STEP 2. Specify the projection of perfumes
The projection can be moderate (perfume is noticeable only when someone comes closer to us) or strong (perfume that creates so-called „tail” and will be noticeable from a distance). Choose it depending on your preferences or occasion, for instance delicate fragrances suit better for work and stronger ones for a night out. >> find out more
