HOW TO CHOOSE PERFUME - the most popular women's perfumes and the best fragrances

For a first taste of the scent, drip some perfume onto a piece of paper. Put the second drop on your wrist, just do not rub it into the skin: it can change the scent beyond recognition. The smell that you smell the very first is called the top notes. It disappears very quickly - in just a minute.

Perfume aromas are insidious. Depending on the ph level and the composition of the skin secretions, the perfume "opens" in each of us in a different way. So be careful! Advice from friends or reviews on the forums - only to the detriment! Before you buy the coveted bottle, try its amber on yourself.

  • Skin prone to dryness is "weaker" at retaining odor. The pungent aroma (amber, woody) will disappear quickly, stunningly affecting others;
  • Oily skin retains fragrances longer. She elegantly "reveals" pronounced smells.

Apply the perfume to areas with intense pulsation - on the wrists, elbows, temples, or behind the earlobes. Here the skin heats up a little more, so the aromatic components evaporate more intensively.

Quality perfume contains bottom, middle and top notes.

- The upper ones are felt immediately - by the pungent smell and alcohol perfume. These ingredients are like a diesel locomotive that draws out the flavor. If you do not want to get "in the nose", wait 15 minutes for the alcohol to disappear.

- Then the middle notes “open” - the heart of the perfume. Soft and warm, they "sound" for an hour.

- Lower (basic) - the most persistent, long-lasting and ... barely perceptible. You won't be able to get rid of the fragrant trail in a day, even if you want to.

Listen to the smell throughout the day, feel it.

How to choose a perfume for your hair color

  • Most often, the hair color of brunettes is associated with spicy and oriental scents woven with sweet floral scents. Intoxicatingly sultry notes are given by jasmine, musk, lily, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, sandalwood, peony (Amouage Lyric, Christian Dior Hypnotic Poison Eau Secrete). You can turn the head of any man.
  • Blondes will charm with their femininity with floral and green fragrances combined with juicy citrine (Kenzo Parfume D'Ete, Guerlain Mitsouko edp). Lavender, lily of the valley, violet, bergamot mixed with peach, tangerine or lemon - this is yours.

  • Owners of fiery hair will add passion with a tart palette of scents: chypre, woody, leather aromas woven from fragrant components of blueberries, orchids, cedar, etc. And oriental aromas will only enhance the image (Givenchy Ange Ou Demon Le Secret Elixir Intence, Dolce & Gabbana Velvet Tender Oud , Montale Aoud Melody);
  • The light-haired "goes" with a fougere-green line. And also floral amber with a touch of freshness (Calvin Klein Two, Roberto Verino Vv, Diptyque Eau De Lierre). You will be irresistible in the halo of forest fragrances.

Perfumers advise to sniff only two or three scents at a time. The sense of smell is not enough for more. Otherwise, you will hear echoes of other smells and do not appreciate the richness of the aroma of "your" perfume.

How to choose the right perfume by body type

Psychologists assure: the features of the figure, temperament and character are interconnected with each other. A well-chosen scent only enhances them, giving charm to your image.

  • "Hourglass" (the figure resembles the curves of a guitar - the waist is refined, the width of the shoulders and hips are proportional). Floral aromas with marine, citrus, fruity, fougere shades suit you (Salvador Dali, Cnanel No.5, D&G Feminine). Or chypre odors with bitter woody notes mixed with the smells of grass, moss or forest (Guy Laroche Fidji);
  • "Apple" (rounded shape). If you want to emphasize your softness and soulfulness, your “hobbyhorse” is perfumes with a fresh scent (Estee Lauder Pleasures, Balenciaga Paris L'Essence, Armani Acqua di Gio).

Select a few blots (tester strip) with the scent you like and put them in your notebook (paper retains aromas well). Smell the fragrances throughout the day, only then choose the scent you like.

  • "Pear" (hips wider than shoulders and expressive waist).Floral-fruity scents will subtly complement your look, making men look around (Christian Dior J`Adore edp, M. Micallef Mon Parfum Crystal, Cnr Create Cancer Pour Femme);
  • Inverted triangle (shoulder width greater than the roundness of the hips). The fougere scent of green herbs (Creed Royal Water, Tiziana Terenzi Xix March De Parfum), and the fragrance of freshness and water (Armani Acqua di Gioia edp, Kenzo L`Eau Par) will suit you;
  • "Rectangle" (shoulders and hips are the same width, the waist is not expressive). Oriental spicy notes (Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille, Chanel Coco), as well as floral and chypre scents (Amouage Interlude, Tom Ford White Patchouli) will complement the look.

How to choose a perfume scent by the color of the bottle and box

The color of the bottle and packaging "suggests" what flavor is stored:

  • in transparent bottles with shades of green or blue, it is a perfume with fresh marine or herbal amber.
  • dark bubbles are filled with woody and bitter perfume.

  • red, pink, yellow or lilac packaging "speaks" about the content of floral and fruity notes in the bottle.
