FAQ: Your most frequently asked questions about ODOR perfumes
1. which is better: perfume or eau de toilette?
Perfume and eau de toilette differ mainly in their intensity and durability. Eau de parfum contains a higher proportion of fragrance oils (approx. 15-20%) and therefore lasts longer on the skin - often several hours to a whole day. Eau de toilette has a lower proportion of fragrance oils (approx. 5-15%) and evaporates more quickly.
ODOR deliberately uses eau de parfum to offer you intense and long-lasting fragrance experiences. This means you need less product and can enjoy your favorite fragrance for longer.
2. how many sprays of perfume per application?
The right amount depends on the intensity of the fragrance and your personal preference. As a rule, 2-4 sprays are enough to leave a pleasant scent.
With the high-quality eau de parfums from ODOR, even less is often necessary, as the fragrances are particularly intense and long-lasting. It is advisable to apply the fragrance sparingly at first and add more later if necessary.
3. are ODOR perfumes genuine brands?
ODOR offers exclusive in-house creations that are characterized by special fragrance compositions. Our perfumes are inspired by well-known fragrances, but have been developed independently and are legally harmless. This means that you receive high-quality fragrances that you can feel familiar with without infringing trademark rights.
4. how long does perfume last?
The shelf life of perfume depends on its composition and storage. On average, most perfumes stay fresh for 3 to 6 years. It is important to store the perfume correctly so that the fragrance does not evaporate or change.
A tip: Pay attention to changes in color or smell. If the fragrance changes unpleasantly or the liquid becomes darker, the perfume may no longer be usable.
5 Where should I store my perfume?
To maximize shelf life, store your perfume in a dark, dry place, away from direct sunlight and temperature fluctuations. Cupboards, drawers or other cool, protected areas are ideal.
Avoid storing it in the bathroom, as humidity and heat can cause the fragrance to evaporate more quickly. The original packaging also offers additional protection from light and air.
