Finding the perfume you likeCategory: perfume, fragrance, cologneMonday, 12 april 2010 Finding the perfume you like is not just a matter of choosing celebrity you like best. With the thousands of perfumes available in the market, finding the perfume you like can be quite a complex task to do. Not to mention culture and attitudes towards perfume are changing as fast as the fashion trends nowadays. With many celebrities releasing their own perfume, sometimes it seems as if it's all about fancy packaging and overwrought marketing. The truth is, perfume is much more complex than just the packaging and the marketing. It is a work of art, perhaps even more so than fashion. A bottle of perfume can contain hundreds of perfume ingredients in one packaging just to produce a unique desirable scent ie. Beautiful perfume by Estee Lauder with it's artistry mix of approximately 700 perfume ingredients to create its sensual scent. That's why it is very important to understand the perfume notes. A perfume scent comprises of top notes, middle notes and base notes; top notes are what you smell immediately; middle notes are the scents you pick up after a few minutes; and base notes are which remain after (what the industry calls 'dry down'). To find the perfume scent you like, you have to keep an open mind when you go shopping. Do not assume you love florals or don't like orientals until you actually smell some. Generally, perfume comes in 3 different concentrations: eau de parfum, eau de toilette, and eau de cologne. Eau de parfum comes with stronger concentration and usually last longer than other concentration. The price is also slightly more expensive. When you try on a scent, spray it on a pulse point. Try to pick up the top notes, middle notes, and base notes. Remember to leave about 15 minutes for dry down before you try another scent. Do not try more than 3 or 4 fragrances per shopping trip because you will easily lost touch of how each scent smells. It is very common that some people want uniqueness; they don't want to smell like anyone else. You don't have to spend thousand of dollars to custom made perfume that suits you and just to feel different from others. There are thousands of perfume available in the market for you to choose from, you just have to take it easy and take your time to find the perfume you like. It doesn't have to be perfect choice, but it should be a choice that makes you feel good about yourself and perhaps the people around you. People usually like to wear lighter scents during the day or during warm weather and slightly heavier scents at night.
