If you’re out on the hunt for some Calvin Klein, Lacoste or even Christian Bailey perfume, the chances are that at some point or another you’ll find yourself completely stumped on what is the right perfume to buy. That’s why we’ve come up with this guide on what you should look out for when out on the hunt for that perfect fragrance.
First of all, it’s always a very good idea to never try more than three perfumes or so within a short time period. Whilst they might all smell lovely after that point, the chances are they actually don’t! Because of the way that the body adjusts to strong smells, you will actually become insensitive to different smells after a while, meaning that you’re essentially shopping blind! Think of it like trying to pick out individual string quartet instruments after sitting behind a drummer for three hours. Needless to say, the best solution is to try out two or three, then go away and try out more later on if necessary.
Another thing to bear in mind is that you should always leave at least a minute between the perfumes making contact with the skin, and deciding whether they actually work for you. This because although the perfume might smell marvelous when it’s in the air (or even on your friend), the effect will actually be significantly different when it meets the skin. This is because your skin actually has a completely different scent, all of it’s own. Nice, huh? Completely true, however! Leave it a few minutes before rushing out to buy, otherwise you might be confronted with a smell that’s rather unpleasant once you’ve had it on a few hours!
Overall, it’s very important to ensure that you take the time to invest in perfume that’s almost a signature. Whilst it might seem pretentious to say so, you’ll find it’s easier than you think!
