, affect fragrance in a big way. Skin can actually be more acidic or more alkaline, depending on the person, which influences how perfume notes unfold. On some people, certain notes may become sweeter, sharper or warmer depending on how they react with the skin’s chemistry.
Skin type also matters; oily or well-hydrated skin tends to hold fragrance better, allowing it to last longer and develop more smoothly. Dry skin, on the other hand, means that the fragrance oils have nothing to cling to and so will evaporate quickly. Luckily, this is a factor we can control by using moisturiser before applying perfume if we have drier skin, improving the longevity and performance.
Diet and lifestyle can also play a role in this, having the ability to influence body chemistry. Foods, hydration levels, certain medications and even stress are all potential factors that can determine how a perfume will smell on an individual. Body temperature plays a part too, with some people naturally running hotter or colder; heat amplifies fragrance whilst a cooler internal temperature may keep scents closer to the skin.
If you’re looking for fragrances designed to perform beautifully across different chemistries and skin types, look no further than the collection at KDJ Inspired. Our scents are crafted to adapt, evolve and embrace the uniquely personal experience of scent.
