Choosing a perfume is not that easy as one might think it is. You cannot simply choose a perfume that is being advertised or a perfume that your friend wears and wear it. It might not be the thing you need. A good perfume for you is the one that matches your personality and compliments your personal scent. Did you know that a perfume feels differently on different people? For instance, a perfume that feels nice on a person, might feel awful on another, as it mixes with the natural scent of each person giving a unique combination of scent, individual to each.

When it comes to choosing a perfume you have a great deal of aromas to contemplate: Floral, Oriental, Chypre, Green Marine, oriental and Fruit. These are combined and each perfume manufacturer adds some secret ingredients that make the perfume long lasting. The perfume has a concentration of alcohol that makes the scent last plus around 25% of essential oils. The perfumes also contain a fixative and the main ingredients which may be diverse plants: bay leaf, cardamom, eucalyptus, frankincense, geranium, iris, jasmine, lavender, lemon, lily, orange, patchouli, pine, raspberry, rose, sandalwood, vanilla, violet and ylang-ylang, bergamot, cedar wood, gardenia, magnolia and others. There are also animal scents used in the combination. These may be: male musk deer, ambergris, civet etc. However, when picking out a perfume these components should not be essential.

An important point is to feel the scent on your skin. Applying a bit of perfume on the back of your wrist and waiting for a few minutes will give you the first level of scent. If you like it, this is a good thing. Then, wait for half a day and see the mid level of scents, at the end of the day, you will be able to feel the core components of the perfume, so if you still like it, this means that you have found the right perfume for you. Don't buy the perfume without having worn it for one day beforehand.

Also, a good smelling perfume is not suitable for all occasions: you have to have at least two perfumes: one for casual use and one for evenings and special events. Casual perfumes for every day use are usually fresh perfumes, while evening perfumes contain floral scents and are heavier. And don't forget to check out the offer from the numerous perfume producers: Kenzo, Calvin Klein, Channel, Christian Lacroix, Guerlain, Lancèīme, Dior, Yves Saint Laurent, Estee Lauder, Cacharel and lots others.
