What is the difference between testers and regular fragrances?
There is no difference between the regular fragrances and testers or unboxed fragrances. Testers are products manufactured by the original designer of the fragrances for promotional purposes only. Some are offered in simply white or brown plain boxes with or without a cap. Some might even have the word "tester" or demonstration written on the bottle. Some Testers come without boxes, but are packaged well to get to the destination safe, without a scratch.

What is the meanng of different perfume concentrations?
A fragrance comes in four different levels of concentration. The higher the concentration, the more the price. They are as follows from least concentrated to most:
Eau de Cologne - this is the least concentrated amongst the four levels fragrance lasts up to 2 hours
Eau de Toilette - this is more concentrated and most popular type. It lasts up to 2-3 hours.
Eau de Parfum - this is the second most concentrated type of fragrance that lasts up to 6 hours.
Perfume or Parfum - this is the most highly concentrated type of fragrance that lasts all day with least application.
Why do some fragrances seem to last much longer than others?
People with dry skin usually find their fragrance holding time shorter than those with oily skin because oily skin has more natural moisture to hold in the fragrance.
PH levels (amount of acidity in our skin) also varies slightly from person to person. Our individual levels of PH will determine how each ingredient in a fragrance will react.

How can I make my scent last longer?
Fragrance lasts longer on some people than on others because of differences in our skin (oily or dry) and in our PH levels. To achieve a longer effect, try layering your fragrance. Using the fragrance bath gel, (if the company offers one), then the moisturizer or powder, and then the Eau de Toilette, Eau de Parfum or Eau de Cologne, will usually have a longer lasting effect.
Also, apply your fragrance low on the body, as well as behind your ears and on your neck, so that the scent rises and you won't lose it as quickly. A light spray on the hair can last all day.

What is the difference between a splash and a spray?
There is absolutely no difference in the fragrance. The difference is in the application only. However, a spray bottle, being ostensibly sealed all the time, may actually have a longer shelf life. Making the decision between spray and splash is entirely a matter of personal preference.

Why do some men wear Cologne, and others prefer to wear After Shave?
Cologne's fragrance will generally last much longer than After Shave. However, many men choose to wear both. The fragrance lasts longer, you can use less of each, and you get the facial benefit of an After Shave.

Why does fragrance contain alcohol?
Alcohol makes the fragrance emanate from your skin. Without alcohol, you would be the only person who knew you were wearing any fragrance at all.

How can I keep my fragrance from going bad?
Keep all fragrance in a cool, dry area, and away from windows as sunlight can unbalance the various ingredients. An opened bottle should be kept in its box to insure a longer shelf life.
