How to Choose an Aroma: General Rules
Choosing a perfume that would suit your individuality may become a tedious task. Fashionable trends vary every season, changing from fever over natural scents to worshipping specific and clearly chemical perfumes.
Picking up a decent aroma is difficult, but there are some general rules you may still cling to when shopping for an ideal scent.
Firstly, it is useful to look through advertisements in magazines.
Of course, they cannot give you an exact image of how this or that scent would suit your style, but most ads contain explicit information on the particularities of the aroma. Thus, they will provide you with some hints to follow on your shopping tour. Secondly, it is recommended to choose an aroma which corresponds to your character. Psychologists say that this is our nature, not the looks, what the scents appeal to. The easiest way to distinguish between the psychologically suitable perfumes is to determine your type of character beforehand. Typically, optimistic and self-assured women prefer fresh aromas like citrus or fresh flower scents that help to keep you energetic throughout the working day. More modest and calmer introverts stick to oriental perfumes that make you observe your inner world and find solace in your own individuality. The third type unites emotional women who tend to express strong, vivid feelings. They are generally attracted by romantic flower scents. Of course, there is no good classification of human characters because every individual may comprise in his nature the traits of all the three groups described above. In fact, the choice of a suitable scent may depend on your current mood, on the situation and even on the weather conditions. For instance, specialists recommend using natural aromas in summer instead of bright and specific ones that may make an undesirable scent combination with sweat.
Whether to put some perfume on your wrist or to smell perfume-saturated tissues depends on your preferences. There is only one common counsel that is absolutely necessary to follow. Never choose an aroma that does not feel right to you, even if it is in fashion now. Our most valuable treasure is individuality, not fashion addiction.
