Choosing the right Perfume For You

Perfumes and your Body Chemistry

Are you searching for a perfume that suits you? Wondering how fragrance will smell on you. Does the smell in the bottle will as good as you apply it? The fact is that the fragrance will smell differently on you than it smells in the bottle. The reason for this is each perfume reacts differently with the body chemistry of every person.

Perfumes Three Notes 

Before picking up any perfume you need to do some trial with a variety of fragrances to determine how they will react to your body chemistry. Also, keep in mind that perfumes are classified as having three notes; top notes, mid notes and base notes. Top notes dissipate quickly revealing the
mid notes of the fragrance, which take a little longer than top notes. After the mid notes dissipate it will give way to the base notes which last much longer. What really counts is the long-term impression that a fragrance gives not your initial impression. Skin conditions can even affect how long a fragrance will last. Fragrance last longer on oily, moisturized skin while it evaporates faster when applied on dry skin.

How to Test Perfumes?

Now, what will you do before deciding which fragrance work the best with your body chemistry? Apply the fragrance to your pulse points. The reason why we need to test the fragrance in our pulse points, because these are the places on your body where the blood vessels are closest to our skin's surface and therefore give off more warmth. The inside of your wrists and back of your ears is examples of pulse points. Don't test too many scents; just limit yourself testing two or three scent at once.

After applying the scents, you may take a walk in the mall or in the park for a while. This will give you time to observe the scents that you apply. Then if you notice which fragrance withstands longer and you enjoy the smell of it, then it’s time for you to decide if you want to add that to your perfume collection.
