Fragrance Guide

Choosing a perfume is a personal journey.

At Evig Glans Paris, we believe that fragrance is more than a pleasant scent. It is an invisible expression of your personality, mood, memory and presence.

This Fragrance Guide is created to help you understand perfume notes, fragrance families, seasons, occasions and how to choose the right scent for yourself.

Evig Glans Paris is an international luxury perfume house by HOUSE OF FM PARIS.

Understanding Perfume Notes

Every perfume is created in layers. These layers are known as notes.

A fine fragrance does not smell exactly the same from the first spray to the final dry down. It opens, develops and settles over time.

Top Notes

Top notes are the first notes you smell immediately after spraying a perfume.

They create the opening impression of the fragrance. Top notes are usually fresh, bright, sharp, citrusy, fruity, aromatic or sparkling.

Common top notes include:

Bergamot

Lemon

Orange

Grapefruit

Mint

Lavender

Apple

Pear

Pink Pepper

Top notes are important because they create the first attraction of the perfume.

Heart Notes

Heart notes are the main character of the perfume.

They appear after the top notes begin to settle. Heart notes create the emotional body of the fragrance and define its personality.

Common heart notes include:

Rose

Jasmine

Violet

Geranium

Cinnamon

Cardamom

Saffron

Iris

White Flowers

Heart notes are where the true beauty of a perfume begins to unfold.

Base Notes

Base notes are the deepest and longest lasting part of the perfume.

They appear after the fragrance settles on the skin and create the final dry down. Base notes give perfume depth, richness, warmth and lasting power.

Common base notes include:

Oud

Amber

Musk

Vanilla

Sandalwood

Cedarwood

Patchouli

Tonka Bean

Leather

Vetiver

Base notes are very important for longevity, projection and sillage.

Understanding Longevity, Projection and Sillage

Longevity

Longevity means how long a perfume lasts after application.

A perfume’s longevity depends on concentration, ingredients, skin type, weather and storage.

Projection

Projection means how far the perfume travels from your body.

Strong projection means people around you can notice the fragrance without being extremely close.

Sillage

Sillage means the scent trail your perfume leaves behind.

A perfume with good sillage creates a beautiful presence even after you pass by.

Why Concentration Matters

Perfume concentration affects richness, strength and lasting power.

Evig Glans Paris perfumes are created with high perfume concentration, with compositions reaching 40% concentration. This helps create a deeper, richer and longer lasting fragrance experience.

However, concentration is only one part of performance. The quality of ingredients, balance of the formula, skin chemistry and storage also matter.

How to Test a Perfume Properly

To understand a perfume properly, do not judge it only from the first spray.

Follow this process:

Spray the perfume on clean skin

Wait for the top notes to settle

Observe the heart notes after some time

Experience the dry down

Notice how it feels after a few hours

A fine perfume should be experienced in its full journey from opening to dry down.

Common Perfume Mistakes to Avoid

Avoid these mistakes to enjoy your perfume better:

Do not rub the perfume after spraying

Do not store perfume in sunlight

Do not keep perfume in the bathroom

Do not overspray very strong perfumes

Do not judge a perfume only by the first few seconds

Do not compare performance only on paper strips

Do not keep perfume in extreme heat

Proper use and care can make your fragrance experience much better.
