PERFUME & PRODUCTS
How do I choose a perfume that suits me?
Perfume is personal. When making your choice, consider fragrance families and ingredients you enjoy wearing, such as fresh, floral, woody, spicy, sweet or oriental scents. Each fragrance includes information about its main fragrance notes and overall character. Unsure between different fragrances? Feel free to contact us or visit one of our stores for personal advice.
What is the difference between Eau de Toilette, Eau de Parfum, Parfum and Extrait de Parfum?
The main difference lies in the concentration of the fragrance composition. Eau de Toilette is generally lighter, while Eau de Parfum has a higher concentration. Parfum and Extrait de Parfum are usually more concentrated and may therefore feel fuller and last longer. However, actual fragrance development and longevity vary depending on the perfume, skin type, environment and use.
How long does a perfume last?
This varies by perfume and by person. Concentration, fragrance ingredients, skin type, temperature and method of application all influence longevity. The same fragrance can also develop differently on different skin types and may remain noticeable for a longer or shorter period.
Where can I discover PATRICE FRANSEZ perfumes in person?
PATRICE FRANSEZ has physical retail locations in Belgium, the Netherlands and the Czech Republic. View our opening hours and store locations for current information.
Which perfume collections does PATRICE FRANSEZ offer?
Our fragrance world consists of several collections, including THE ORIGIN COLLECTION, TIMELESS COLLECTION, BEYOND LIMITS COLLECTION and PRESTIGE COLLECTION. Within THE MAISON COLLECTION, you will also find our home and interior fragrances. Eau de cologne is also part of our range.
What is the best way to store my perfume?
Perfume is best stored in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and significant temperature fluctuations. A bathroom or an area exposed to direct sunlight is therefore less suitable. Proper storage helps preserve the quality of the perfume for as long as possible.
