How These Fragrance Reviews Are Written
Every fragrance review on Scent Chronicles is based on personal wear and careful observation. Each perfume is tested in different situations and climates, then described in clear, honest language that focuses on how it truly works on skin in real life.
When a perfume is reviewed, it is evaluated through several key aspects:
- Opening and dry-down – how the scent evolves from the first spray to its final stage.
- Longevity and projection – how long it lasts and how far it radiates.
- Season and climate – when and where it performs its best.
- Mood and personality – what style, vibe, or emotion the fragrance expresses.
- Versatility and occasions – how well it works for work, dates, casual wear, or special events.
Reviews follow clear standards of transparency, testing integrity, and disclosure, so you always know how opinions are formed and what influences a review.
