Get ready for a spring and summer season full of flower scents, intense and sweet fruity smells. There will also be room for the intense scents of amber and incense, and fresh touches.

What is the best scent for women’s perfume?

The one that makes you feel great and confident. You can have several perfumes for every occasion, mood, season, and even outfit. Use lighter fragrances in spring and summer, and dense and spicy fragrances in autumn and winter. In the end, it depends on each person.

How to apply perfume correctly?

Apply it to warm areas of the body, such as behind the ears, wrists, or neck. A small amount is enough to last all day. If you apply it after a shower, the moist skin will retain it. Likewise, apply a lotion before spraying the perfume to favor the fixation of the aroma.
