Our guide to Fragrances & Perfumes

Smelling good is just as important as looking good. Fragrances can make or break your outfit in today’s fashion climate. Top fashion brands have picked up the fragrance bottle with the likes of Moncler and Off White ℅ Virgil Abloh curating their own scents in recent seasons. 

 

It’s great to have a fragrance in your beauty routine, but important to understand the difference in types and what their purposes are for to get the most from your smells! Here at My Hair and Beauty, we have curated this fragrance buying guide covering mens and women’s fragrance types and which one you should go with, so you have the knowledge to curate some impressive scents.

Our fragrance selection at My Hair and Beauty

We stock an extensive range of premium fragrances and scents, all categorised across our website for an easy shopping experience - 

  • Eau De Toilette

  • Eau De Parfum

  • Anti Perspirant

  • Roll On

  • Body Spray

We stock scents from leading international brands, so you can get top quality fragrances at affordable prices. We’ll run through each in turn, so you’re informed when it comes to making a selection.

- Eau De Toilette

French for “water of the toilette” this type of fragrance is used to give your whole body and hair a pleasant, appealing smell. It has a mixture of scented oils, alcohol and small amounts of water. They are commonly known as aftershaves.

 

With around 8-12% of perfume oil in its makeup, Eau De Toilettes are fairly strong in their aroma and will definitely have heads turning depending on which branded fragrance you opt for. We stock a wide variety that are available in different size bottles. They can start at 30ml and go all the way up to 100ml. 

 

Bronley England is one of our top brand picks. Their fragrances smell beautiful and give off a pleasant scent that is easy on the nose.

Eau De Toilette fragrances are perfect for those looking to make a fresh, scented statement.

- Eau De Parfum

Eau De Parfum translates to “Perfume Water”. With a higher oil concentration De Parfum traditionally has a bolder, longer lasting smell. The perfume oil content is slightly higher ranging from 10-15% so a little higher than De Toilettes. 

 

They last longer than other fragrances and go perfect for business meetings and dinner dates. Close quarter socialising will make your De Parfum scent radiate subtly as it tickles the air around you and your close ones. 

 

Some notable brands we stock include a bold range from Frauno Couture. Not only are their scents pleasant on the nose, their presentation of their range is beautifully done with appealing colour schemes.

Due to the bolder features, Eau De Parfum sprays are priced a little higher than Eau De Toilettes. If used at the right time and with the right quantity they are the perfect addition to your outfit and will make a lasting impression.

- Anti Perspirant

Antiperspirants are highly affordable and are created to control sweating and general body odour that can soon creep up due to how busy the everyday routine can be. 

 

The accessible entry price makes anti perspirant an easy to buy and use product. Simply apply them under your armpits and enjoy your day sweat free. 

 

Some of the highstreet's leading brands such as Nivea and L’Oreal have produced antiperspirants for many years for millions around the world to enjoy. Many anti perspirants found on the market are not cruelty free/vegan friendly so we recommend shopping about if this is within your buying criteria!

- Roll on

Roll on is the most discrete fragrance available on the My Hair and Beauty webstore. Simply applied under the armpit, roll ons are an odourless fragrance that still leave you feeling fresh and fit to take on the day. 

 

Roll on deodorants whilst effective do not stop you from sweating unlike anti perspirants. Their main aim is to reduce the buildup of bacteria, leaving your pits odourless. So be sure to understand the difference before you buy! They can be ideal for people who don’t like aerosols, due to allergies or breathing concerns.

 

Roll ons do not give you an instantly dry finish, which may be a considerable downside when using them in your day-to-day life. Overuse of roll on deodorant can cause dryness and itchiness to the skin. So watch out if you are prone to have sensitive skin and consult a doctor or pharmacist if you require any assistance with your choices. 

- Body spray

Our final range of fragrances are body sprays, one of the most commonly used fragrances on a day to day basis. They are once again affordable and can be bought from stores we all know and visit. 

 

Body sprays are another fragrance that is great for when you are on the go with many different 

scents available depending on your mood. Top brands include Lynx and Sure Men and Women. They are easy to apply and can even be carried around in your bag or purse. 

 

We stock Schwarzkopf who have provided the Great British public with amazing, affordable body sprays. High end brands such as Chanel and Dior offer body spray equivalent to their famous scented Eau De Toilettes and Parfums, very fancy. 

Our body mist range is another great fragrance option brought to you by Millionaire Beverly Hills who curate some of the finest body mists. They’re highly affordable and have a pleasant aroma for any occasion. 

At My Hair and Beauty we are currently spoilt for choice when it comes to fragrances with many brands creating timeless scents that have become cultural icons within Britain (Lynx Africa gift sets for those who know).
