How to choose the right perfume for yourself: tips and recommendations

Perception of odors is individual. Someone likes fresh scents, and someone can not leave the house without splashing himself with a sweet floral aroma of perfume. They can be a means of seduction, pleasure and self-expression. As a rule, choosing perfume, a person is guided by intuition. But in order to choose a fragrance that will become a business card from hundreds of beautiful bottles, you need to follow these tips.

When to buy perfume?

Specialists advise to go for perfume in the morning. It is at this time the most sensitive olfactory receptors, but in the evening they are dulled, so a trip to the store at this time of day is better to postpone. Women need to take into account and the fact that during the critical days, the susceptibility of aromas is very much reduced. Therefore, you need to buy perfume before or after them. Going for the desired bottle, you do not need to use toilet water, deodorants, as well as other odoriferous means that will distract during the choice.

A few recommendations from experts:

• It is best to sniff 3-4 scents at a time. Otherwise, the olfactory receptors will get tired and lose sensitivity. Then it will not be possible to feel and catch all the notes of the composition.
• Between samples of perfume you can sniff coffee beans, which will help restore the receptors' receptivity to the odor.
• The whole range does not need to be sniffed at once. If on the first day nothing appealed to you, it is better to postpone the purchase for another day.

Lifehack: when you have decided on a perfume, it is not necessary to buy it exactly where it was chosen. Any perfume can be bought on the Internet. There you can always find cheaper than in fashion showrooms.

How to apply perfume?

There are three levels of perfume odor manifestation: initial, middle, and also residual. When we open the bottle, then immediately in the nose throws a sharp concentrated odor - this is the base of the perfume. Judging by the odor that comes from the bottle or its cap is not possible. First you need to apply the perfume to the skin and wait 15-20 minutes. This is how long it takes for the odor to reveal itself. This odor will be considered the middle odor. And the residual is the one that manifests itself after a few hours. He is barely perceptible. It is also not recommended to “hurry” the scent - rub it on the skin, so that it is quickly revealed. Alcohol stain should evaporate naturally, only in this case you can feel the fragrance fully.

The first impression of the fragrance will help to leave strips-testers made of paper. The tester should be sniffed at a distance of about 2-3 cm from the nose. When the fragrance is liked, ask to apply a drop of perfume on the bend of the elbow or wrist. After 5-10 minutes, we inhale the fragrance. Leaves it on the skin until the evening, we take the sample with us. During the day we sniff it to feel how the fragrance unfolds. If you like it, the next day we buy perfume.

Tips from psychologists

According to psychologists, the choice of perfume will be influenced by the age of the person and his character. They recommend:

• Young girls to give preference to fresh and fruity smells, unisex fragrances.
• Cheerful, energetic and open natures - use floral, citrus flavors.
• Hidden, quiet - oriental shades of fragrances.
• Fickle and sensitive individuals - aldehydic-floral odors.

Some fragrances can affect the human body. For example, the smell of coffee stimulates performance, lavender - soothes, cherry - makes more talkative interlocutor, and vanilla has a calming effect. Smokers are recommended to choose fragrances with the smell of tobacco and leather.

You should also remember that not all perfumes are not gradually revealed. There are those that do not change their odor on the skin over time. If the perfume with too intense odor, then they should be abandoned. Fresh fragrances are better to apply on clothes: the inside of blouses or jackets.
