FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions
Fragrance
How to choose the right fragrance?
Fragrances are categorized into families like floral, oriental, woody, or fresh. Start by identifying which family appeals to you most, then explore different scents within that category. Understanding the notes used in fragrances can help refine your selection.
What is a top note, heart note and a base note?
The top notes are the initial scents that last 15 minutes. Heart notes (middle notes) form the main body of the fragrance and lasts for about 2-3 hours. Base notes are the final scents that remain until the end of the day. Read our blog for more information.
What is the difference between Eau de Parfums (EDP), Eau de Toilette (EDT) and Eau de Cologne?
The difference lies in oil concentration. EDP has the highest (15-20%) concentration, followed by EDT (5-15%), then Eau de Cologne (2-4%). All Fernweh fragrances are Eau de Parfums. Read our blog for more information.
How should I store my fragrance?
Keep in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and heat. Avoid bathroom storage.
How long does a fragrance typically last on skin?
Our EDPs typically last 6-8 hours on the skin. Duration varies based on skin type and environmental conditions. Apply to moisturized skin for better longevity.
What are pulse points and why should I apply fragrance there?
Pulse points are areas where blood vessels are close to the skin (wrists, neck, behind ears). These warm spots help diffuse the fragrance better.
