Buying perfumes is both enjoyable and difficult. You should not be guided in this business on well-known brands or run to the store for a widely publicized novelty. Better to trust your own feelings.
Find your fragrance
Such purchases as perfumes are best done in specialized cosmetic stores or in large department stores. It will save you from meeting with fakes, which were divorced on a colossal scale.
Going to the store for perfume, do not choke yourself, otherwise you will not be able to smell in its purest form.
Of the many flavors to choose your own - not an easy task. Don't forget to bring a handful of coffee beans to the store. Their fragrance will interrupt the smell of previous perfumes. In general, perfumers are not advised to try at one time more than two or three flavors, otherwise the nose can let you down.
It turns out!
The choice of perfume depends on skin type and hair color. In dark-haired women, the skin is usually more oily and retains odors better. In blondes - more often it is dry, and aromatic substances quickly evaporate from it. Therefore, brunettes and brown women are better to choose a more spicy perfume, blondes - fresh, floral aromas.
Three cherished notes
For the first acquaintance with the scent drip a little perfume on the paper strip. Apply the second drop on the wrist, but do not rub it into the skin: this can change the fragrance beyond recognition.
The smell that you feel the very first, is called the top notes. It disappears very quickly - in just a minute. In contact with the skin, warming from it, the aroma opens even more, revealing its middle notes. Usually they are softer, they are also called the heart of the spirits. They hold for about an hour.
And finally, the lower, base notes appear. They are most important. This fragrance will be perceived all day by both you and the people around you. Therefore, do not rush to buy, and take a test stripe with perfume applied with you. Perhaps in two hours he will be displeased. So that your choice does not disappoint you later, you can also drop some perfume on your handkerchief and carry it with you, sniffing from time to time and checking your feelings.
Depends on the mood
Perfumers advise to have several flavors, at least - three: for different occasions and mood. Light and airy with invigorating citrus notes is good for morning hours, for work and business meetings. Musk, amber, fruit and spicy aromas, heavier, more intense - for evening hours, for romantic dates and trips to the theater. For example, such advice was given to women by a Russian perfumer, who worked for many years in the House of Chanel: “At night, use perfume with fruit flavors. They cause not only olfactory, but also taste sensations. Such fragrances turn a woman from a flower into an alluring, promising pleasure fruit. ”
Read the composition
Persistence and richness of flavor depends on the content of essential oils. Most of them in perfumes - from 15 to 40%. In perfumed water about 15% of aromatic compounds, and in toilet water - 10%. In cologne, usually from 3 to 8% of fragrance, and in an after shave tool, and even less - from 1 to 3%.
Fragrances from ailments: what smells stimulate and calm? Words and abbreviations on the label help:
perfume - parfum, PDT;
eau de parfum, EDP;
toilet water - eau de toilette, edt;
cologne - eau de cologne, EDC.
Of course, the more in the perfume of essential oils, the more expensive it is. However, if you are looking for the best value for money, you should stop the choice on eau de parfum.
If you buy fragrance for the first time, take a small package. If he does not disappoint you, then you can buy a bottle of larger volume.
We study the packaging
Before buying, carefully consider the packaging. It should indicate the country of origin, the list of ingredients, the percentage of essential oils and alcohol. The top cellophane packaging should fit snugly against the carton. Wrinkles and wrinkles on it may indicate that there is a fake handicraft in front of you.
It would not be superfluous to study the date of production of perfume. After all, he also has a shelf life. Usually - 1 year. Although unopened packaging keeps its fragrance unchanged for up to three years.
