Perfume

Find a Fragrance That Suits Your Preferences

Fragrance is personal, so a useful place to begin is with the types of scents you already enjoy. Fragrances are often described using families such as floral, fresh, fruity, woody, citrus, aromatic and amber. Product descriptions can help you compare the individual notes and overall fragrance style before making your selection.

You can also consider how and when you plan to wear the fragrance. Different products are available as parfum, eau de parfum, eau de toilette, cologne and lighter fragrance mists. The strength and character of each formulation can vary between brands and fragrance ranges, so check the individual product information rather than relying on the format alone.

Explore Fragrance Across the Farmers Range

Discover scents across women’s perfume and men’s aftershaves and cologne. For a lighter fragrance option, explore deodorants and body sprays. You can also browse the current fragrance bestsellers or use the Fragrance Finder to explore scents based on your preferences.

If you are shopping for someone else, explore fragrance gift sets. Sets may contain a fragrance alongside other products from the same range, although contents and availability vary by product.

Perfume FAQs

What is the difference between parfum, eau de parfum and eau de toilette?
These terms identify different fragrance formats. Parfum is generally more concentrated, followed by eau de parfum and then eau de toilette. However, exact concentrations, scent profiles and wear can vary between brands and individual formulations. Check the product description for details about a particular fragrance.

What is the difference between perfume and cologne?
Perfume and cologne are both fragrance products. Cologne often refers to a lighter fragrance concentration, but the term is also commonly used when describing fragrances marketed for men. The name alone does not determine who can wear a fragrance, so choose according to the scent and format you prefer.

How do I choose a perfume online?
Start by checking the fragrance family and the listed notes in the product description. You can compare these with scents you already enjoy, consider the fragrance format and select a bottle size that suits your needs. If you are unsure where to begin, try the Farmers Fragrance Finder.

What are top, middle and base notes in perfume?
These terms describe how different parts of a fragrance may be experienced over time. Top notes are generally noticed first, middle or heart notes follow, and base notes form the later stage of the scent. How a fragrance develops can vary depending on its formulation and the person wearing it.

How long does perfume last on the skin?
Wear time varies between fragrances and can be affected by the formulation, amount applied, skin and surrounding conditions. Because performance differs from one product and person to another, a specific wear time cannot be guaranteed.

How should perfume be stored?
Follow the storage directions provided with the product. In general, keeping the bottle securely closed and away from direct sunlight, heat and large temperature changes can help protect the fragrance.

Can perfume expire?
Fragrance can change over time, particularly after opening or when stored in unsuitable conditions. Check the packaging for any expiry or period-after-opening information and follow the manufacturer’s directions. Do not use the product if you have concerns about a noticeable change in its appearance, scent or condition.

How do I choose perfume as a gift?
If you know which fragrance or scent family the recipient already wears, that can provide a useful starting point. Otherwise, consider a fragrance gift set, a smaller-sized fragrance or a Farmers Gift Card so they can make their own selection.
