Perfume is a commodity that has been used by both men and women for centuries. It
has been used to to delight, arouse and inspire people’s sense of smell and thus other sensual desires of the human
body. People around the world have different and varied ideas about smells that that attract them or repeal
them.
I am sure that you, along with many, have experienced walking into a room where someone is wearing either too
much or a strong smelling perfume. You gag and have either gotten a
headache or have been even drawn in by the pleasantness.
If you are going to use perfume or oils it is of value to understand how to properly use them and be able to
apply it correctly.
Just the Right Scent
The first step to understand when learning about using perfume is that all scents are not right for all people.
Even if you purchase or receive the most expensive products, it will only smell right on certain people. As you
come to learn about fragrances, it is worth taking the time to explore what scents are best for your body
chemistry. This will allow you to experiement about the desired effect of the perfume on those around you.
If the scent is meant to be a pleasant smell for day to day use it will usually be completely different than a
scent that is meant to seduce your lover. As you go shopping, stop by the Perfume counters at department stores you
visit. These are great places to get to smell and sample different products before you purchase one or several of
them. Take your time as you smell all the various types.
You want to find smells that are pleasing to you. Then you will want to try each type. You should try one at a
time over several days to see which perfume blends best with their body. It can help the process go faster if you
learn to identify the category of each label. Some scents are woody, some are floral, some are a blend. As you read
labels and enjoy, or are repeled by certain smells you will come to know what type of scent you want to define you.
Seeking outthe trained person behind the counter that works at a fine perfume shop can be very helpful in your
search.
How to Properly Apply Perfume
Once you settle on just the right scent, then you will want to also understand how best to apply the product.
For the sake of those around you, please don't skip over this lesson. Perfume and other scents are meant to be
subtle, not overpowering. People who pass by you should get a whiff of the pleasant smell and not be overcome by
the odor.
Just apply a dab of fragrance to your pulse points on your wrists and neckline, this is the most common and
popular use. Others choose to spray the scent in the air and walk through so that they have a total body
application. If you are intent on seduction a small dab of an alluring scent in your cleavage ares is usually very
effective.
Some scents work better when sprayed over the hair and then allowing them to be more true to the original scent
and not mixed with the perspiration and musk of the individual. This of course won't work if you wear too many hair
products. No matter how you decide to wear your fragrance please thing about how it is mixing with other lotions,
shampoos and powders that have their own odor. If you are wearing an expensive perfume than consider using
unscented verisons of all your other products.
The bottom line is to always be aware that the scent achieved is simple and
desirable.
