Why New Year's Eve is a special challenge
New Year's Eve is a long night. You often start in the early evening and are out until well after midnight, indoors and outside in the cold. Light fragrances with lots of citrus have faded after just a few hours. A fragrance with a high concentration and heavy base notes, on the other hand, stays with you until morning. How long each concentration lasts is covered in Eau de Cologne, Eau de Toilette, Eau de Parfum, Extrait de Parfum: the differences.
Which fragrance notes suit New Year's Eve?
| Your New Year's Eve | Suitable notes |
|---|---|
| Party with dancing | creamy, sweet gourmand notes such as vanilla, praline, pistachio |
| Dinner for two | warm, spicy notes such as cinnamon, cardamom, leather, tonka bean |
| Celebrating outdoors in the cold | rich base notes such as amber, sandalwood, musk |
How to wear your fragrance on New Year's Eve
- On moisturised skin: an unscented lotion applied beforehand helps the fragrance hold on longer.
- Two sprays: neck and nape. If you will be outside a lot, add a third on your scarf or coat collar.
- A sample instead of the bottle: a 2 ml atomiser fits in any pocket in case you want to refresh after midnight.
