The Art of Perfume

Just as the perfect outfit can stay in a person's memory, so will the fragrance that envelops them. Some people have stronger body odors than others, and not all natural scents are unpleasant. However, wearing the right perfume will ensure that the fragrance you are emitting is a appealing one. Think of perfume as an accessory to your outfit. Too much fragrance will make your ensemble overdone and clashing to those around you. You want just a subtle hint of fragrance that lingers in the air and leaves them wanting more.

Just as perfume can complete your outfit, it can also clue others in as to your personality and even your mood. Oriental spicy fragrances tend to appeal to sophisticated and confident women. This is very popular with women who know what they want and working hard to get it. If you are more of a free-spirit, sensual and nurturing, then a woody fragrance might be more suitable for you. Romantics tend to favor floral scents. Citrus fragrances are often geared toward the vivacious, exuberant, and mischievous woman.

While one of these categories may appeal to you more than the others, you can always mix it up depending on your mood. For example, a spicy, exotic fragrance might be more appropriate for a sexy, yet classy night out on the town. A light, floral scent would be even more pleasing during a bright spring day. Maybe save a citrusy scent for those times when you're feeling particularly frisky and feisty.

Believe it or not, but the aroma that you wear can actually enhance or detract from your mood. We are very sensory-oriented individuals and a simple smell can trigger all kinds of emotions within us. For example, some fragrances (like the smell of a fresh bread baking or a roast in the oven) can automatically make you feel warm and comforted because your subconscious mind associates them with good memories. But some people dislike the strong smell of roses, because perhaps it reminds them of a funeral in their past and evokes sad memories. Think of the "good smells" in your life and choose a perfume that leaves you feeling happy and loved.

Some people do not realize that different times of the year can also affect the fragrance of your perfume. During the summer months, when humidity is at an all-time high, our skin produces more oil and scents can last much longer. Popular summery fragrances are floral and fruity scent. Light floral fragrances are also fun for spring. Autumn is good time to try out woody, earthy tones with a little bit of fruit mixed in. During the winter, the coldness keeps perfume from evaporating and makes the fragrance linger. Take care to go easy on heavy, spicy fragrances during this time, as they can easily become overwhelming.

A few other simple tips are to avoid rich, heavy perfumes when you are going to be eating a meal. You don't want to overpower the wonderful aroma of the food that you will be eating (either for yourself or those around you)! Any time you will be in a large crowd of people, opt for something light and neutral. Too many scents in one room can be quite jarring to the senses. Wearing perfume is an art. Let the fragrance work its magic and you can sit back and take credit as the artist who brought it all together.
