Yes, yes I know we are an online indie clothing boutique, we don’t sell perfume but it is a great accessory to our Indie clothing just like a bag or a pair of shoes….it is that finishing touch like sprinkles on your frozen yogurt! Checkout this perfume necklace…..yup its wearable too!
With the thousands of fragrances in the market, and new ones being added daily it can be tricky to choose the one that is perfect for your taste, personality, the occasion, and other factors. For many of us we just go out and pick out our usual, hopefully this little checklist will be helpful when choosing and even wearing the perfect perfume for you.
1. What’s your budget?
Yes this may seem obvious but it is worth a mention……perfumes are priced in a very big range, from very inexpensive colognes to luxurious designer brands. Determining your budget or the money you are prepared to spend beforehand will help narrow down the choices and will save you a lot of time.
2. What type of smell do you like?
Decide on what type of fragrance you want based on what use the perfume would be to you. For instance, is it for special occasions? Is it to please or seduce a lover? Is it for everyday wash and wear? If you plan to please someone, make sure to research on the particular fragrances he or she likes. If you want it to be an everyday whiff you can wear to work or school, you may want to buy a lighter and fresher scent. If it’s for big parties and formal events, choose a perfume that makes a stronger impact by blending well with your body chemistry and your clothes.
Other factors like the weather or season are also important to consider. For instance, if you live in a very humid setting, floral fragrances with a woody or musky base often complement the sultry weather. If you’re often surrounded by a lot of people in near proximity, don’t choose a very strong perfume because not everyone likes perfume….we all have those elevator stories. Citrus, sea breeze and other herb and floral fragrances are often fresh and rejuvenating, perfect for someone always on the go. If you will be out on a date and want to heighten the romance, choose a scent that is a bit stronger but not overpowering. Usually Asian spices project confidence and sophistication. Meanwhile, aromatic blends are perfect for men who like to smell like a true man exuding with machismo and security.
3. Test many before buying.
When you’ve finally narrowed down your choices and you’re ready to go to a perfume shop, don’t forget to carefully examine each perfume you fancy before getting ahead of yourself and purchasing. Take note that your nose can only handle so much and testing 20 perfumes consecutively will prove to be futile. Before you start spraying a perfume on your wrist, spray it first on a card or paper and decide if you like it. If not, move on to the next. Once you find a scent you think is perfect, start testing it on your own skin. Apply a small amount on your wrist or on the back of your arm. Wait for a few minutes because fragrances start to grow on you and smell different after a while…..then it’s off to the cash register.
