How to choose a good perfume

The finishing touch to your outfit is your favorite scent. How do you choose the right perfume?

Each of us perceives smells differently.
When you go to choose and buy perfumes for yourself, first of all, rely on your taste. Perfumes sound differently on us, because we are all different - depending on our age, temperament, skin color, hair, season and even the mood with which we came to buy the fragrance. The spirits seem to feel us - what we are, what our state of health or mood is. If this or that is not in the best condition, then it is better to postpone the purchase for the next time.

Next, think - you want to choose a perfume so that you call it the only one, your favorite or another new fragrance. Then, in the first case, be guided by what are your favorite smells - sweet fruit cake or the smell of grass after rain, or the smell of daffodils, peonies, roses, or maybe the smell of incense or tangerine? In the second case, decide from which family you would like to buy another new fragrance. Perhaps floral or woody, oriental or chypre. Otherwise, when you have already come to buy, follow the rules that will definitely help you.

• Perfume is best chosen in the afternoon. The sense of smell during this period of the day is somewhat better.

• Smell perfume in a volatile state, not in a concentrated one.

• When choosing a perfume, do not smell a bottle of scent, but yourself in a cloud of scent. It is necessary to wait a little - the alcohol should disappear, and the smell changes when interacting with the skin. So take your time.

• Create four conditions for yourself when buying perfume: the atmosphere is calm, there are no smells around in the atmosphere and you are not on, the psyche is relaxed, there is enough time.

• When you put the fragrance on the inside of your wrist and you liked it from the first minutes, wait at least an hour, the fragrance should fully unfold. And if you enjoy it, then it is yours. It happens the other way around - at the first moment you say - Nothing special. - Do not hurry. Wait a while before making your final decision.

• If you do try different perfumes, remember which area of ​​your skin, what scent you applied.

• Never do more than two or three tests on the skin in one go.

• You can put scent on a strip of test paper, wave it, smell it. And taste the smell after 30 minutes, after an hour, after a few hours. Do not put more than one leaf in your purse, otherwise you will get a bouquet that you cannot figure out “who is who”.

• If an hour or two passes, and it seems to you that the perfume has disappeared, this is not always the case. Our nose can get tired quickly.

• Spirits that make you feel uncomfortable create a negative environment for you. You don't just lose confidence with them, your own aura is destroyed.

And finally, if you liked the perfume, what sensations might tell you about it? “When I smell talented perfumes, I get goosebumps ... it seems to me that I experience the feelings that the perfumer who created it wanted to convey to me, and my heart starts to beat often” - this is how the talented perfumer Sophie Labbe says about the fragrances I like.

If you choose a perfume as a gift and do not know your preferences, you can use the principles selection of perfume by bottle.
