Choose the Right Perfume For You
Choosing a perfume is a very personal decision. You should not decide on a fragrance solely based on what is popular right now or because your favorite star is wearing or endorsing it. Your perfume should match not only your personality but your body chemistry.
The right perfume can attract attention in all of the right ways. Men will begin to notice you and women will ask what your fragrance is. Do not worry. Fragrances will never smell exactly the same on any two people. Each of us has a unique body chemistry and the oils in your perfume will mingle with your physiology differently than it will with someone else’s.
You will know that you are wearing the wrong perfume, also by the reaction that you get. If you pay attention you can see the almost physical reaction from those around you if they catch a whiff of an aroma that is not suited to you.
So how do you pick a scent that is right for you? The best way is to go to a boutique that specializes in creating custom perfumes. They can create a fragrance that is suited perfectly to your body chemistry and to your personal preferences. And the best part is that they will use real oils not the synthetic stuff that you get in most commercials perfumes.
You want real perfume not au de toilette. Get your scent in a bottle that you can dab a drop or two from. Never buy the spray bottles if you can help it. They always apply far more than you need and tend to waste your perfume needlessly.
When comparing perfumes, always taking a sniff of the coffee beans at hand. They are meant to cleanse the palette before moving on to the next scent. There should be a little bowl of coffee beans on the perfume counter. By sniffing these beans, you clear your sense of smell so that you can truly take in the next scent.
When applying your fragrance, use just a drop on each wrist, a drop behind each knee and a drop between your cleavage. Wait at least twenty minutes before leaving the house. You want the scent to settle properly. There is nothing worse that being besieged by the odor coming from someone who has over scented. We have all had that experience. It is like an assault on the nose.
Your perfume should be light, subtle. It should be a wisp on the air. People should have the impression that you smell lovely and the actual scent should tease their memories, long after you are gone.
