Common Mistakes Made When Selecting Perfumes

Even though it seems easy to apply perfume, choosing and storing fragrance can be more difficult than it seems. The following are the most common perfume mistakes that you can avoid.

Smelling immediately after spraying

Wait for at least 30 seconds before smelling the perfume so that the alcohol does not evaporate.

Smelling too many scents without taking a break

If you want to neutralize and absorb smells, you can try smelling another fragrance between spritzes. Alternatively, you can smell either coffee beans or your shirt to 'reset' your senses. In between spritzes, try drinking water to cleanse your palate.

Making perfume selections based on scents

Lotions, sprays, and deodorants with perfume-like scents should be avoided. They can detract from the fragrance and affect your ability to choose the right perfume. Perfume should not be tested too often. Taking this approach, you'll be able to fully appreciate the complexity of each fragrance without being overwhelmed.

 


 

Testing only on blotter sheets

Your signature fragrance will result from a combination of the perfume and your body's chemicals. You should not test the perfume on a paper blotter sheet. This will not help you decide on the perfume that you want.

Avoiding Inspired Perfumes

It is not necessary to select high-end, original and branded fragrances only. There is also an option of buying inspired by perfume. These are exactly identical to the originals, and they contain the same amount of fragrance with much lesser cost.

Rub your wrists together

This mistake should be avoided both when you are testing perfumes on your wrist and when you wear it. This can cause the fragrance to be crushed and the top notes to lose their molecular bonds and weaken the scent.

Thinking your friend’s perfume will work on you too

Your body chemistry is a key factor in how a perfume smells on you. You may have different body chemical composition from your friend, and perfumes may react differently depending on the individual. What might work well for your friend may not work so well for you.

You should always test a perfume on your body to make sure it works.

Being prejudiced

There is no need to like every fragrance. A perfume may contain ten to 200 ingredients. Each fragrance has its unique balance. Don't let preconceived ideas about fragrances lead you to discount certain notes.
