The way you are perceived by others is important especially if you are in other people’s company on a daily basis. Most people care about the impression they leave on others, if they have any self pride and that is why they like to wear perfume. Nobody wants to be near someone that does not smell clean and fresh, but when you have a pleasing aroma those around you appreciate it on a conscious and unconscious level. Unfortunately many people follow fashion trends and purchase the very latest designer fragrance, regardless of whether it happens to suit them or not.

The Different Fragrance Notes

How a particular fragrance will smell on you has many determining factors. Your diet, body temperature, skin chemistry and natural aroma will determine how a perfume will smell when you wear it. Therefore never buy anything just because it happens to suit someone else or you like it on them, because a fragrance that smells great on your friend may not on you. She may like wearing Juicy Couture Perfumes and you may love the fragrance, but they may not smell right for your own signature perfumes.

There are two ways to decide if a fragrance suits you or not. Firstly, spray or dab it on. You can find out if a perfume smells nice on you by trying it, and this is the only way to determine what suits you if you have only just begun to experiment with fragrances. After you have been wearing perfume for a while and have gone through a few bottles of different fragrances, you will begin to get an idea of what fragrance notes suit you and what ones do not. Secondly, your perfume choice will begin to inspire people to comment if their senses are urged.

The fragrance notes are what makes every scent smell unique. Every fragrance, it doesn’t matter which one you try, will all be composed of top, middle and base notes. Top notes are what you initially smell when you apply the perfume to your skin and have a well-defined aroma or scent. Once the top notes begin to evaporate you will begin to notice the middle notes, which have a more delicate smell. Base notes have lush, resonant aroma and they last longer. The middle and base notes of a perfume form its base.

Knowing You Have Found Your Signature Perfume

Finding your signature perfume is analogous with choosing the right romantic partner in that it often takes time and experience and it isn’t something that can be rushed. If you want to find your own special signature perfume then forget about fashions and the latest trends. Instead try various discount perfumes or trial size bottles until you eventually find the one that suits you best. Once you have found the right fragrance for you, people will begin to ask you what you are wearing. Finding your signature perfume can require a lot of effort, but once you do, it will make you feel attractive and boost your self-esteem so it is definitely a worthwhile endeavor.
