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.
