Fragrance Basics

Choosing The Right Fragrance for You

Choosing a new fragrance can be fun or it can be confusing.

Follow these basic steps and you are sure to find something that you will love.

1. Know the style of fragrance that you prefer.

The six main types of fragrance are

1. Florals – sweet, romantic and feminine with the scent of a particular flower or a blend of flowers.

2. Citrus- tangy and fresh

3. Orientals- intense and exotic fragrances with scents of musk, vanilla and spices.

4. Oceanic or Water – these resemble the scent of the sea.

5. Greens- fresh energetic perfumes that remind you of the outdoors.

6. Woodsy-Clean fresh scents with hints of bark, moss and other forest things.

You may even like different types of scents in different seasons.

2. Next, sample a different fragrance whenever you are out and about and have the opportunity.

3. Try it on your wrist where you can smell it several times through out the day after applying it.

4. Don’t smell it immediately after applying it as you may smell the alcohol most strongly at first.

5. The fragrance will change over time as most fragrances have 3 layers – a top note, middle note and base note.

You need to sniff it at different stages to make sure that you enjoy it after it settles on you.

Remember what you have tried and see what it is like on you a few hours after trying it. If the scent has disappeared it may not be right for you.

  1. Hello there, just wandered by. I have a Nautica website. Can’t believe the amount of information out there. Wasn’t exactly what I was looking for, but interesting page. Have a great day.

    A few things i have constantly told persons is that while searching for a good online electronics retail store, there are a few components that you have to factor in. First and foremost, you need to make sure to look for a reputable and reliable shop that has enjoyed great critiques and ratings from other people and market sector experts. This will make sure that you are getting along with a well-known store that gives good services and help to their patrons. Many thanks sharing your notions on this website.

  3. Great job here. I really enjoyed what you had said. Keep going because you definitely bring a new voice to this subject. Not many people would say what youve said and still make it interesting. Well, at least it is very interested. Cant wait to see more of this from you.

  4. Great says:

    Amazing design. Did you do it yourself or did you hire someone? I´m looking for someone to redesign my websites.

    Hey there! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this site? I’m getting tired of Wordpress because I’ve had issues with hackers and I’m looking at alternatives for another platform. I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

  6. Extraordinarily good thanks, It is my opinion your subscribers would definitely want a good deal more articles of this nature maintain the great effort.

  7. I really like your site and i really appreciate the awesome quality content you are posting here for free for your online readers. Thank you.

  8. There are some interesting points in time in this article but I don’t know if I see all of them center to heart. There is some validity but I will take hold opinion until I look into it further. Good article , thanks and we want more! Added to FeedBurner as well

  9. I do like the way you have framed this particular challenge plus it does indeed offer us some fodder for consideration. On the other hand, through what I have seen, I simply just trust when other reviews stack on that men and women remain on issue and don’t embark upon a soap box of some other news du jour. Anyway, thank you for this excellent piece and although I do not go along with the idea in totality, I regard the viewpoint.
