Fragrances and perfumes are not only a stylish statement; they have also become an inherent part of a person’s character and personality. Many people like to be known or are known by the perfume they wear and so you know. In the past perfume was worn in accordance with skin and hair types and nowadays anyone can wear a fragrance they like and they don’t have to worry about it.

When your sense of smell has been distorted by the various other smells like food for example, it can affect your judgement. The best time to shop for womens fragrances and perfumes is when you can avoid shopping for perfumes if you are too tired or have a cold or fever, the congestion in your nose will prevent you smelling what the perfume truly smells like. If you are already wearing perfume, do not spray a new perfume over the existing perfume when purchasing a new fragrance as you get the mixture of smells and you may not be able to tell the difference. To test the perfume, spray it on a part of the skin that is clean. In order to figure out which perfume suits your taste you need to spray a little on the inner wrist. In order to define the actual smell of the perfume, it is better to spray it directly onto the skin as opposed to spraying it on paper. The top brands are not always necessarily the right perfumes for you. It doesn’t matter if all of Hollywood is using a specific brand of perfume; the perfume may not smell good on your skin and that is a reality you have to accept. Spray the perfume and wait for at least half a minute, this is the time taken for the alcohol to evaporate and only the fragrance is left behind. Only then can you smell the perfume and know if it is suited to your personality and your skin type. Remember that the perfumes are extremely flammable and they will evaporate quickly if they are left out in the open and it won’t last that long. Perfumes that are oil based are the perfumes that last much longer, but they are often more expensive.

When testing perfumes, it is always good to try out only three different fragrances at a time; otherwise you will numb the smelling senses when you test a series of fragrances all at one time. Also avoid spraying the perfume into the cap or bottle top, as you will mainly only get the smell of alcohol and a little of the perfume.
