Perfume acts as an invisible communicator. You might think it’s just a smell, but fragrance, emotion, and memory are fundamentally linked to these scents leaving perfume holding an influential position.
When you first smell something, your brain starts recording how it feels, so when you experience that smell again, you shift back to the first time you experience that smell.

Research is important
For the right choice, plenty of research is required. There are a lot of smells and scents available in the market- both offline & online. However, it is essential to choose wisely as the perfume you wear represents your personality and it is one of the first things others will notice about you. Don’t just choose the first perfume you smell or the most popular one, take the time to find the scent that you enjoy.

Give your nose a proper space
When you are trying different perfumes, your nose becomes overwhelmed and the true scents tend to get lost. To avoid this situation, fill a mug/ cup with whole coffee beans or coffee grounds and inhale it while smelling each scent. Coffee beans act as an eraser to your nose, removing the first scent so that it doesn’t interfere with smelling the next one. Another trick is to spray the perfume onto the papers provided and not onto the skin itself. Too many scents on your skin can make choosing more difficult and not give you an accurate representation of the actual smell of the perfume.
Spray onto your skin
Perfume and cologne smell different on the skin. That is a fact. Not trying out your perfume on your skin before purchasing is the biggest mistake anyone can make. But doesn’t that contradict our last point?
When perfume shopping we are trying out a lot more scents and overwhelming fragrances so it is recommended to not spray them onto your skin, however, when you’ve got your selection down to two choices, this is your skin’s opportunity to shine. Spray one bottle on the left arm and one onto the right arm. There is always a difference (even the minute difference) in smell when we try smelling the perfume with and without skin.

Every person has their body smell, and the same perfume can smell different on each individual person. Fragrances are sensitive to body chemistry, so that’s why it becomes imperative to try your perfume on your skin to ensure that you are indeed selecting the right perfume for you.
Right apply
When it comes to applying perfume, be mindful; this is the trick that impacts how long the fragrance will last and how that specific scent will smell. It’s better to apply on the warmest areas of your skin: the pulse points (pulse points are areas on the body where the veins flow close to the skin) for long-lasting results.
Pulse points are some of the warmest areas of your skin- the insides of your wrists and elbows, behind your ear, and at the bottom of your throat. The warmth of these points helps in intensifying the smell and keeps it lasting longer.
Understand the high-cost and low-cost products
People often get attracted towards products that cost less, but mostly the low-priced perfumes smell very, very strong when applied but scent trails off fairly quickly as well. Expensive perfumes contain a higher percentage of fragrance oil, meaning they linger for a considerable amount of time longer on your skin. When it comes to perfume you get what you pay for and a little more money upfront will mean a bottle that lasts longer and a smell that can represent you from 8am until you walk into your home at night.
