Choosing A Fragrance That Compliments Your Personality
No two wearers of the same perfume will smell the same and whether you purchase fragrances online or in a store, choosing one that suits you can be tricky. The amazing thing about choosing a signature fragrance, whether it’s for you or someone else, is that each individual note of a perfume will in fact smell differently on other people, depending on their skin type, diet, hormones and even their personality. So finding the right one that
compliments all of these things isn’t as straightforward as you might initially think.
Personal Preference
When it comes to finding the right fragrance to suit your personality, a lot of it will come down to the types of fragrances you like. Each perfume is made up of different notes and each fragrance can say a lot about the person wearing it too. The top note tends to be the first fragrances to hit your senses, whereas the base notes will be more subtle and usually take more time to develop and hit your nose.
When trying to figure out what type of fragrance matches your personality, the first thing to do is to identify the types of scents you like most or even the things you enjoy doing. If you’re a lover of flowers or the great outdoors you are more likely to be drawn to floral, herby or ocean scents that might remind you of long walks along the coast or even your own back garden. Whereas, those who love the mystery of travel, faraway places and spicy foods may prefer musky, spicy and oriental tones that reflect their passion for exotic places.
You can take this to the next level and extend it to the types of music you like, your favourite foods, holiday destinations and the type of person you are. Are you fun and playful, sexy and sultry, shy and sensitive or a hopeless romantic? All of these personality traits and lifestyle preferences will dictate the choice of perfume that will best compliment you.
The Personality of a Fragrance
If you start to look at the ingredients in a fragrance, you can get a good gauge before you even smell it as to whether it’s right for you. Each fragrance has its own personality, so identifying the fragrance personality as well as what you like will help you to decide whether it’s a good match for you.
Many people with strong personalities, who want to make a statement with their perfume when they enter a room, are more likely to be better suited to stronger fragrances that contain ingredients such as vanilla, cinnamon and sandalwood. These tones can be overpowering if they aren’t matched with the right wearer or other ingredients, so make sure you have the personality to match. These ‘heavier’ scented perfumes can also enhance sexiness and sultriness of the wearer, and make for a wonderfully elegant and impressionable evening perfume.
These types of fragrances, don’t match everyone though. Those who are perhaps more shy and sensitive, could well be better suited to a lighter, more floral fragrance that has more subtle tones throughout, but also hidden depths of fun and playfulness too.
When it comes to finding your signature fragrance don’t just opt for the first thing you see; shop around and experiment with different scents to find the right match. It’s always a good idea to know what you like before you buy and a good fragrance supplier, whether you buy fragrances online or in a retail store, there always be advice on offer and a good range of products to suit your needs.
