How to choose perfume: Learn how to find the best perfume for you

We know that finding the ideal perfume is not an easy task. For this reason, having some tips and considering some points when making this choice is essential. To help you in this moment of doubt, we have separated some suggestions that may be the help you needed to know how to find the best perfume.

When we choose a perfume, we don’t do it simply because of the aroma it exudes. Our perfume also represents who we are, almost like an extension of our presence, a mark of our personality. For a perfume to be worthy of being called a “signature perfume” as we say in perfumery, it is very important that it is in harmony with you, that it complements you and makes you feel good and confident.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of excellent options on the market and you will definitely find that special perfume to call yours!

Below we separate some golden tips that will certainly make the task of finding the best perfume for you much easier.

What impression do I want to make with my new perfume?

A crucial point before deciding on the perfume that will represent you is to know what impression and impact you want to make on those who smell your perfume and of course, it has to match your personality. If you are a reserved and shy person, it has nothing to do with using a strong and expansive perfume, right?

That’s why it’s very important to ask yourself: What is my goal when using this perfume? Is it showing strength, delicacy, elegance, discretion, seriousness? It can help highlight certain points of your personality.

In which environment will I use this perfume?

It may not seem like it, but the environment you will be in will greatly influence the choice of perfume. Just imagine a work environment, closed office and a person using a very strong perfume and in exaggerated quantity? It will certainly cause a feeling of discomfort and even suffocation not only for you, but also for your co-workers.

For closed environments with little ventilation, opt for softer perfumes and closer to the skin. Now, if you go to a party with an open environment, you can throw yourself into that most striking perfume without fear!

On what occasion will the perfume be used?

The occasion is very much in line with the previous point about the environment to be used, with the difference that here we have certain occasions when it is not good to wear a very strong perfume.

Here are two examples to illustrate: visiting a friend who just had a baby and a job interview. These are two situations where a little more sobriety and discretion is required. In them, perfume cannot be the protagonist of your look. A very heavy perfume can even cause some discomfort to the mother and the newborn. And at the job interview, maybe the smell doesn’t please the interviewer. Have you ever thought about missing an opportunity because of your perfume? Better not risk it!

What is the ideal climate to use my new perfume?

Yes, the temperature and seasons of the year influence the way your perfume will develop and exhale the aroma.

That’s because perfume interacts with the chemistry in our skin and, depending on the season, we sweat more, our skin is warmer or colder. That’s why many times when we use that hot perfume that exudes a lot in the summer we have the feeling that it is suffocating us.

In spring and summer with warmer days, opt for softer, citrus, aquatic and light floral scents.

In autumn and winter, that woody, sweeter or more spicy scent will fit like a glove!

What is the ideal time of day to use my perfume?

As with the seasons, the time of day will also influence how you perceive your perfume. There’s no secret here: during the day, the softer, more discreet perfumes go really well. During the night, put on that perfume of yours for the game!

Try the perfume before you buy

Let those who have never felt that wonderful perfume on a friend’s skin throw the first stone and didn’t go to the store running to buy it and when they tried it, they didn’t like it!

Well, it happens! As mentioned above, perfume changes its scent as it interacts with our skin’s chemistry. What looks good on your friend may not look so good on you. So, no buying perfumes blindly.

Go to the store, try it on your skin (no scent tape), take your time home and see how it evolves. Did you go home, smell it and like it? Success, you can buy without fear!

Many perfume stores offer free samples, go up to the salesperson and ask without shyness. This way you will have even more time to feel the perfume.

Another cool tip, there are sites on the internet that sell the perfume fractionated, in smaller quantities. They are called decants and are a great alternative for those who don’t want to risk a large bottle of perfume.

Read perfume reviews

To the perfume reviews can be a great source of information when choosing a perfume. Look for reviews online or in specialized perfume magazines.

However, remember that reviews are subjective and what works for one person may not work for you.

Do not hurry

When choosing a perfume, it is important not to rush. Take your time to experiment with different options and find the perfect scent for you.

Don’t feel pressured to buy a perfume right away, especially if you’re not sure whether you like it or not. After all, perfume is like clothes, it has to make you feel good!

Conclusion

Choosing the perfect perfume can be a challenging process, but by following these helpful tips, you’re sure to make a more accurate choice and go out there collecting compliments!
