Fragrances have amazing power - some attract, others excite, others soothe. Some smells can emphasize your inner world, while others can affect the subconscious of the interlocutor. How to choose your own scent correctly? There are a few rules to follow when choosing a perfume.
Instructions
Step 1
In no case, do not choose a perfume on the advice of a friend, on fashion, or by believing in advertisements. Trust only yourself, your sense of smell and sensations. It is best to choose a perfume in a specialized store with the participation of consultants.
Step 2
Go shopping for perfume only in a good mood, preferably in the morning. Indeed, it is in the morning hours that the sense of smell is most acute and sensitive. Also, before going to the store, it is better not to use perfume at all, as it will interfere with your choice. This applies not only to perfumes or eau de toilette, but also to deodorants with a strong smell and even a perfumed body cream.
Step 3
When tasting scents, it is best to limit yourself to three bottles at a time, as the excess of different scents can make you feel sick and headaches. Some in such cases use the advice of experts: it is necessary to take a sachet of coffee beans to a perfume store, which adsorb foreign odors. Having felt the smell of coffee, you can continue tasting various aromas without damage to your health.
Step 4
Another important rule is to spray perfume on the blotter first. Blotters are special strips of cardboard that are available in almost any perfume shop. Spray the perfume very gently, in small quantities, otherwise, you will not be able to catch the true scent of the perfume.
Step 5
It is also important to properly inhale the scent. This should be done several times with breaks. After the first tasting, you can sprinkle some perfume on your wrist. But remember that there should not be watches or bracelets in this place - they can change the smell of perfume.
Step 6
It is necessary to distinguish between the types of perfume when choosing it. Perfumes are very durable, they retain their aroma for a long time, as they have a high concentration of perfume extract. Perfume prices can be quite high. Eau de parfum is the most popular and affordable type of product today. The lower concentration of the extract makes its aroma lighter. Eau de toilette is also in high demand. But her fragrance lasts no more than 5 hours.
