Why Use Perfume?
If you want to inspire, delight, and arouse people's sense of smell and thereby other desires of the human body, perfume is one of the most sensual ways to do so. All over the world people have found that specific scents will attract and arouse them while other scents completely turn them off. Many people have had the experience of walking into a room where someone is wearing a strong smelling perfume and they have either gotten a headache and felt nauseous or have been drawn in by the pleasantness. If you are going to properly utilize perfume you need to understand how to use it and apply it.
The Right Perfume For You
Not all scents are right for every person and that is the first and most important lesson to learn. Even the most expensive products will only smell their best on certain people. A person needs to take time to explore what scents are best with their body chemistry and with the desired effect of the perfume. Scents that are intended for everyday use are much different than those that are meant to tantalize and lure in a lover.
Perfume counters at department stores are great places to smell and sample different products before buying them. A person should take the time to smell all types in the bottles and find scents that are pleasing to them. Try on several different scents over a period of days to find out which one smells best on you.
Perfumes come in many different types and you should learn to identify them by the label. Learn the categories and it will help you eliminate the ones you don't like. Some scents are floral, some are woody, some are blended and so forth. By determining what type of scent a person wants and defining what the different perfumes are a person can quickly eliminate many products. The counter attendant will be very helpful in your search for the perfect perfume if she knows that you are serious and after seeing you there a few times in a row she will be smart to give you the help you want.
The Application
Learning to apply the perfume that you have decided on is another important factor that people often forget to think about. It is important that a perfume be subtle and not overpowering. People who pass by should get a whiff of the pleasant smell and not be overcome by the odor. Remember that if all they remember about you is your overpowering perfume, then your scent did not do the job! Applying a dab of fragrance to the pulse points of the wrists or neckline has always been a popular use. Others choose to spray the scent in the air and walk through so that they have a total body application. For the woman who is intent on seduction a dab of an alluring scent in the bodice area is very effective. Some scents work well when sprayed over the hair allowing them to be more true to the original scent and not mixed with the perspiration and musk of the individual. Do not rub it into the skin. Instead, dab it on the intended areas gently.
It is important that the wearer not mix the scent with other lotions, shampoos and powders that have their own odor. These products should all be used in the unscented varieties or in the same scent as the perfume. Caution always needs to be taken to make sure the scent achieved is simple and desirable.
When you wear perfume you do not need to be that elevator person that has people jumping out of the elevator early to take the stairs. Choose a scent that is suited for the occasion. Perfumes for everyday use should be subtle and gentle. And remember that just because you don't smell it anymore doesn't mean that others can't.
