Perfumes for women and men

Perfumes are the finishing touch of your daily routine and the scent people remember you by. Here you will find women’s, men’s and unisex fragrances from well-known fashion and perfume houses, as eau de parfum (EDP) and eau de toilette (EDT), often also as gift sets.

How to choose a perfume

First decide whether you want a scent for everyday wear or for special occasions. Then pick the scent family that suits your taste and the concentration that gives the staying power you want. If you are shopping for yourself, browse our women’s perfume selection; men have a dedicated men’s perfume category.

• Scent family: fresh and citrus scents suit everyday wear and summer, florals suit refined occasions, woody and spicy notes suit autumn and evenings, sweet and vanilla scents suit winter.
• Concentration: eau de parfum contains more fragrance oils and usually lasts longer, while eau de toilette is lighter and fresher.
• Size: a smaller bottle is good for trying a new scent, a larger one for a favourite you already know.
• Sets: a perfume packed with a shower gel or body cream makes an easy gift.

Popular brands

The range includes Christian Dior, Giorgio Armani and Hugo Boss, as well as Yves Saint Laurent, Versace, Dolce & Gabbana, Hermès, Lancôme and many others.

What is the difference between EDT and EDP?

Eau de parfum (EDP) contains more fragrance oil than eau de toilette (EDT), so it is more intense and usually stays on the skin longer. Eau de toilette works well for daytime and warmer weather.

How can I make a perfume last longer?

Spray it on moisturised skin at the wrists, neck and inner elbows. Keep the bottle in a cool, dark place so it holds its scent best.

What should I choose as a gift?

If you know the recipient’s favourite scent family, pick a new fragrance from the same direction. A gift set with a shower gel or body cream adds extra value.
