Which perfume suits me?

For many women, a perfume is more than just a pleasant smell, but much more a personal trademark. If you don’t want to go back to your favorite perfume, but are looking for new fragrances, you should therefore be willing to think outside the box. There are very different factors that can decide whether a fragrance suits your own character or not. For this reason, we have designed a guide for you in the following, which shows you the way to the perfect fragrance in just five steps.

Matching the fragrance to the styling

First of all, choosing the right fragrance is also a question of personal fashion style. Mehr dazu: FragranceTip Accordingly, the perfume should also match the choice of clothes. If you prefer a more comfortable style of dress in everyday life, you should also underline this with a suitable fragrance. Glamor and luxury are more likely to be exuded by luxurious fragrances from Givenchy, if you would describe yourself as an absolute fashion victim. Sporty types, on the other hand, should rather go for a fresh note to emphasize their esprit.

Consider your own skin type

Although you rarely hear it, but for a perfume it is not so bad to have an oily skin type. This is because a perfume sticks to the body’s own oils much longer than it does to dry skin. Of course, this must be taken into account when choosing different fragrances. Here, it is especially important to focus on citrus notes to provide a refreshing scent and gently support the skin’s appearance. Dry and sensitive skin types, on the other hand, are difficult to typologize. This is because very sensitive skin often reacts to certain ingredients, so natural fragrances should be used as much as possible to avoid further damaging the skin’s appearance.

The first impression is the most important

Anyone looking for new fragrances in a perfumery should not worry too much about whether this fragrance actually suits their personal style. After all, the important thing is that the fragrance leaves a positive impression. Accordingly, the first impression of a perfume is crucial to finding a new and exciting fragrance.

Consider the body care

Before testing different fragrances, make sure that you have avoided too strong fragrances in your grooming routine. Because both shower gel, as deodorant, can strongly influence the perception of a perfume. So it is important to leave out the deodorant on the day of the fragrance test.

Do not be dazzled by the flacon

The flacons of high-quality perfume brands are often very unusual and therefore particularly appealing. But what is important is what is in the flacon. Not the flacon should decide on the choice of a perfume, but the fragrance alone.

Women’s fragrances: sensual, elegant & feminine

Whether a romantic date by candlelight, a relaxing day at the beach or Sunday brunch with the girls – every occasion deserves its very own fragrance. Today’s luxury brands see it that way, too. From Givenchy to Yves Saint Laurent to Dior, a multitude of new fragrances hit the market every year. We have presented our favorites here.

Irrésistible by Givenchy: perfume full of joie de vivre

Woody, floral, sensual – that’s how the fragrance by Givenchy can be described. The perfume is bursting with elegance and joie de vivre. Its woody note is given to the perfume byPr the base note consisting of Virginia cedar and musk. The whole is rounded off by the fresh scent of pear and ambrette, paired with a heart note of rose and iris.  This is where joie de vivre is sprayed. See for yourself!

Libre by YSL: Sensual fragrance of contrasts

For the rebellious ladies among us, the fragrance “Libre” from the house of YSL is suitable. Here, feminine sensuality meets cool masculinity.

Freedom without limits – perfectly brought to the screen by pop singer Dua Lipa.

Make Up by Lancôme: Mascara, Foundation and Lipsticks

Lancome can also be seen in the field of make-up. The brand has a wide range of different make-up products. We have collected popular products for the perfect make-up look for you here.

Perfect foundation for your skin type : Teint Idole, Teint Miracle and Hydra Zen

The perfect make-up starts with the optimal foundation. Lancome offers products for different skin needs and the color selection tries to offer you a perfect match. Small tip: If you should not find your skin tone despite the large color selection, you can mix the colors with each other. If you want to mix different foundations, check first if both have the same base. For example, water-based foundations don’t blend well with oil-based foundations. This could lead to an unsightly, blotchy result.

In general, the base of foundation can be of great relevance when buying, as different skin types have different needs. For example, water-based foundations are suitable for skin that tends to produce excessive sebum. Oil-based foundations pair better with dry skin. Wax-based foundations, such as stick foundations, promise better durability, but can stay on the skin and be more difficult to blend, depending on the skin type.

These are all things you should be aware of before buying foundation, so you can make the perfect choice. If you have a favorite foundation but want to try something new or haven’t found the perfect color yet, just take a look at the composition and compare it with the ingredients of the foundation you have your eye on. Here we have collected a few foundations from Lancome and also tell you the same for which skin type these are best suited.

• Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Wear: oily and combination skin (oil-free, matte finish)
• Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Stick: normal and dry skin (with oil and paraffin-like substances)
• Lancome Teint Miracle: very dry to normal skin (water-based with glycerine)
• Lancome Hydra Zen BB Cream: oily, combination and normal skin (water-based with alcohol)
• Lancome Teint Visionnaire: 2 in 1 for mature skin

Of course, there’s hardly anything like a test, but this way you can start your foundation purchase prepared.

Therefore, Lancome has developed a facial care series, which should allow to bring the spa feeling at home. Because constant stress also makes itself felt in the skin and face. Lancome wants to fight these signs like small wrinkles with Hydra Zen. Relaxing and moisturizing, with the following products you can bring the spa home:

• Eau Micellaire Confort
• Hydra Zen Jelly Mask
• Hydra Zen Anti-Stress Cream
• Hydra Zen Anti-Stress Eye-Care

Imagine you come home in the evening. The day was exhausting and your nerves are tense. A hot drink or a glass of wine is what you want. So you grab the drink of your choice and head for the bathroom. There you draw yourself a hot bath. While the bath water flows into the tub, you remove the residues of the day from your face with the Eau Micellaire Confort. You tuck your hair out of your face and apply the refreshing Hydra Zen Jelly Mask. Then you slowly slide into the comforting warm bathtub. With a book, a film, a radio play, relaxing music or whatever helps you to switch off. You soak up the warmth. Your muscles relax. The daily routine is behind you. Maybe you even lit some candles or used a fragrant bubble bath.

After a while you get out of your bath water, which has cooled down a bit in the meantime. You wrap yourself in a towel and spread your favorite body lotion in massaging movements on your skin. Then it’s time for your face. The mask is washed off and the soft skin that appears underneath is treated with the Hydra Zen Anti-Stress Cream. Gently spread the nourishing cream over your skin. Finally, take care of the delicate skin around your eyes with Hydra Zen Anti-Stress Eye-Care. The stress of the day is behind you and you can relax in bed.

Nutrix: Care for face and body

The Nutrix skincare range by Lancome offers a rich selection of products for face and body. They offer the perfect complement to the relaxing products of the Hydra Zen series. So if you want to add Lancome body care to your spa routine, the Nutrix range is the place to go. The range offers hand cream, body lotion and a moisturiser for that extra dose of care.What’s the difference between lotion and cream? We’ll tell you here:

The main difference lies in the richness of the products. Body creams and body butters usually have a higher fat content. This has a greater care effect, but at the same time they need longer to be absorbed. Body creams and butters often leave an oily film on the skin. Body lotions on the other hand focus more on moisture retention with the help of glycerine. While glycerin has the advantage of being plant-based and less greasy on the skin, it can also leave a sticky film. On the other hand, body lotions are lighter and absorb faster into the skin.
