The quest to find the perfect perfume is one that can take many years.
Locating a fragrance that compliments your personality and social standing is not easy, but once it has been achieved your self confidence should grow immensely.
Picking a bottle of the latest designer scent is not hard, but it is unlikely to bring about the results that you desire.
Smelling like so many other women is not the way to go.
To turn heads for all the right reasons you should choose a fragrance that is attractive, original, and which in some ways matches your own outlook.
Whether you choose to wear a scent that is floral, spicy, or aromatic, there can be disastrous consequences if you were to drench your body in the fragrance, regardless of how attractive you believe the smell to be.
Leaving a cloud of vapor in your path is unlikely to win you admirers, it is politically incorrect to choke the nostrils of others just because you have overused your perfume.
It would be a mistake to have a one scent for all occasions approach to using a fragrance.
You should consider the nature of the occasion and choose a perfume accordingly.
When attending a business meeting, corporate event, or a high society party, consider adopting a sophisticated approach.
Choose a subtle scent that does not cause those around you to suffer any respiratory discomfort.
Stronger fragrances are best kept to nights out with friends, for example when going clubbing or visiting bars.
Consider that a strong scent can make you come across as brash and loud.
Splashing your perfume over your clothes is a big faux pas.
Those people who you greet physically would not want to be left with a constant reminder of your choice of scent for days after meeting you.
Your fragrance should be applied behind your earlobes, the sides of your neck, and on the top of your palms close to your wrist.
No matter how attractive you believe the smell to be, keep the spray far away from your nostrils.
Breathing in chemicals can cause irritation to the lining of your nose and throat, and result in burning being felt in these areas and also the sinuses.
Though you may have seen people in the movies rubbing their wrists together after applying perfume this is not a technique that you should copy.
If you were to do so you may end up reducing the overall effect of the fragrance you have chosen, especially its top layer.
