Perfume is a fragrant liquid made from essential oils and aroma compounds, used to enhance personal aroma. Its history dates back to ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia for various uses, including rituals and hygiene. Modern perfumes come in various forms: Eau de Parfum (15-20% fragrance), Eau de Toilette (5-15%), Eau de Cologne (2-4%), and solid perfumes. When choosing a fragrance, consider personal scent preferences, occasion suitability, and longevity. For effective application, use pulse points, avoid overapplication, and layer with similar scents. Proper storage ensures longevity. Finding the right perfume is a journey of self-expression and personal style.
