The first modern perfumes appeared in Hungary in the 14th century. They were created for Queen Elizabeth. According to legend, “Hungarian water” saved him from diseases and rejuvenated him. The meaning of perfume is much more important than it seems. Smells are associated with people, times and places. Therefore, you should choose the perfume that will suit you in every respect. We’ve put together a guide to help you find the perfect scent.
Step 1: Identify Notes
It’s impossible not to be confused when you stand in front of the perfume shelves in a store. The first thing you need to do is determine the notes you want to feel. There may be several of them: floral, woody, green, citrus and others. If you are calm and balanced, we recommend that you choose woody scents that bring you closer to nature and create a feeling of comfort. If you are an irritable and energetic person, take a closer look at citrus and floral fruits, which are invigorating and refreshing.
Step 2: Apply the scent to your wrist
Now you roughly understand what scents to look for. Since the scent of the perfume is different on the skin, apply it to your wrist and wait. Any new smell irritates the receptors, so you need to get used to it. If you smell a perfume very strongly on you for a long time, that perfume is probably not suitable for you. And if the scent dissipates quickly on you, then it’s probably made for you.
Step 3: Evaluate Your Feelings
Your feelings are also very important. Some perfumes can cause irritation, itching or coughing. Therefore, pay attention to your body’s reaction after use. For example, many people start to sneeze due to the smell of oranges, so a citrus scent will not work. Headaches may occur due to vanilla and very spicy perfume.
Step 4: Check if you get tired of the perfume during the day
For many people, the aroma is more pleasant in the morning than in the evening. After a long day, perfume can become boring. Even if this did not happen and you did not realize that you were applying perfume, feel free to add it to your collection.
Step 5: Test on the brand’s website
Many brands have perfume selection tests on their websites. You need to specify your gender, the notes you want, your age, and you will be presented with a perfume option that you may like. Once you find your ideal scent, we recommend reading the article on how to make it last longer.
