Women’s fragrance and perfume have long been symbols of personal expression, yet choosing the right scent can be a daunting task. That’s why WHO IS ELIJAH has these online perfume shopping insights! 

Tip #1: Get to know your notes like a true scent connoisseur.

Women’s fragrance and perfume tell a story in three layers: top, middle, and base notes. Here, they’re The First Impression (top notes), The Heart (middle notes), and The Sillage (base notes).

Top notes are your first impression; they burst forth with a lively, sometimes zesty introduction that grabs attention. Once these dissipate, the middle notes take center stage, offering complexity through blooms of flora, spices, or mouth-watering fruits that provide depth and character. Finally, the base notes linger longest, grounding the fragrance with warm, lasting tones like creamy musk or rich vanilla. 

Understanding how these notes work helps you imagine how choices like spicy cologne and other unisex perfumes will actually smell throughout the day. This way, you can rely on detailed listings and perfume reviews even if you can’t test it yourself.

Tip #2: Fragrance families will help you find your vibe faster.

Whether it’s a perfume for summer or perfume for winter, fragrances usually fall into families like floral, woody, spicy, fresh, and gourmand – each with its own personality. Knowing which scent family resonates with you can transform the sea of perfume choices into a more manageable selection. 

Florals can be enchanting with their soft, romantic petals, while woody blends evoke the calm, earthy essence of the forest. Gourmand fragrances are playful, often rich in the sweetness of vanilla or caramel, enough to make you feel as if you’ve walked into a bakery. 

For a bold but sophisticated aroma, woody-amber-floral Australian fragrances might strike a chord; alternatively, a citrusy-floral hybrid can cater to fresh vibes. 

If you’re into women’s fragrance and perfume that feel bold but balanced, you might gravitate toward something like a woody-amber-floral blend. WHO IS ELIJAH’s NOMAD is one of those. On the other hand, if you prefer something playful and juicy, citrus-floral combinations like CHERRY FIESTA might be for you.

Tip #3: Your scent should match the moment. 

Think of women’s fragrance and perfume like your outfit – it should fit the vibe. Different occasions, different weather, different times of the day all demand their unique olfactory experiences. 

To give you an idea, you can start your day with a light, invigorating citrus scent, like OCEAN EYES, great for that sunny morning brunch. As dusk approaches, you might lean into a more mysterious, spicy note like HAZE, blending seamlessly into the crisp air of autumn or an evening out. 

When going through online perfume choices, envisioning when and where a scent will accompany you can guide your search and align your fragrance choices with both moment and mood. 

Tip #4: Discovery sets are your best friend.

Don’t guess – sample. The WHO IS ELIJAH DISCOVERY SET lets you try a mini lineup of top sellers without committing to a full-sized purchase. It’s an invitation to experiment at your leisure, helping you discern which scents resonate with your unique taste, emotions, and skin chemistry. Instead of dealing with buyer’s regret, you can indulge in this sensory adventure to confidently choose the one that fits.

Tip #5: Longevity and sillage matter more than you think.

The beauty of Australian perfume lies in its ability to linger, leaving a scent trail that intertwines with your identity throughout the day. Some fragrances whisper subtly over hours, while others can quite literally announce your presence like an exclamation point. 

WHO IS ELIJAH balances both these extremes, as our fragrances are designed to stay with you all day without overwhelming the room. Whether you’ll use it as a perfume for special occasions or perfume for office wear, test how your fave lasts from morning to night to get a feel for it.

Tip #6: Wear what sets you on fire.

At the end of the day, scent is personal. Choosing a fragrance should be as instinctive as celebrating who you are, rather than conforming to societal gender labels, fleeting trends, or what anyone else thinks. Don’t limit yourself to options labelled as women’s fragrance and perfume when the right choice for you could be genderless. 

WHO IS ELIJAH perfume sets were made for rule-breakers and scent-lovers. All our fragrances are genderless, edgy, and built to feel like an extension of you. 

So go with your gut, not just what women’s perfume brands say. Spray what makes you feel good.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How do I know if a perfume is too strong or too light?

If a women’s fragrance and perfume vanishes within an hour, your skin chemistry might not be holding on to lighter notes as well. Conversely, a scent that hits you and everyone in the room like a wall might be too strong. To find your unique balance, sampling is the way to go. WHO IS ELIJAH provides 2ml samples with larger 50ml or 100ml bottles, so you can try a scent before you fully commit. 

Give it time to settle on your skin before deciding if it aligns with your personal scent preferences. If a particular aroma from our fragrance perfume shop doesn’t suit you, just send the unopened full-sized bottle within 14 days for either a refund or store credit (conditions apply). 

How do I layer perfume for a longer-lasting scent?

If you want to know how to make perfume last longer on skin, start by applying your scent to pulse points such as the wrists, neck, and behind the ears. These areas emit heat that helps diffuse the scent throughout the day. 

For added longevity, a light mist over your clothing can work, but be cautious with delicate fabrics to avoid potential damage. Plus, if you’re feeling adventurous, try layering women’s fragrance and perfume with similar notes or from the same scent family.

Can a fragrance change over time on my skin?

Absolutely, fragrances are meant to evolve on your skin. Perfumes go through a fascinating adventure from top to base notes, with the perfume changing in character as it settles on your skin. Initially, you encounter the top notes’ vibrancy and allure, but these soon make way for the core middle notes that embody the heart of the fragrance. As the hours pass, the base notes emerge with an intimate finish.
