Although it seems simple, choosing a fragrance is not an easy task. And it is necessary to take into account that not because a perfume smells rich to your best friend, it will necessarily be the perfect one for you. That is why it is always recommended that you apply the fragrance and go home before buying to find out if it really is for you. However, there are also other steps you should take before deciding on your new perfume, especially if you prefer natural ones. That is why we spoke with the expert perfumer Matthew Mileo, founder of the beauty brand Milèo, a collection of elixir that promise to impact the skin and calm the mind, so that he would share with us those other things that should be taken into account before buying that perfume that catches your attention so much.

1 - Always look for a fragrance that has a superior fixative [such as] orris roots, ambrette seeds and agarwood, which are considered the top three [fixatives] in the world. They will catch all the notes so that the fragrance is stable and long-lasting.

2 - Always look for citrus-free fragrances. Citrus oils oxidize faster, making the skin more sensitive, and often change the essence and sometimes turn the fragrance brown. To prevent this from happening, stabilizers and other chemicals are used, but why do you want to have that on your skin?

3 - Always apply fragrance to skin and hair, instead of clothing. It is important that you adapt the perfume to your skin and not to your clothes. Your body heat and natural pheromones will make the fragrance adapt. That is the best way to know if that fragrance for you or not.

4 - Always choose natural fragrances. They may not last long but at least your skin gets a touch of aromatherapy to make you calmer and more focused.

5 - Never apply too much fragrance. The trick to using a natural fragrance is to stop thinking about what it is. If you think that when you can't smell it, it's because it's already gone, it's not the truth. Other people can smell your fragrance even though your brain has turned off its receptors for you to smell. This is how you can know if a fragrance is 100% natural. You won't be able to smell it after an hour, but it will wander around your nose.
