Choosing the perfect perfume is as vital as choosing the right dress or perfect pair of shoes. Unlike clothing and footwear choosing the wrong kind of perfume is unforgivable. Especially if your smelling something in between tequila and saffron.
Facts
1. Fragrance of a perfume varies from each skin , So don’t purchase one:
· By smelling the top of an open bottle.
· By testing it on one of those testing sticks.
· A recommendation from a friend or review.
· Results from an online “what’s your fragrance test?”
Tip: Take your time when selecting a perfume. Spray it on your skin (wrist) and then decide if it’s you or not. TAKE YOUR TIME.
2. Concentration
· Perfume : The Ultimate luxury. It is the most powerful and purest type of perfume. The higher concentration offers strength, hold and persistence.
· Eau de Parfum: It has high perfume content and comes in two forms: bottle or spray. A unique and sophisticated creation, a unique, intermediate concentration.
· Eau de Toilette: The fragrant reflection of every moment. Eau de toilette is lighter and can be used more generously than an Eau de parfum. It evokes an elegant and relaxed daytime outfit. A light, sparkling concentration.
If you’re wondering why the perfume you purchased recently doesn’t stay on all day. The above is your answer.
3. Using Perfume
· Spray it behind your ears, on the back of your wrists, back of your neck and behind your knees. It’s where perfume lasts the longest.
· You can spray it lightly in to the air and enter in to it. That way your hair gets whiff of it too.
· Do not spray perfume on your clothes. It does stain. And it doesn’t look pleasant.
· Remember to always use perfume before putting your jewellery on.
For most of us perfume is an option. For some of us it’s a preference. For the few of us it’s as essential as brushing your teeth in the morning. A faithful contributor to our confidence and a patron of our sex appeal, perfume is definitely our favorite secret weapon.
