Choosing “your” scent is a very individual matter. Every woman wants to choose a perfume that would reveal her character, thereby emphasizing femininity and sexuality.
What should a perfume smell like?
The aroma of a properly selected perfume should attract attention with its subtle aroma, seduce, but not be too intrusive. Some people, having chosen their perfume once, cannot refuse it for many years. Others are constantly searching for the right scent, experimenting almost every day.
Choosing a scent is a real art that still needs to be learned. Therefore, let's look at the main features of perfumes, and also try to choose “your” scent together.
Perfumes should be divided into three categories
These are fragrances that are sold mainly in small 15 mg bottles. Appearance bottles are real works of art, various figures, statues are often self made. Such perfumes cannot be bought in regular stores because the price is too high. Perfume has the maximum concentration of aromatic substances.
Water-perfume or day perfume . Such fragrances differ significantly from the previous category: low pricing policy, concentration of aromatic agents and even bottle design.
Eau de Toilette. These are light, simple scents that we can often buy in catalogs or inexpensive perfume stores.
Regardless of the category of perfume, you need to approach the storage of fragrance responsibly. Do not store perfume in a warm place where it may be exposed to direct sunlight. Always close the lid tightly, otherwise the perfume will simply evaporate.
How to apply perfume correctly
By sprinkling perfume on your wrist or elbow, you can extend the effect of the aroma on your body for up to 6-8 hours. At the same time, you will definitely understand whether it suits you or not, because the perfume is long time on the body can change its aroma.
You should also consider that your body has its own specific odor, which when combined with perfume can lead to an unusual combination. Therefore, it is better to test your scent well before going out with it.
How to choose the right perfume - take the test:
What flowers do you prefer?
B) Chamomiles, bells, cornflowers.
What fruits do you like best?
A) Raspberry.
B) Pineapple.
What time of year do you like best?
A) It doesn’t matter, all times are beautiful in their own way.
B) I like autumn, I love rain and yellow leaves under my feet.
C) I love the sun, sea and beach, I’m all for summer!
Which hairstyle do you prefer?
A) Like latest trends and all modern haircuts.
B) I never rack my brains over hairstyles, I’m for practicality.
Sitting still? Not your story! Like everything banal and predictable. You will never get lost in the crowd, and with the help of the right perfume you can stand out even more. We advise you not to pass by the following new products. First, try the “cute killer” Killer Honey, Neotantric Fragrances (1), a floral scent generously seasoned with spices (as it turns out, pepper and ylang-ylang are a very stimulating combination). Secondly, Souffle des Indes, Comptoir Sud Pacifique (4), in which notes of Indian spices, bergamot, jasmine and vanilla are intricately intertwined - a rich and multifaceted combination (we recommend wearing it in the evening: it sounds magical and mega-sexy on skin that has been heated during the day). Thirdly, be sure to check out our favorite - the provocatively named fragrance What We Do in Paris is Secret from the fashion brand A Lab on Fire (5). We promise: you definitely won’t go unnoticed even at the most crowded party. The scent leaves an extraordinary honey-floral trail, spice and sex appeal to which are added notes of lychee, tonka bean, musk and resin from the Brazilian Tolu tree. Also pay attention to the Mediterranean-inspired scents Bronze Goddess Capri, Estee Lauder (2), and Light Blue Dreaming in Portofino, Dolce & Gabbana (3). The first one is very appetizing, with “delicious” notes of black currant and lemongrass. The second is fresher, but with pronounced sweetness and aphrodisiacs, juicy lychee and amber. By the way, it bears little resemblance to its great predecessor Light Blue, but is no less good.Fragrances according to your zodiac sign!

Oh this smell! There are so many disputes and dilemmas about this. How exactly to me choose your scent that will suit my skin and my sense of smell. When I come to the store I can’t decide on perfume. A sales assistant with a sweet, pleasant face and voice comes up to me and advises me on a fragrance, usually some new product that is required in advertising. The story begins about what the composition contains and what notes are revealed at the beginning and at the end, and I no longer consciously imagine how I am walking down the street and everyone turns around in my wake and tries to smell what kind of aroma... Then they offer me to try the aroma and then disappointment sets in. The smell is either too cloying, or it smells like surf, like an air freshener, or it smells like alcohol and I can’t smell it anymore. Of course, I understand that perhaps someone will definitely like this perfume. Well, what about me??? I say thank you to the girl and go to other display cases. And here I am trying to find something, maybe I will be lucky and on the first, second or third try I will find it - my dream. But usually I end up not finding anything, because my sense of smell no longer works, even after coffee. This is the situation I often find myself in... But over time, I began to understand how to do it, I realized what I love! I love classic aromas that are slightly tart, light and slightly sour and sweet. My favorites are , and Burberry Brit Sheer, !

Some manage to find their scent right away, and they do not betray their “companion” for many years, while the rest have to smell and choose, choose, choose...
But choosing a scent is not everything; wearing it is also an art! We will tell you a little about the features and, and also help you choose your scent using a test (at the end of the page).
What we call perfume, perfume and eau de toilette are often not such.
There are three types of perfumes
First view- this is perfume. They are sold in very small 15 ml bottles. In themselves, these bottles are simply some kind of work of art, made filigree, often handmade, in themselves - just a sight for sore eyes. This perfume is expensive, it is not sold in ordinary chain stores. The concentration of aromatic substances is maximum.
Second type- this is eau de parfum (eau de parfum) or daytime perfume. Here the concentration of aromatic substances is much lower, and this product is much cheaper. Sold in large quantities.
Third type - Eau de Toilette. These scents are the lightest.
You should be careful when storing your perfume, keeping it away from direct sunlight and in a very warm place.
You also need to close the lid tightly, otherwise you risk that your favorite perfume will simply evaporate.
As for the choice of perfume: perfumes from Kenzo, Gucci, Givenchy are just brand names. The people who create these perfumes are far behind the scenes, and no one knows about them.
The smell of perfume
The scent of the perfume consists of 3 notes.
First note- the lightest and it evaporates after 15 minutes, these are most often notes of citrus and flowers.
Second- the middle note, also called the heart note, it is this aroma that stays with us all the time when we wear perfume, it is the one that will be felt almost always.
AND third note- the so-called trailing aroma, we feel it at the end, when we come home in the evening, undress and feel this residue, the trail of the past day and your perfume. Therefore, it is very wrong to buy perfume by smelling a cap in a store, or by spraying it on a cardboard strip. You shouldn’t do this, otherwise you’ll just waste money, and after walking around in this scent for a day you’ll realize that it’s not right.
How to apply perfume correctly?
