Perfume 101: The Perfect Guide For You To Know Your Perfect Scent

Wearing a perfume can sometimes be exasperating because you just can’t find the right scent that would express yourself. That is why we created this for you to choose whether you are the fruity type of person or if you want to stick with that vanilla scent. Below is the basics you need to know for you to choose your perfect scent.

Okay, what you need to know first is the types of perfume and we have Floral, Oriental, Chypre, Green, Fougere, Oceanic and Wood. Floral perfumes are those that have rose, gardenia, or any kind of flower that one incorporated in a perfume. You can try out Ralph Lauren’s Romance perfume if you are into such.

And then we have the Oriental, these are the perfumes that have the hint of cinnamon or vanilla such as that of Victoria’s Secret. Next is the Chypre or the earthy and mossy kinds of perfumes such as Gucci’s Gucci Rush 2 Perfume. We move on to the Greens which are like fresh cut grass or cool and refreshing scents. And we have the Fougere, often used for the fragrances of men. The oceanic are those that are inspired by the beach and the Wood that smells of sandalwood, pine, and cedar.

Now we move on to the tips on how to select the best perfume that would suit your personality and your style. First is to always keep in mind the scent that you enjoy. Be sure to be keen with your sense of smell once you like that fragrance you sniff even if you are not the one wearing it. Be aware of your surroundings and make a mental list of the smells you love so if you go shopping, you don’t have to go through so many kinds of perfumes since you already have a certain type of smell in mind.

Always keep in mind that your fragrance tell so much about you so your personality should match it. If you are that kind of person who loves the outdoors, you can try oceanic and oriental fragrances. If you are a really sweet person, try going floral. The idea is choosing that perfume that best represents yourself so people will remember you by that.

The last tip is you should ask other of what they think of your new scent and consider the people around you because they are the ones you can smell your choice of fragrance.

Five Surprising Secrets To Know For You To Choose The Right Perfume

You have to make someone miss you especially your smell thatis why a perfume is the most intense form of memory. And whatever smell youdecided to go with, it tells so much about you and your personality so we have come up with tips for you to determine the scent you want to be remembered for.

Scents are more than just being that certain scent as the smell can bring comfort to the ones you love and a lasting impression to people that you meet. So sharing to you how to choose the right perfume is my goal today.

First is you have to know the jargons used for perfume makers so you don’t get it all mixed up

Absolutes are those they put in tiny bottles and are very expensive but the scent is so strong with just one drop that it would last for a whole day.

Notes are the levels of what composes of a fragrance. The top note is the initial smell that you sniff, the middle note is the scent you smell when the first note disappears and the basic note is the fragrance. You have to smell all the notes before you buy the certain perfume for you to know it you really like it.

Eau de Cologne are those that are citrusy and refreshing while the Eau de Toilette are stronger than the previous type of perfume. And we have the Eau de Parfum and this is again much stronger than Eay de Toilette. And lastly, the most expensive are the Perfumes because it contains a very high percentage of perfume oil.

The next secret is knowing the Fragrance Families of perfumes. These are Floral/Sweet, Citrus/Fruity/Fresh, Oriental/Spicy, and Woody/Chypre. You have to decide what family appeals to you most so you could avoid the perfumes that you did not narrow down to your choices. Floral/Sweet are those that contain lavender, roses, and many more. For the Citrus family, these are the perfumes that contain apple, lemon, lime, grapefruit and the like. And for the Oriental/Spicy, these are the perfumes containing vanilla and other scents that are musky. Lastly, the Woody/Chypre are the scents that are mossy and earthy smelling.

Secret Number Three is spraying the perfume on a card first and after five to ten minutes, if you smell it again and you still love it, that’s definitely the time you can spray it on your skin and carry the scent all throughout the day.

Secret Number Four is not to try many colognes and perfumes at the same time. Try one scent for a month then try another next. Through this, you’ll be able to decide that best fits you and you could get the opinion of people around you.

Lastly, be sure to apply your perfume to your pulse points such as the center of the neck, behind the eras, inner wrists, and behind the knee. If you spray your perfume in one or two of these areas, you won’t have to reapply throughout the entirety of the day.
