How to Choose the Right Perfume Based on Personality

Choosing a perfume isn’t just about how it smells it’s about how it feels on you. Here’s a simple way to pick your scent based on who you are and how you live:


  • The Minimalist You like things clean, simple, and effortless. No extra layers, no loud impressions. Try AW 002 or AW 003 both offer fresh, aquatic profiles that feel clean, modern, and light enough for everyday wear.

  • The Charmer You’re confident, outgoing, and not afraid to leave an impression. You like a little mystery and warmth in everything you do.AW 001 and AW 005 bring sweetness, spice, and depth ideal for romantic evenings and special occasions.

  • The All-Rounder You want one bottle that does it all — something fresh enough for the office but bold enough for dinner. Go for AW 004. It’s balanced, versatile, and gives you the best of both worlds without overthinking.


Scent is personal. But when it matches your style, it becomes unforgettable.


How to Make Your Perfume Last Longer

You don’t need an expensive bottle to get lasting fragrance. With the right method, your AlWaahid perfume can stay with you all day.


  • Use moisturizer first — scent holds better on hydrated skin.

  • Spray on pulse points — wrists, neck, and chest help warm the scent naturally.

  • Add a few sprays to your clothes — fabric holds fragrance longer than skin.

  • Try layering — combine two scents for more depth. For example, AW 001 and AW 005 create a richer tone for evening wear.


With this simple routine, your perfume will stay fresh and noticeable from morning to night.
