THE NOTES

When you explore a perfume, you will notice that it evolves over time, revealing different facets of its character. These transformations result from the perfume notes, which unfold in three distinct stages. Simply put, it’s like an opera in three acts.

• Top Notes: These are the first olfactory impressions you perceive as soon as you spray the perfume. They are often fresh and lively to capture your attention and awaken your senses. Citrus notes like lemon and bergamot are common in this phase.

• Heart Notes: After a few moments, the heart notes reveal themselves, forming the emotional core of the perfume. They are softer and rounder than the top notes, offering a sense of warmth and depth. Floral, fruity, or spicy accords are often present in this stage.

• Base Notes: These represent the foundation of the olfactory pyramid. They form the base upon which the perfume rests. They emerge after some time, often hours after application, and are the most enduring. Elements like sandalwood, musk, or vanilla provide a lasting and enveloping base. So now, to the question : How to choose a perfume ? You have the basic knowledge to help you in this lonely quest.

THE IDEAL PERFUME IS ABOVE ALL A PERSONAL STORY

Finding your signature perfume can take a minute or years. The olfactory crush can vary depending on your desires, what you wear, the season, or even your age. The best way to discover and know your tastes (floral, woody, oriental ...) in terms of perfume is to test the scents on your skin.

You now have the keys to choosing the perfect fragrance: one that will accompany you day or night in your loveliest or wildest adventures and will never let you down. Let yourself be carried away by the unique Rabanne scents that transport you to new sensory horizons while adding that irresistible touch of "je ne sais quoi" and avant-garde.
