Tips for Choosing Perfume After 60
- Skin chemistry changes: Mature skin may hold scents differently, often enhancing deeper, warmer notes.
- Test before buying: Spritz on your wrist and let it develop for a few hours before deciding.
- Less is more: A subtle, refined scent is often more sophisticated than a heavy spray.
- Layer with lotion: Unscented or lightly scented moisturizer can enhance longevity.
