How to choose and use perfume
Fragrances are able to change thinking, to generate desire, likes and dislikes. It is even possible to mix natural essential oils into cocktails that can help to keep relations during crisis.
Perfume consists of unique, elegant and beautiful fragrances. Buying a perfume every woman is trying to find a fragrance suitable and close to her, that can accentuate her individuality. So how a perfume should be chosen?
Any perfume includes three different fragrances or notes. Top notes are the most volatiles; we feel them opening the bottle of perfume, but they evaporate first as well. A middle note is the heart of a perfume, pleasant aroma which it is felt throughout several hours. A background note consists of heavy fragrances printed in memory for some days.
The fragrance choice depends on a human nature and a season of the year. We want something lightsome and airy in summer, that’s why strong and heavy perfumes are not recommended. When the autumn comes and it’s getting colder, we would desire warm fragrances, like elegant trail of vanilla, wood and musk, coffee and bergamot. Heavy oriental fragrances with warm sensual base note will make us warm during cold and snowy winter. Spring is the time of blossoming and changes. Don’t be afraid to experiment; try something extraordinary, like flower, spicy and oriental fragrances.
Going to perfumery
Go to perfumery in the morning when you can smell fragrances better. Drop some perfume on your clean skin; do not spray on paper, because the aroma will be different. Wait at least half an hour because the scent will change. Don’t try more than 3-4 perfumes at once, because the olfaction loses sensitivity, and you will not be able to distinguish a difference between aromas.
Women are not recommended to choose perfumes on the first day of menstruation, because skin acidity level is higher so it will react to perfume differently.
Don’t listen to anybody. Perfume is very personal thing that can influence impression we make, as well as our self-confidence. Perfume can cheer up or depress depending on your own skin odor reaction.
Where to put
Usually we have got used to put perfume behind auricles. But there are other so-called “warm points”: temples, bends of elbows, wrists, thorax center, and certainly, a neck.
Estee Lauder has recommended spraying perfume before you and walking into the cloud.
Coco Chanel advised to drop perfumes where you would like to be kissed to.
Clean hair soak fragrances very well, so you can drop your favorite perfume on a hairbrush and comb your hair.
Do not spray perfume on clothes because fabrics can transform fragrances into something different.
If you have dropped too much perfume on, rub the body with a wet towel off, carefully comb hair with damp brush and dry with a hairdryer.
You can use perfume several times a day, but try not to go overboard; the fragrance should complete your individuality, instead of overshadowing it.
What else to know
The pure perfume essence (French – “parfume”) has very strong scent, so it is advised to use it for state occasions like banquets, theater performances etc.
“Eau de parfum” is strong enough to feel fragrance during whole day, but it will be light and gentle aroma.
“Eau de toilette” has only 5-7% of perfume essence, so it can be used several times a day to freshen and odorize the skin. It is very suitable for young and business ladies for everyday use.
