Learn Some Tips And Tricks With Perfume
Fragrances can often reflect our mood and personality. A certain scent you love on a friend may smell quite differently on you as each fragrance reacts differently according to our own chemical makeup.
When you are in a store and testing a perfume, before you buy it you need to wait about 10 minutes to allow the fragrance to react to your body chemistry. Smell it after the first application and then smell it again after waiting. This allow you to sample both the top and middle notes of the scent and give you a good sense of how the fragrance will linger throughout the day.
When you're at a store, be sure to limit how many fragrances you try at one time and stick to just 3-4 at a time. Otherwise your olfactory senses may become overwhelmed and you may not be able to tell one perfume from the other!
Wait for about an hour or so after sampling the perfume if you are concerned about an allergic reaction. If no reaction occurs by that time, it is probably safe to go ahead and splurge on that new perfume!
Always apply fragrances directly to your skin or hair, as some fragrances (especially parfums and eau de parfums which have a higher concentration of oils) may cause discoloration on certain fabrics. Silk will be damaged if you applied fragrances to it and this is something you would want to avoid.
If spritzing a bit on your clothing is what you like to do, then test it first to a hidden area such as an inner lining before you spray it all over yourself. This is true when it comes to "dry clean only" clothing and delicate fabrics.
Depending upon the season, one should change their fragrance. This means that you should go for lighter scents during the hot weather and the stronger scents should be used during the drier and cool weather. Heat intensifies the scent, so there is no need to douse yourself in a heavy scent during the summer. If you are outdoors, it would be better to stick to light and clean scents because of the fact that bees, wasps, hornets, and other flying bugs are attracted to flowery fragrances.
Keep in mind that you should keep that favorite perfume in a cool and dark place if you want to keep it as fresh as the day you bought it. It wouldn't hurt to keep the bottle in it's original box. You may even want to keep it in the fridge, so you can have a refreshingly cool spritz of your perfume before heading out for the day!
