Choice of different types of perfumes |
|---|
Choice of Different types of perfume suit different personalities and different occasions. The selection of what is the most suitable perfume for a particular person is very much a matter of personal preference and taste, depending on her life style and the circumstances in which she will be wearing it, but the trained consultants who serve behind most perfume counters will be able to give helpful assistance in making a choice. It should be remembered that perfumes can change with the body chemistry of an individual, so what is entirely satisfactory for one woman may not last so long on another and may even smell rather different. It is advisable to try out a perfume by choosing one of the lighter concentrations, such as the cau de cologne, applying it to the pulse points on the wrist. It should not be rubbed into the skin, as that can impair the fragrance. It should be worn for at least an hour and preferably longer, so that the top, middle and lower notes in it will have time to unfold. If it is still found to be pleasing after that time then it is suitable.
Body temperature affects the chemical balance of the skin and can change the character of a perfume, so a scent should not be chosen immediately after hard exercise or when a woman is feeling out of sorts and is possibly running a temperature.
If more than one perfume is being tested then the lighter one should be tried first and samples should be sprayed as far apart on the skin as possible (on the other wrist, and then, perhaps, on the top of the arm).
