Since time immemorial, perfume is the object of both men and women`s fascination. We love to smell good and perfume with its captivating smell help us enticing others especially the opposite sex. Perfume is meant to enhance our overall personality. After a research, scientists have concluded that no two human beings smell alike. Similarly the taste of perfume also differs from person to person. While some prefer a stronger smell, others prefer milder perfume. Apart from being a luxurious item, perfume has become a necessity among today`s men and women. With the growing demand, perfume manufacturers have become more innovative and as a result, there are so many brands of perfumes available in different fragrances. What`s more, some perfume manufacturers even claim to customize perfume as per their client`s body aroma!
Perfume can be available in different sizes and price range. While some are very costly, there is also discount perfume, cheap perfume available to meet the requirements of the consumers. The smell and quality of ingredients used in a perfume usually determines its price. Of course leading brands do have their own influence while deciding the cost of their perfume product.
With perfumes that are available in a wide range and varieties, choosing a perfect perfume is a difficult task. if your perfume selection is correct, it will surely make you smell fresh and even people will be attracted to you, but on the other hand if your selection goes wrong, it can makes your admirers flee away too! Hence, it`s very important to choose a perfume whose fragrance complements your skin type and natural aroma of your body.
The scent of your perfume should be subtle enough that others would love to stay around you and on the other hand shouldn`t be too strong to make others cringe with constant sneezes! While choosing a suitable perfume, it`s a good idea to try spraying sample perfumes directly onto your skin to know if its suits your skin or not. Its suggested not to try more than three fragrances at one time coz your nose will lose its ability to tell the difference.
After you are satisfied that the perfume`s fragrance, don`t hurry up to buy it. Try on a sample of that particular perfume and leave it on for a day. You will be able to know if the perfume suits your body, or any other possible allergies or headache, and even if the scent is losing or not from this simple exercise.
Now some dos and don`ts about perfume use.
Don`t keep an already opened perfume for long. Once opened it should be used else the fragrance will fade. Also direct exposure to sunlight or extreme temp can change the scent of your perfume, hence should always be kept in a cool, dry place away from direct light.
Too much overdoing of perfume application won`t make you smell any better! Hence stop spraying extra perfume over your garments, neck, and even hair. Also it`s not a good idea to put fragrance directly on furs or fabrics as it might stain. You want to please yourself and those who are closest to you with your fragrance. Anything beyond that is considered as overdoing.
The perfect time to apply perfume is right after a shower as the pores of our body is open then and it soaks up the scent of the perfume. Those who have dry skin should apply more perfume.
It`s a good idea to change perfume according to the season. Stronger perfumes are required for winter as the perfume scent gets reduced with the dip in temperature. You can dab your perfume in usual places such as on the wrist, the inside of the elbow, neck or even the back of the knees. But restrain from applying it behind the ears as it might blend with the skin secretions and create a bad smell.
