FAQ About The Cultural Evolution of Perfume in Fashion and Art

One common misconception is that perfume can be preserved indefinitely; in reality, environmental factors such as light and temperature can alter its composition over time, affecting scent quality. Another myth is that more expensive perfumes necessarily last longer; longevity is influenced by factors like concentration (e.g., eau de toilette vs. parfum) and individual skin chemistry, not just price. Additionally, some believe that a strong scent indicates quality, though high-quality perfumes often distinguish themselves by their subtlety and complexity.
