Building Your Fragrance Collection

A fragrance wardrobe is a collection of perfumes that you can rotate based on your mood, the season, the occasion, or even the outfit you're wearing. Think of it as an olfactory closet, filled with different scents to suit your varying needs and desires.

Now, you might wonder, how many perfumes should you have in your collection? The answer is as many as you need to express your diverse moods and styles! Whether you prefer keeping a minimalist collection with everyday perfumes or want to explore a wide spectrum of fragrances, we've got you covered.

The journey to building a fragrance collection should be fun and exciting. Start by exploring different scent families – floral, woody, fruity, spicy, and more. Our all-perfumes collection is a great place to start your exploration. Don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone and try something new. You might just find a new favourite!

Categorising Your Perfumes

Perfumes are typically grouped into four main categories: Fresh, Floral, Oriental, and Woody. Each category has a unique character and is further divided into subcategories. For instance, our floral perfume collection includes a variety of scents from light and delicate to rich and intense.

Grouping your perfumes based on their scent profile not only makes your collection visually appealing but also makes it easier for you to choose a perfume based on your mood or the occasion. Are you feeling playful and energetic? Reach out for a fruity perfume from our fruit perfumes collection. Want to exude elegance and sophistication? A scent from our elegant perfume collection would be perfect.

Categorising your perfumes can be a fun and enlightening exercise. It can help you understand your scent preferences better and guide you in expanding your collection. It's like creating a scent map that leads to discovering your signature scent.

Storing Your Perfumes

Now that you've started building and categorising your perfume collection, it's crucial to understand how to properly store them. Perfumes are delicate creations that can be affected by heat, light, and humidity. Therefore, your perfume bottles should be stored in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature fluctuations.

Avoid storing your fragrances in the bathroom, as the heat and humidity from showers can degrade the perfume's quality over time. Instead, consider keeping them in your bedroom, inside a drawer or a cupboard. Our quality perfume collection is packed with scents that are meticulously crafted and deserve the utmost care.

It's also worth noting that the lifespan of perfumes can vary. Generally, most perfumes can last anywhere between 3 to 5 years. However, this can be extended if the perfume is stored properly. Remember, a well-preserved perfume can offer you a timeless scent experience.

Sampling Multiple Fragrances

Before adding a new perfume to your collection, sampling is key! It allows you to experience the fragrance on your skin and see how it evolves over time. This is because everyone's skin chemistry is unique, and a perfume can smell differently on different people.

When you're sampling multiple fragrances, apply each on a different pulse point for easy comparison. You can also use scent strips if you don't want to apply the perfume directly onto your skin. Remember, patience is key here. Allow the fragrance to settle and evolve before making a decision.

At Àerre, we understand the importance of sampling and offer a wide range of unisex perfumes that you can try. Sampling is a fun and exciting way to explore new scents and find ones that truly resonate with you.

Layering Perfumes

Layering perfumes is an art. It's about combining two or more fragrances to create a unique scent that's completely your own. It's like being a perfumer in your own right! However, layering perfumes require a bit of understanding about the scent families and how they interact with each other.

Generally, you can layer up to three perfumes at once. But remember, the key is balance. Start with a lighter scent as your base and then add a stronger scent. For instance, you can start with a fresh, citrusy scent from our summer perfume collection, and then layer it with a floral or woody scent.

To make your layered scent last, apply each layer after the previous one has dried down. Also, apply your perfume on pulse points like your wrists, behind your ears, and your neck. These areas are warmer and will help diffuse the scent beautifully throughout the day.
