Use notes as a starting point
Look for a broad direction that interests you, then sample. Two fragrances listing the same notes can feel very different. The balance and the rest of the composition are important.
Ask more precise questions
If you like vanilla, ask whether you prefer a sweeter or drier impression. If you like woods, consider whether creamy or smoky is a better description. If you like musk, give a perfume example rather than assuming the word describes only one smell.
Keep a scent vocabulary
Write down your own impressions in ordinary language. “Fresh laundry”, “pencil shavings” or “soft and powdery” can be more useful in a consultation than trying to use technical terminology you do not normally use.
At ZUBYR PARFUMS, bring both the notes you are curious about and the impressions you want to create. The aim is a fragrance you enjoy wearing, not simply a checklist of ingredients.
