Community Talks

We stand for a few things at Parfumado. Discovery and curiosity are two, and community is another. With that in mind, welcome to our first Members Monthly blog. For our first edition, we have enrolled the help of three female subscribers, two are from the UK, and one is from The Netherlands. Introducing; Nicole, Juca and Tra-My.

Meet the Members

"My name is Nicole, and I live in Scotland. I have been using Parfumado for over a year now." Nicole’s favourite fragrance note is Sweet.

"I'm Juca, I'm currently travelling, but I live in the UK. I've been a member for five months now." Juca’s favourite fragrance notes are Sweet and Aqua.

"Hi, I'm Tra-My, I live and work in Amsterdam, and I've been a member since 2020." Tra-My’s favourite fragrance note is Fresh.

We wanted to find out what favourites (if any) they shared?

Nicole and Tra-My are Good Girls with a preference for Carolina Herrera's smash hit. Meanwhile, Juca is an explorative butterfly trying something different every month! She has no particular favourites.

Since our three ladies are perfume aficionados, like all of you out there, we wanted to ask what perfume struggles they have found. The answer: deciding what to wear and when.

Wearing the right perfume is a delicate balancing act, do you side with your personal preferences or your environment?

"I work with children, so I need to wear perfume that's subtle. When I'm not at work, I like to wear perfume that stands out and makes me feel good." - Nicole

"I'm normally surrounded by loads of people, especially when I'm travelling and working. However, I just do my thing. Luckily for me, and the people around me, I like soft perfumes. So far, no one has complained." - Juca

"There are certain places I feel bad for wearing strong perfume; the metro, lifts and the office, aka, small spaces. But other than that, I wear what I want." - Tra-My

I wonder how many of you have places where you avoid spraying? Or do you do your thing like Juca? Perhaps you have two perfume personalities like Nicole?

We also wanted to know what our members liked most about Parfumado, here is what they had to say.

"The unknown brands, or the niche brands. I think all of my favourite perfumes apart from Good Girl have come from brands I hadn't heard of before joining. Fugazzi, CRA-YON, and State of Mind are a few that come to mind." - Tra-My

"I love being able to try something new every month." - Nicole

"For me, it has to be the travel sizes and the travel cases. It makes such a difference, especially when you are flying. I've lost so many perfumes and beauty products to airport security." - Juca

We finished our conversations by asking our three lovely ladies what perfume means to them.

"Perfume is freedom; it's like the first breath you take in a new country." - Juca

"Perfume for me is like putting on your make up. It increases my sense of appeal and confidence." - Nicole

"It's something personal, like picking your clothes or decorating your apartment. Your scent says a lot about you as a person." Tra-My
