I’ve always been an ultra feminine person, even as a child. I remember being in grade school wanting to wear perfume so badly that my mom bought me a small bottle of body spray from Walmart and I was the happiest kid on earth. My introduction to the world of fragrance was a very age appropriate one, because that body spray smelled as sweet as pink bubble gum and was filled with glitter, but over time when I transitioned from a girl to a woman my love for fragrance and perfume grew and I started to want more mature scents like the ones that my mom would wear. Over the years I’ve created quite a collection of luxury fragrances that I rotate between, so today lets chat all things perfume and signature fragrances.
Every human has a different body chemistry, so what smells one way on one person might smell differently on someone else, but the fact of the matter is that if a woman smells good then she makes good impression on everyone around her. Every perfume has subtle differences however, which is why having a signature fragrance is not one size fits all. A signature fragrance is just like a person’s signature style which helps the person to be remembered. A signature fragrance isn’t just for everyone around us, but it is also for ourselves. Wearing perfume helps to boost your confidence, makes you more attractive, and helps to improve your overall mood.
Before choosing your signature fragrance, it’s important to know the difference between different kinds of fragrance concentration, because that may be a deciding factor in what you choose. Eau De Toilette has lower fragrance concentration and it contains 4-8% of oil so it usually doesn’t last more than 4 hours, which is why Eau De Toilettes aren’t very expensive. An Eau De Parfum on the other hand, is usually a little more costly because it has a higher fragrance concentration that contains around 15-18% of oil which is mixed with alcohol, and lasts up to 6 hours.
6 Tips on how to choose a Signature Fragrance
First consider the price range, which range is comfortable for you.
Test different kinds of fragrances to figure out which one is better and works best for you.
Don’t test more than 3 perfumes at a time.
If you are not satisfied with a single bottle of perfume, then you can try 2 to 3 perfumes together.
Don’t wear other scents like body lotions or spray while you are selecting perfumes.
Don’t smell immediately after spraying the perfume, always wait for 45 seconds to 1 minute then smell it properly.
If you want to test the fragrance out before committing to it, store like Sephora will actually give sample sizes of any fragrance that they carry so that you can take it home to test it out. The best part about it all is that this service is completely free.
