Mistakes when choosing a perfume: what are they and how to avoid them?
We are convinced that the choice of “your" perfume should be approached as responsibly as choosing, for example, a perfectly fitting little black dress. Perfume can be an extremely desirable gift, and just after all, the sight of beautiful bottles on the dressing table is extremely pleasing.It is quite easy to make mistakes in choosing a perfume.In this article, we will talk about the most common mistakes that girls make in the process of choosing “your” scent, and how to avoid or fix them.
Mistake #1. Hurry when buying.
In any case, the selection of perfume is something that is done with sense, feeling and arrangement. When you want to buy perfume, cologne or eau de parfum, do not rush to buy as soon as you smell it. In fact, even a perfume that you liked on the blotter can be seriously disappointing after applying it to your skin. It is best to try the fragrance you like on the wrist or elbow joint (on the inner crease). During the day, listen to the aroma of the applied perfume several times. Ideally, before buying a full-size bottle of perfume, you should buy a miniature, a sampler, or a casting: and distribute the fragrance for several days, at different times of the day and in different weather. Then your idea of the flavor will be really accurate.
Mistake number 2. Not taking into account your age.
Perfume is your fragrant “face” and it will be rather strange if the fragrant “face” does not match the real face. As a young girl or young man, refrain from strong, powerful perfumes. A complex heavy aroma on you will be at least inappropriate and also alien. Powerful notes of amber, musk – all this should be postponed for a decade, or better – two. If you are young, then you should look at fairly light, perhaps citrus scents.
Mistake #3. Strive to buy only one perfume – once and for all.
Ideally, there should be a lot of perfumes. It is best when you have at least two perfumes in your arsenal: for work during the day and for going out, and ideally four for each of the seasons. However, this number can tend to infinity, you can choose a comfortable number of perfumes for yourself. But there is a perfume for every occasion. It’s clearly not worth it for a birthday, anniversary or wedding to wear the perfume that you wear every day to the office. The only perfume is good only for one factor: you will be strongly associated with others only with this fragrance.
Mistake number 4. Choose a perfume based on its price.
When choosing a perfume, you should not rely only on its cost. You can very much miscalculate in this and then bitterly regret. Not always a good discount suggests that this perfume is a must-have. At discounted prices, avant-garde (not very popular) perfumes are often offered, which can confuse you with the smell of freshly cut grass or sweet cappuccino. However, too expensive perfumes of well-known brands are not always well made: and this should also be taken into account. With them, you also need to keep in mind that you are paying a fairly tangible fraction of the price for a big brand name. Do not disdain budget brands: after all, quite often eminent perfumers collaborate with them too.
Mistake #5. Knowingly buy fakes.
In our imperfect world, many products are not authentic, as the manufacturers intended them to be. In the field of perfumery, this is especially common. It is very important to buy exclusively original perfumes: this is the only way you can be absolutely sure of their durability, quality, and in general, such fragrances are always much more pleasant to use than fakes. And yet, fake perfumes spoil quite quickly.
Mistake #6. Buy perfumes online.
Here, no comments. We encourage you to buy perfumes exclusively after a personal test in the store. Firstly, keep in mind that reviews can be promotional, and secondly, even if they are absolutely honest, keep in mind that a person on the other side of the monitor can have a completely different skin type, lifestyle, and style in general. Personal tastes also need to be taken into account, and they are always absolutely individual for everyone.
