Role of Fragrances

Fragrances are romantic and sensual. It certainly creates an allure when you are around somebody who smells good. For the world in general, a fragrance simply makes the wearer more attractive and pleasant to be around. Our sense of smell has such an evocative power.
The reason why people wear fragrances is a complex concoction of psychological motivations including social and sexual attraction, seduction, romance, status definition, confidence building, enhancement of feelings of personal well being and self esteem.

How to apply

For maximum diffusion, you should apply a fragrance to your “pulse” points, including the inner wrists and elbows, behind the knees and in the nape of the neck. For a more subtle effect, some people like to spray the fragrance in the air and walk into it. If you have allergic tendencies or very sensitive skin, you may prefer to spritz fragrances onto your clothes, which will make a subtle but long-lasting impression

Lighter skin people tend to prefer lighter perfumes: floral/citrus, fruity/green, and darker skin people tend to prefer more spicy and warm perfumes. Young people usually prefer light floral, fruity and citrus’ perfumes while older people prefer more strong perfumes.

Each fragrance family has its own personality, but each person’s ideal fragrance is unique to themselves.

Choose the Best Fragrance to Suit Your Personality

When shopping for a new perfume, choose a scent that will give an extension to your personality. The ideal way to find the best perfume that will compliment your individuality is to make sure that you love how it smells and that it will love you back as well.

There’s no way to accurately judge a scent by the bottle, so you’ll need to try a new fragrance on your skin. To test out a perfume, spray it on your inner arm and let it settle for a few minutes. Ask yourself or persons you are close with to give you their honest opinion. Once you’ve done your check, buy a bottle with confidence.

Some things one should know

Human skin is a complex organ defined by thickness, moisture content, acidity (pH), oiliness and texture. All of these can change at different times and can affect the way a perfume emanates from the skin. In addition, each person has unique natural scent profile defined genetically. When you find that a perfume smelled great on a friend just doesn’t work for you, it may be that your basic skin chemistry is changing the scent, or rather that the perfume does not compliment your own natural scent profile.

Our sense of smell is directly linked to our emotional state, as well as to genetic patterns that define physical balance and health. Some research suggests that our smell sensitivity declines as we age, so we may tend to prefer stronger, more long lasting scents as we get older.

Fragrances also interact differently with dry or oily skin. Oily skin, on the other hand, hold on to the top notes longer, and can retain softer scents over time.

Remember, smell of a fragrance sniffed from the bottle will never be the same when you wear it on your skin. It also differs from skin to skin. Fragrances smell differently based on few factors like body temperature, weather and your diet condition.

It is wise to Choose the heavier Fragrances during winter & lighter ones during Summer months.
