How to Choose Perfume for Your Personality | Alice and Bruce Guide
Choosing the perfect perfume can be overwhelming—but it doesn't have to be. At alice&bruce, we simplify the process by helping you understand how perfumes work, how to select the right one for your personality and lifestyle, and how to get the most out of your fragrance.
This guide covers everything from fragrance notes to application tips—all tailored to our luxury-inspired, 30% EDP perfume range.
What Is EDP and Why 30% Matters
EDP stands for Eau de Parfum, a perfume concentration known for its intensity and longevity. While most commercial EDPs contain 15–20% fragrance oil, alice&bruce perfumes offer a powerful 30% concentration.
Benefits of 30% EDP:
-
Longer-lasting scent (6 to 10+ hours)
-
Deeper fragrance trails (sillage)
-
Minimal need for reapplication
-
Better value per spray
This higher concentration makes our perfumes ideal for all-day wear, special events, or lasting impressions.

How to Apply Perfume for Maximum Impact
-
Apply to pulse points: wrists, neck, behind ears, and inner elbows
-
Don’t rub—let it air dry to preserve top notes
-
Apply on moisturized skin for better longevity
-
Avoid spraying directly on clothes (some fabrics may stain)
Pro Tip: Spray lightly on your hairbrush before running it through dry hair for subtle diffusion.
Perfume Storage Tips
Perfume quality can degrade over time if stored incorrectly. Follow these tips:
-
Keep bottles in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight
-
Store them upright and sealed tightly
-
Avoid humidity—bathroom cabinets are not ideal
With proper care, your perfume can retain its aroma and strength for 12 to 24 months or more.
Layering Fragrances (Advanced Tip)
You can create a unique scent by layering two compatible perfumes. For example:
-
Floral + Woody = Balanced and elegant
-
Citrus + Oriental = Bright with a warm finish
Try combinations slowly and note how the scent evolves over time.
