Perfume Personality
By: Many people wear perfume to attract be trendy make a statement or simply smell good. However many people as well dont know what kind of perfume really suits them and often make the less than ideal purchase. To make sure you get the right perfume that will react in the best possible way to your body chemistry you have to determine your perfume personality. Here are some guide questions that will aid you in doing that. 1. Where are you going to use the perfume Consider the environment and the whole setting of where you are going to use the perfume. For instance one of the major factors to think of is the weather and climate. Do you live in very humid or hot setting Do you live in cold temperature Fragrances with floral tones and a musky base often complement humid weather as well as green and ocean based fragrances. For cooler climates deep oriental scents often work great. Aside from the temperature you have to consider the actual environment you plan to use the perfume. Is it for office wear If thats the case you might want to choose a milder musk because not everyone likes a certain fragrance and some may even be allergic to it. If you plan to use your perfume for daytime activities light floral and citrusbased fragrances often smell great. Meanwhile for after work celebrations or parties spicy or amberbased fragrances are recommended. 2. What is your purpose in using the perfume Be honest in why you want to buy a perfume. Is it simply to complement your natural everyday smell Is it to avoid smelling so sweaty while working out or exercising Or is it to attract people and be more desirable If you plan to use your perfume a lot while working out get a perfume thats neither too strong nor too mild. Too strong perfume can combine heavily with sweat and evoke an unpleasant smell while too mild perfume may fail at its purpose. Meanwhile if you want to wear perfume to attract the opposite sex and be more confident wear a perfume that best allows you to express what you are and what you feel. There are 6 general perfume categories divided into both type of smell and a persons mood. Floral scents are light and feminine and great to use if you want to feel all feminine and delicate. Fruity scents are perfect if you always want to smell fresh and good enough to eat. Greenbased scents are rejuvenating and makes you feel and smell energetic and always on the go. Oceanic scents are light reminders of the waters and are rejuvenating as well. Woody scents are based on leaves and barks are often exotic and seductive. Lastly oriental scents are sexy and strong and are great fragrances if you want to make a lasting impression. 3. What is your budget When youve determined every bit of your character and purpose in buying a perfume you just have to consider one last thing: your budget. Its not a good idea to splurge in a perfume you can barely afford because that also says a lot about you. On the other hand if you feel like splurging because you just want to use it in special occasions then do so. The most important thing is you feel good and not guilty of your purchase all things considered. This article is written by Sebastian Guthery.
