Day Perfume
The notes and accords contained in a perfume have their own scent characteristic. Notes, like that of Citrus are on the cooler, lighter side whereas other notes, like tobacco, are darker, more intense notes. A Perfume combines multiple such ingredients and, in the process, acquires a scent character of its own. This scent character is what eventually gets classified as Day Perfume or Night Perfume. All such classifications have evolved based on usage and there’s no official segmentation done by any fragrance governing bodies. As such day perfumes are lighter, cooler, fresher and less intense. In contrast to that Night perfumes are darker, deeper, warm, and intense. Daytime perfume is associated with feeling refreshed, energized, subtle yet classy. This has to do with the fact that the usage of daytime perfume leans towards wearing at work or the office. Let’s explore more about everyday perfumes.
Why choosing the Right Perfume matters for your day.
It’s important to understand the perspective of choosing the best perfume for daytime use. At Dopamine Perfumes & Fragrances we genuinely believe that usage of perfume must be driven by the occasion and environment of wearing it. Your day perfume should fit perfectly well in all possible daytime settings - be it work, business meetings or catch-up time with friends for coffee. Perfumers who develop scent profiles for daytime usage often keep in mind certain characteristics of day perfumes.

Day Perfume for Men
When it comes to Day Perfume for men, the following fragrance families are combined.
Fresh Notes combined with White Floral Notes.
Perfumes that combine refreshing, energetic scents of citrus family like lemon or orange with white floral notes like Jasmine, Neroli, Orange blossom. White Florals add intensity and a little bit sweetness to the citrusy, tarty, and tangy notes. This combination induces an energetic feeling and creates a refreshed frame of mind.
Aromatic Fougere
Fougere is a historical accord the combines the notes of Lavendar, Coumarin and Oakmoss to mimic the scent of fern. Imagine the scent of freshly cut green grass. Since then, it has been the best choice for everyday perfume for Men. This masculine fragrance can get men noticed due to its powerful yet pleasing and refreshing trail.

Floral Notes combined with Gourmand Scents
A classic day perfume for women combines floral notes like rose, violet leaf, jasmine with sweet and edible notes of berries and other fruits. The resultant scent profile is a gourmand scent which is extremely pleasing and attractive.
Powdery Notes combined with Floral Scents
A beautiful range of daytime perfume for women can be created by combining the extremely popular safe synthetic accord called aldehydes with soft floral scents like rose note and lavender note. This sophisticated scent profile is a bit strong compared to other daytime perfumes, but it leaves a very pleasing impact.
How to Choose the Perfect Perfume for your Daily wear.
Since day perfumes are often light and airy, finding a long-lasting day perfume can get a little challenging. Perfumes with Fresh notes are excellent refreshing notes but they evaporate from the skin very quickly. If the top note of your perfume has Fresh notes like Citrus, Aqua or Orange, then you should pay attention to the accompanying middle notes – they should complement the scent profile of fresh notes and at the same time last long. White Floral notes like Neroli, Jasmine and Orange blossom pair extremely well with Fresh Noted. Even woody notes pair very well as base notes with a Fresh Scent profile.
The weather, the season and your skin type play a very important role for choosing your best daytime perfume. For tropical weather like India, the faster evaporation of the fragrance oil from your skin, must be compensated with more oil. Therefore, always buy an Extrait De Parfum or Pure Parfum instead of the Eau De Toilette or Eau De Parfum. All perfumes at Dopamine Perfumes & Fragrances are Extraits, specially formulated considering the Indian Weather.
