How to choose a signature scent
Do you have a characteristic smell? A perfume that sums up the best, your style, your personality? A scent that will always remind people of you?
The characteristic scent is a great thing ... but where to start? Here's how to choose a typical scent.
Find your type of perfume
First: let's start with the basics. Perfumes are composed of combinations of different scents. They can contain, for example, floral, oriental, woody or fresh tones.
Most perfumes are dominated by one of these categories. If you try several different perfumes, you may notice that you are attracted to a certain type. Many people love the ugly scents of oriental scents, while others like delicate flowers, fresh citrus tones or fragrant woody scents.
If you know what kind of perfume you want, it will be much easier to narrow your search. If you are not sure where to start, go to Osme Parfumerie and we will help you along the way.
Where will you wear it? Different perfumes wear different. There is a huge variety - from a strong odor that lasts for several days to a soft splash that quickly disappears.
This is an important thing to consider in your typical scent. Some people like strong perfumes; the others do not. If you work in an office or shop, you can avoid the bulky odors that bother other people. (It's a sad fact that some people have a headache because of perfume instead of enjoying it.) If you work alone, you can feel what you want!
You also need to think about how to combine the perfume with other products. Do you use a fragrant moisturizer? conditioner? Are they good with your chosen perfume?
Add a little twist
Most people don't want to wear something that smells like pure flowers or pure musk. But what perfumes do is a unique combination of ingredients. So if you are looking for a strong scent, you want to find a scent with a bit of a twist, which will make it unmistakably unique. Even if you eventually opt for a classic scent, it is worth trying some unusual scents. Who knows? You may realize that a hint of smoke, salt or soil is all you need.
After all, the best scent is what makes you the best. It's like falling in love: when you find the right one, you just know it.
