How to Pick the Right Perfume?

Selecting an appropriate perfume is not just a matter of selecting a nice smell. The right perfume can fit your character, it can make you feel confident and have a striking effect. There are too many choices, floral, fruity, woody, spicy, etc., it may seem like you do not know which one fits you better.

Depending on your skin tone, your way of life and even the time of the year, the perfume may smell differently on you. It is why it is important to test and learn about various scent families. Be it a purchase made by yourself or someone dear to you, this guide will guide you to the right purchase.

1. Understand the Brand Philosophy

An excellent perfume begins with a vision. Our philosophy is straightforward at Oud Al Meydan, which is tradition and luxury. We mix the secrets of the ancient Middle East with the modern craft. By buying a bottle of a brand that appreciates heritage, you are not merely buying a bottle; you are buying art.

2. Check the Ingredient Quality

The most successful perfumes are those whose ingredients are of high quality. Our oud, musk and floral oils are sourced in the finest places in the world.

Natural Oils: These are used in interacting with your skin to produce a special fragrance.

Purity: The higher the purity, the higher the scent would remain unaltered and the chemical smell would not occur after an hour.

3. Know the Oil Concentration

The duration of a perfume is determined by the level of fragrance oil.

• Eau de Toilette (EDT): Lighter, can be used in a gym or in the course of short errands.
• Eau de Parfum (EDP): Has a stronger impact, and it lasts 6-8 hours.
• Parfum/Extrait: The most powerful. These are the most luxurious and last 12 hours.

4. Use the Scent Pyramid

Perfumes have three layers that are called notes:

1. Top Notes: This is the smell you see at the very beginning (Citrus, Berries). They fade fast.

2. Heart Notes: It is the soul of the perfume (Rose, Jasmine, Spices).

3. Base Notes: The heavy perfumes that do not fade away (Oud, Amber, Sandalwood).

5. Match the Scent to the Occasion

Not all perfumes suit all occasions. The following are some of the straightforward examples:

• For the Day: Select fresh or light or floral perfumes. Perfect at the work place or the lunch dates.
• For the Night: Select heavy, woody, or spicy fragrances. These feel bold and elegant.
• For Men: Find cedar, leather, or powerful oud.
• For Women: seek out vanilla, jasmine or mellow musk.
• UNISEX: Most of our  Oud Al Meydan perfumes are made to be enjoyed by everyone.

6. Trust the Craftsmanship

All of our bottles are made in a strict process. Our master mixes the oils manually to make the mix flawless. It is this art which makes our customers believe in us. Read the reviews of customers before purchasing. Actual feedback will help you understand how the scent works in real life.
