Projection comparisons
How to compare the projection of citrus perfumes
For citrus projection comparisons, separate how bright the opening smells to you from how noticeable the perfume is around the wearer. Use exact candidates, comparable occasions and another observation later in the wear.
A HUME Fragrance buying guide
Identify the citrus context
Citrus with aromatic or woody support can develop differently. Read the whole structure rather than choosing only by the word bergamot or lemon.
Avoid side-by-side overload
Separate trials help keep the perfumes identifiable. If using outside feedback, ask a willing observer in a suitable setting using the same kind of description.
Track later presence
The citrus impression becoming quieter does not establish that every supporting scent is absent. Record the full later character separately from projection.
Try this before you buy
Ask whether the opening is bright and whether the whole scent is noticeable as two different questions.
