With the thousands of fragrances in the market, it can sometimes be
tricky to choose the one that is perfect for your taste, personality,
the occasion, and other factors. Check out the following basic tips that
you may find useful when choosing and even wearing the perfect perfume
for you.
1. Determine your budget.
Perfumes are priced in a very big range, from very inexpensive colognes
to luxurious designer brands. Determining your budget or the money you
are prepared to spend beforehand will help narrow down the choices and
will save you a lot of time.
2. Know what particular smell you want and go for it.
Decide on what type of fragrance you want based on what use the perfume
would be to you. For instance, is it for special occasions? Is it to
please or seduce a lover? Is it for everyday wash and wear? If you plan
to please someone, make sure to research on the particular fragrances he
or she likes. If you want it to be an everyday whiff you can wear to
work or school, you may want to buy a lighter and fresher scent. If it’s
for big parties and formal events, choose a perfume that makes a
stronger impact by blending well with your body chemistry.
Other factors like the weather or season are also important to consider.
For instance, if you live in a very humid setting, floral fragrances
with a woody or musky base often complement the sultry weather. If
you’re often surrounded by a lot of people in near proximity, don’t
choose a very strong perfume because not everyone likes perfume. Citrus,
sea breeze and other herb and floral fragrances are often fresh and
rejuvenating, perfect for someone always on the go. If you will be out
on a date and want to heighten the romance, choose a scent that is a bit
stronger but not overpowering. Usually oriental spices project
confidence and sophistication. Meanwhile, aromatic blends are perfect
for men who like to smell like a true man exuding with machismo and
security.
3. Examine carefully before buying.
When you’ve finally narrowed down your choices and you’re ready to go to
a perfume shop, don’t forget to carefully examine each perfume you
fancy before getting ahead of yourself and purchasing. Take note that
your nose can only handle so much and testing 20 perfumes consecutively
will prove to be futile. Before you start spraying a perfume on your
wrist, spray it first on a card or paper and decide if you like it. If
not, move on to the next. Once you find a scent you think is perfect,
start testing it on your body. Apply a small amount on your wrist or at
the back of your arm. Sometimes the saleslady will offer to apply some
in her own skin and have you smell it. This is a no-no because each of
us reacts to perfumes in different ways. Make sure the perfume is
perfect for you by putting it on your own skin. Wait for a few minutes
because fragrances start to grow on you and smell different after a
while.
