The smell of a perfume tends to evolve whilst you wear it and your body chemistry can have a significant effect on how this process unfolds. A fragrance you find pleasing on another person may not evoke the same emotions if worn by yourself because of a difference in chemistry. There are a variety of factors that affect how a perfume interacts with the skin; keep on reading to learn more:

Body Temperature: The temperature of the body can affect the intensity and longevity of the fragrance. Warm skin can enhance the projection of your chosen scent, while colder skin then result in a more subtle scent.

Skin pH: The pH level of the skin can affect the way fragrances evolve on the skin. A higher pH can increase the intensity of certain notes, while a lower pH can alter the scent.

Diet and Hydration: Influences such as diet and hydration levels can affect body odour and can either enhance or mask certain fragrance notes. 

Hormonal Changes: Fragrances can smell different at different times of the menstrual cycle due to the influence the cycle has on body chemistry.

Body chemistry can vary immensely from person to person, ultimately changing how one single fragrance can smell different on each individual. Due to this fact, selecting fragrances requires a personal approach to ensure the ones you choose smell as good on your skin as they do in the bottle. Shop our KDJ-inspired fragrances today and explore our extensive range of fragrances in tester sizes to find your favourite designer-inspired scents with ease.
