The types of perfumes that people like the most (and that are ideal for giving as gifts)

Why do some perfumes sell better than others? What is it about them that makes us so intoxicated and so crazy about them?

It is true that each of us has our own tastes (and they are quite varied), but there are some aromas that almost everyone likes , so we have started to investigate why. Let's see what types of perfumes are the most popular , and in this way we will give you ideas so that you can give them to that special person.

PERFUMES THAT EVOKE MOMENTS

Scents are the kings of evocation . Although we may not consciously realize it, our subconscious captures the aromas of a place and locks them away forever in a place in our memory. And when we smell them again... boom! We are automatically transported back to the moment when we smelled them.

Of course, master perfumers know the great power of evoking moments, as these provoke emotions in us, and emotions move the world . For this reason, they play a lot with this and create perfumes with ingredients that are very characteristic of certain moments and places .

For example, aquatic perfumes that remind us of the sea , of summer , of the freedom of sailing on a boat and feeling the sea breeze on our face… Synonymous with happiness, don't you think? Or, for example, fougère perfumes , which evoke a lush, hidden forest , which undoubtedly manages to relax and give peace to the wearer.

PERFUMES THAT TRANSMIT SENSATIONS TO YOU

Other perfumes not only evoke moments, but their components directly affect your mood . I bet you don't use the same fragrance to go to work as you do to go out or to a romantic dinner.

There are some perfumes like these that attract positive energy that gives us a boost of energy to face the day with more enthusiasm, so they are ideal for going to work or for facing the routine. Citrus perfumes are also great for this.

On the other hand, oriental perfumes are much more sensual and intoxicating , which is why they are the best allies for a special night or to feel the center of attention on any occasion. They make you feel sexy and ravishing, which is why they are so popular. In fact, oriental floral perfumes are the favorites for women . Two of those that are always in the top sales are our DIVAIN-187 or Black Orchid (DIVAIN-542) .

The equivalent of oriental floral perfumes for women in men are woody perfumes . These aromas are powerful and give character and presence to the wearer, which is why they are also tremendously intoxicating. They never fail .

They are formulated with components such as oud , vetiver , wood or sandalwood . Some of the best woody perfumes for men are spicy ones , such as our DIVAIN-010 or the Code fragrance by Armani (DIVAIN-025) .

FRAGRANCES THAT GIVE PEACE

It is normal that every time we have the opportunity we look for moments that put us in a state of peace and tranquility to escape from this crazy and dizzying world in which we live.

Candles, good music and a glass of wine are ideal for achieving this, even more so if you accompany them with powdery perfumes or perfumes with a clean smell . Smells have the ability to relax and intoxicate us, especially if they are pleasant and specifically designed for this purpose, as in this case.

PERFUMES WITH PHEROMONES

Perfumes with pheromones also have a lot to do with whether a perfume is pleasing. Not in vain, pheromones are considered the drug of love and attraction .

That is why the men's perfumes that attract women the most and the women's perfumes that drive men crazy usually have a similarity to this substance, which is responsible for awakening attraction and passion .

INTENSE PERFUMES

Although there are many fans of soft perfumes (especially in times of scorching heat), more intense fragrances still win by a landslide . They are the ones that most intoxicate and capture our sense of smell.

Within the world of perfumery there are different degrees of intensity , so you will always be able to find a scent that suits you and your circumstances. In this article, you can see what the differences are between perfume, cologne, eau de toilette and eau de parfum .

OLFACTORY FAMILIES

Others that also have a lot to say are the olfactory families , that is, the classification of fragrances according to their main olfactory characteristic, either by their raw materials (flowers, woods, spices) or by their accords (oriental, chypre...).

There are some super popular ones, such as the floral olfactory family, and others that, if you are not into the exciting world of perfume, will sound like Mandarin Chinese to you, such as the gourmand or musky olfactory family .

The ones we mentioned are more popular because they have exquisite ingredients that everyone likes, in other words, the equivalent in terms of aromas of pizza or chocolate.

We hope that this review of the most popular types of perfume will help to clarify your doubts if you don't know which new fragrance to try or if you have to give a gift to someone special. You'll see that you'll be a success with any of them!
