#Frequently asked questions

What are Niche Perfumes?
A 'Niche' means scents that are often intriguing, uncommon, special, difficult to find, and, in some cases, expensive. In recent years, there has been a significant increase in 'niche' perfumery, with many intriguing new names entering the scent market. They all work with the same 'palette' of fragrance ingredients, but niche perfumers frequently experiment with risky combinations or are motivated by deeply personal events and experiences. Every fragrance has a story, and discovering 'niche' perfumes might be an excellent way to learn about the olfactory universe.
What is the difference between Scent/ Perfume and Fragrance?
Nothing. These words describe the lovely world of fragrance and the scented liquids (or balms) we apply to our bodies. Fragrance is more widely used in the United States and throughout the perfume business. Perfume is derived from the Latin 'per fumum,' which means "through the smoke." It dates back to ancient times, when humans burned woods, resins, and flowers as gifts to their gods - and you can learn more about the interesting history of smell.
How can I choose the right perfume for myself?
You can choose the right perfume by following the below-mentioned steps:
  • Choose your notes
  • Choose a concentration
What is the difference between Perfume, Eau de toilette, and Colognes?
The difference varies only in the concentration of perfume oils. Perfume has the highest concentration (20-30%), followed by Eau de perfume with 15-20% capabilities and cologne with just 2-5% concentration. These levels might affect the overall longevity and intensity of the scent.
What are the top, middle, and base notes in a fragrance?
Top notes are the first, lightest fragrances that you detect upon application. As the top notes fade, middle notes, also known as heart notes, develop and form the fragrance's primary body. Base notes are the darkest, most enduring fragrances that appear last and serve as a base.
What sets French Perfumes International apart from others?
French Perfumes International INC has been in the market for a long time, always delivering top-notch and branded fragrances tailored to your personality. In short, customer satisfaction is our top most priority.
Why does fragrance contain alcohol?
Alcohol causes the smell to exude from your skin, bringing out the overtones. It helps to keep the components blended, and when they evaporate, they release the scents into the air. Without alcohol, only you would be aware if you were wearing any fragrance.
How can I store my fragrance properly?
Store in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and temperature variations. To avoid light exposure, keep bottles well covered and, if possible, in their original boxes.
