If you believe advertising, perfume makes us: romantic, sexy, self-confident, ironic, dreamy, cheerful, daring, beautiful … Smells cause 8 emotional states, of which four are favorable: happiness, sensuality, stress relief, excitement, and four unfavorable ones, if the aroma is chosen incorrectly. So that the feeling of beauty and self-confidence does not leave you, listen to how to choose the right perfume!

There are no unequivocal advice, since the perception of smell is very individual, even intimate, the same perfume can sound differently depending on the type of skin (this is due to the level of acidity of the skin, the state of your hormonal system, etc.), hair color, temperament and even the season. And yet there are subtleties in this matter that should be taken into account if you do not want to be branded as tasteless or vulgar.

Do not choose perfume in the early morning hours, when the sense of smell has not yet turned on. And, of course, don't try many options at once. To "appreciate" the perfume, you need to perfume your wrist from the inside (in no case, do not rub the perfume into your skin). Before putting a drop of perfume on your skin, make sure that this place does not smell of anything else - neither your perfume, nor soap, nor cream. After all, you want to appreciate a new smell, and by no means an explosive mixture.

When shopping, smell the lighter scents first, and leave the intense ones for later. Never put your nose too close to the skin moisturized with perfume, do not inhale the scent directly from the bottle.

Pay attention to what type of perfume you have tried: Extrait (extract), Eau de Parfum (eau de parfum) or Eau de Toilette (Eau de Toilette)? Different types differ in intensity and persistence, sometimes in the nature of the smell.

First of all, the aroma should match your psyche and its characteristics.

Born leaders, those who are rightfully considered its "soul" in any campaign, active, able to take risks and then drink champagne, will like the following scents:

If inner peace and harmony are important to you; you are quite sociable, but you can easily disconnect from the outside world; you often think; avoid companies of superficial people; reject encroachments on your individuality, choose: (this fragrance loves, by the way, Renee Zelweger)

Thorough women seeking peace and safety, planning everything ahead of time, not loving conflicts are suitable:

Dreamy, romantic, loving home comfort, sensitive and prone to experiences, having a desire for the new and at the same time attachment to the past and old favorite things, you need to stifle:

Cheerful and cheerful, but easily vulnerable people, often making impulsive decisions, should choose:

Balanced persons who strive at all costs in communicating with others to keep their feelings under control and who do not like to let people too close to themselves, striving to achieve a certain position and recognition are suitable:

Ladies with a harmonious and strong character, rarely feeling unhappy and depressed; those who know what they want, easily solve problems, do not reflect on the past, confident in themselves should give preference to the spirits of such brands:

The spirits should also match your style … Women who prefer a classic style of clothing change their perfume much less often. They can use both the aromas that have already become classics, such as "Opium", "Coco", "Mm Rochat", "Chanel No. 5", "Chanel No. 19", "Anais-Anais", as well as more modern perfume the same direction: Very Valentino (Valentino); Salvatore Ferragamo pour femme; DKNY (Michelle Pfeiffer's favorite perfume); Paul Smith for her; Boss Woman; Chaumet-L'Eau (Chaumet).

Light scents are suitable for summer airy dresses, and for extravagant ones we choose aggressive and heavy perfumes.

Spirits must fit the situation: for work, a watery perfume is better, for a first date - light spring aromas (avoid fougere-camphor notes of lavender, oakmoss, coumarin, laurel and bergamot), but for a night of love - oriental vanilla or with the smell of spices that wake up erotic fantasies (On this occasion, I recall the advice of one Russian perfumer who worked at the House of Chanel for many years: "At night use perfume with fruit aromas - they cause not only olfactory sensations, but also gustatory sensations. Such aromas turn a woman from a flower into an alluring fruit that promises pleasure. ").

Smells should be selected according to the season … In summer, on hot and humid days, when natural body odors intensify, we recommend using a light perfume with fresh aromas of greenery and flowers. In warmer months, rather sweet honey floral aromas are appropriate, with which a woman becomes like a blossoming bud.

In winter, when the air is dry and cold, its own odors are minimized, so the winter months are the right time for strong and strong perfumes. The season of rose oil and oriental fragrances is coming. In the cold, the so-called chypre perfumes are especially good: Deci Dela by Nina Ricci, V. E. from Versace, Yvresse (also called Champagne) from Yves Saint-Laurent, Fendi from Fendi, Diva from Ungaro. Their tart, pungent woody-mossy notes, like no others, emphasize the richness of furs and give a feeling of inner warmth.

Fragrances can match hair color … Burning brunettes, especially of the oriental type, will suit spicy, intoxicatingly sultry perfumes. They contain sensual aromas of jasmine, tuberose, orange blossom, lily, narcissus, white lilac, and in their very heart are hidden musk or amber, leather and sandalwood. Your choices are: Shalimar and Samsara by Guerlain, Opium by Yves Saint Laurent, Magie Noir by Lancome, in which a heady mix of amber, spices, roses and sandalwood creates an atmosphere of 1001 nights fairy tales. Christian Dior's Sweet Poison Poison contains a wonderful cocktail of aromas of berries, honey and cinnamon in its bottle.

Blondes, on the other hand, should wear perfumes with clean, fresh notes that are in perfect harmony with their delicate appearance. Such compositions certainly contain notes of freesia, lavender, lily of the valley, violet, blue lilac, bergamot, mimosa, mignonette, citrus.

Fiery red-haired women are characterized by bright sexuality and temperament. In perfumes, they look for, on the one hand, peppery strength, strength, brightness, and on the other, caressing and intoxicating waves of freshness. Therefore, the aroma of hyacinth is so close, fresh, teasingly sensual. You can find him in Jardin de Soleil by Escada, in New west for her by Estee Lauder.

But still, the majority of Russian women are brown-haired. Golden brown-haired women with a delicate complexion, feminine and fragile, but at the same time active, in a perfume needs a strong and bright takeoff, slowly evaporating in floral accords. Almost any floral perfume will suit such a woman, but most of all - with warm notes of gardenia, acacia, honeysuckle, sweet pea.

Very dark brown-haired women are close to the honey-spicy aromas of the Moroccan and Bulgarian rose, Cyclomene L Eau Bell from Azzaro, which emphasize the sensual origin of such a woman, but they do not have the rich spicy sweetness of oriental perfumes.

Always remember that aroma is a moment, but a moment of happiness, to which we always return and strive for all our life. There are no women who do not love perfume, there are women who have not found their scent.
