3 Tips on Choosing the Right Perfume for You
1. Determine your budget.
Perfume prices vary greatly, from very inexpensive colognes to luxury designer brands. Determining your budget or the money you are willing to spend in advance will help you narrow down your options and save you a lot of time.
2. Know what particular scent you want and go for it.
Decide what type of fragrance you want based on the use you would give the perfume. For example, is it for special occasions? Is it for washing and daily use? If you plan to please someone, be sure to research the particular fragrances they like. If you want it to be an everyday scent that you can wear at work or school, you may want to purchase a lighter, fresher scent.
It is also important to consider other factors such as weather or season. For example, if you live in a very humid environment, floral fragrances with a woody or musky base often complement muggy weather. If you are usually surrounded by a lot of people nearby, do not choose a very strong perfume because not everyone likes perfume. Fragrances of citrus, sea breeze, and other herbs and flowers are often fresh and rejuvenating, perfect for someone who is always on the go. If you're going on a date and want to enhance the romance, choose a scent that's a little stronger but not overpowering. Oriental spices generally project confidence and sophistication. Meanwhile, aromatic blends are perfect for men who like to smell like a real man brimming with machismo and confidence.
3. Examine carefully before purchasing.
When you've finally narrowed down your options and are ready to head to a perfume store, don't forget to carefully examine each perfume you like before you go ahead and buy it. Keep in mind that your sense of smell can only handle so much and trying 20 perfumes consecutively will prove useless. Before you start spraying a perfume on your wrist, spray it on a card or paper first and decide if you like it. If not, move on to the next one. Once you find a scent that you think is perfect, start testing it on your body. Apply a small amount to the wrist or the back of the arm. Sometimes the saleswoman offers to apply some to her own skin and makes you smell it. This is a no-no because each of us reacts to perfumes differently. Make sure the perfume is perfect for you by applying it to your own skin. Wait a few minutes because the fragrances start to grow on you and smell different after a while.
