Fragrances For Women

Your distinct scent – feminine fragrances available online from Heinemann

Floral freshness, herbal aromas or intense warm nuances – every women’s perfume is a unique composition of complex notes put together masterfully, always keeping in mind the right balance of top, middle and base notes. However, it is not just the individual notes that make a perfume so distinctive: a fragrance only really develops its specific character once on the wearer’s skin. Buy your new favorite scent and discover new, attractive women’s fragrances from the Heinemann Shop: you will find a range of perfumes and fragrances by top international brands like Jil Sander and Dior , Bvlgari, Cacharel, Calvin Klein and many more.

Perfume, eau de parfum and eau de toilette – what are the differences?

The variety of exquisite perfumes and fragrances available is huge. Renowned perfume manufacturers offer more than just different fragrance compositions like fresh, floral or heavy. There are many perfumes that are available as women’s fragrances and as matching men’s fragrances, as well as in various fragrance intensities. The exact description of a fragrance is based on the concentration of aromatic substances it contains: 

• Perfumes such as those by Hermès contain 20–30% active aromatic substances, even up to 40% in a parfum intensif [intense perfume]. They are dabbed on to the neck or on the wrists in minimal quantities.
• Eau de parfum, like that offered by Yves Saint Laurent or Chloé  contains 10–20% aromatic substances. Due to its intensity, eau de parfum is suitable mainly for the evening and for special occasions.
• Eau de toilette, for example by Gucci, Versace or Biotherm, contains 5–15% aromatic substances. It is applied on the skin using a spray bottle and is perfect as a daily-wear fragrance.
• Eau de cologne, for example by Atelier Cologne contains 3–8% aromatic substances. The term not only applies to the famous German Kölnisch Wasser [cologne water] but also to all light colognes with the right scent concentration. 
• Eau fraîche, by Dior , is also referred to as body splash or splash cologne. With 1–3% aromatic substances, a light body spray is ideal for refreshing the skin now and then.

Do you have your favorite fragrance at home as an eau de toilette? Then buy the same fragrance from Heinemann as a light eau fraîche, an intense perfume or even as a scented shower gel, and wear your personal fragrance on any occasion.

Women’s perfumes that flatter your personality – available online from Heinemann

Perfumes are not an insignificant purchase: a fragrance should always reflect the personality and taste of its wearer. The complex range of aromatic substances can be classified into a few basic notes:

• Fresh fragrances commonly have citrus notes, light herbal notes or oceanic aromas. They are perfect for athletic, active women who do not prefer very intense fragrances.
• Powdery fragrances are slightly sweet, very elegant and yet discreet. They are for women who love making grand entrance without being too dominant.
• Floral fragrances are very popular and are considered feminine and youthful. Floral notes are often combined with fruity nuances to create a more complex fragrance.
• Oriental fragrances are intense and often have strong spiced notes. These sensuous fragrances are an effective evening perfume.
