Unique Signature Scents

When you buy perfumes, however, you have to be careful.  It is very unwise to just pick up a bottle and head off to the counter to buy that fragrance.  You have to test it on your skin first.  Not only is it possible that you could be allergic to some perfumes, but a fragrance that smells nice on one person will not smell the same on you.

The Three Elements of Fragrance

The scent of a perfume is determined by three elements: the theme of the fragrance, its notes and its concentration.  Knowing about these three elements can help you decide on which would be the best perfume that would suit you and your personality.

* Citrus – created from fruits rich in citric acid, like oranges, bergamots and lemons, always light and fresh-smelling.
* Earth – lends an air of mystery upon the wearer, formulated from minerals or from non-flowering plants such as cinnamon, vanilla, honey and sandalwood.
* Musk – always considered sexy and alluring, and though previously made from the sacs of animals such as the civet and the Asian musk deer, they are now created synthetically.
* Floral – the most common theme among perfumes; as the name suggests, they are made from the essence of flowers and are often strong, clinging and sweet.

* Top note – the instant impression created by the fragrance.  It is supposed to attract people to the scent, but it quickly dissipates.
* Heart note – called the body of the perfume, the perfume’s essence.  It tells the smeller what the fragrance is supposed to be about.
* Base note – the scent that lingers after the top note and the heart note evaporates.  It is the main message of the perfume.

Tips on How to Buy Perfume

1. Never buy a scent just because you liked how it smelled on someone else.  Remember that our signature scent is uniquely our own, so what may smell good on others may not be as good on our skin.

2. Never be in a rush when buying perfume.  The best way to test a fragrance is to spray some on your wrist and let it linger for 30 minutes.  It usually takes a scent to display all its three notes within 30 minutes.  If you like what you smell on yourself after that time, go ahead and buy the fragrance.

3. Always get a scent that expresses your personality.  You should always think of the fragrances you wear as extensions of yourself.

4. Always remember that the chemical makeup of a perfume is delicate.  Therefore, never store your fragrances in extremely cold or extremely hot places, or where they can be caught by direct sunlight.

5. Never hoard your perfumes or else they will just evaporate.
