The way you are perceived by others is important especially if you are in other people’s company on a daily basis. Most people wear perfume because they care about the impression they leave on others. Nobody wants to be near someone that does not smell clean and fresh, but when you have a pleasing aroma those around you appreciate it on a conscious and unconscious level. Unfortunately many people follow fashion trends and purchase the very latest designer fragrance, regardless of whether it happens to suit them or not.
The Different Fragrance Notes and You
How a particular fragrance will smell on you has many determining factors. Your diet, body temperature, skin chemistry and natural aroma will determine how a perfume will smell when you wear it. Therefore never buy anything just because it happens to suit someone else or you like it on them, because a fragrance that smells great on your friend may not on you. She may like wearing Juicy Couture Perfumes and you may love the fragrance, but they may not smell right for your own signature perfumes.
There are two ways to determine whether a fragrance will suit you or not. Firstly, spray or dab it on. You can find out if a perfume smells nice on you by trying it, and this is the only way to determine what suits you if you have only just begun to experiment with fragrances. Once you have been wearing perfume for a number of years you will start to develop an idea of which fragrance notes smell good on you, and which do not. Secondly, your perfume choice will begin to inspire people to comment if their senses are urged.
Fragrance notes are what make each perfume smell unique. Every fragrance is composed of top, middle and base notes. Top notes generally have a well-defined aroma and they are what you smell when you initially apply a perfume to your skin. Middle notes have a more delicate smell and you will start to perceive them after the top notes begin to evaporate. Base notes have lush, resonant aroma and they last longer. The middle and base notes of a perfume form its base.
You Have Found Your Signature Perfume
Finding your signature perfume is analogous with choosing the right romantic partner in that it often takes time and experience and it isn’t something that can be rushed. If you want to find your perfume then you must forget about the latest trends and fashions. Instead you can try trial size bottles or various discount perfumes until you find the one that suits you and you like. Once you have found the one for you, you’ll know it because your smell will be so enticing that people will ask you what you are wearing. Finding your signature perfume takes time and effort, but you will be happy when you do as it will make you feel attractive everytime you wear it.
