Finding a Fragrance That Suits Your Personality

Just Because You Find a Perfume Pleasing Doesn't Mean It's Right For You

Usually when people wear a fragrance, they're looking to express a general mood. We must take into consideration that moods are temporary, and perhaps expressing a mood through a fragrance will send a mixed message about your personality. First impressions are everything in this world, and a fragrance can open your life to opportunities that you've never dreamed of! When someone that smells attractive walks by, you can't help but turn your head and notice that person. The fragrance has all of sudden made you curious about who that person is, and what they're wearing. A fragrance should reflective of your personality, not a mood that you want to portray because you want to demonstrate that you're consistent. When choosing your fragrance the factors that matter the most are originality, and innovation.

Choosing a fragrance that mixes with your body chemistry is your first step. It's important to realize that just because a cologne or perfume smells good on your best friend does not mean it will smell great on you! Most fragrances smell great; the rule is sample until you find something that compliments you. I would recommend sampling no more than 4 fragrances in one day. Sampling means that you need to spray the fragrance on the back of your wrist preferably.

Understanding your signature fragrances will require a little bit of research. Everyone should have at least one fragrance appropriate for the work day, a casual day, and active day, and something for the evening. There are different fragrance categories such as floral, spicy, citrus, and aromatic. It's important to choose the stronger scents for the evening it would be considered in polite to wear anything that is too strong during the day.
