10 things that one must know about perfumes
10 things that a woman must know about her perfumes
- Personality traits: Wear a perfume according to your personality. Notes of jasmine, vanilla and sandalwood are all oriental fragrances -a lingering, passionate scent that embodies grace and the feminine; much like ALL GOOD SCENTS’s fragrance Evoke. On the other hand, notes of plum, apricot and rose like the perfume Lolette, define the naughty and sensual side to you.
2. Buying a perfume: Don’t just buy a perfume because your friend owns it and you liked the fragrance. The same fragrance may smell differently on different individuals. Test the fragrance on yourself before buying. You can get an idea of ‘your fragrance’ from TryKaro scent collection.
3. Perfume contents: Read the ingredients label before buying a perfume. The oil content in a perfume determines how long the fragrance will last. More oil means a stronger and a long lasting fragrance. Perfumes have the highest oil content, followed by Eau de Parfums and then Eau de Toilette. ALL GOOD SCENTS’s ‘Love and Joy’ and BVLGARI’s ‘Jasmin Noir’ is an ideal example of Eau de Parfum, while ALL GOOD SCENTS’s ‘Tender’ and Calvin Kein's 'Sheer Beauty' Eau de Toilette.

4. How to wear the fragrance: To maximize the smell of your perfume, concentrate on pulse points. Apply on wrist, curve of your arms, the nape of your neck, on your cleavage and even behind the knees. A light mist of fragrance through the hair can also be applied. The perfume tends to react with the natural fluctuations in the body temperature and emits scent throughout the day without it being overwhelming.
5. For a long lasting effect: Before wearing a fragrance, moisturize the area properly. Perfumes diffuse well when applied on moisturized skin, and hydrated skin ensures that the fragrance lasts longer.
6. Seasonal Perfumes: Citrus/aquatic fragrances work well during the summers keeping you smelling fresh and lively throughout the sweltering day. The ALL GOOD SCENTS Eau De Toilette ‘Chic’ and DAVIDOFF’s ‘Cool Water Wave’ , is a marvelous summer fragrance. While vanilla and spiced oriental scented perfumes work best for those chilly winters.
7. Perfume & Jewelry: Keep your jewelry and clothes far from perfumes. Do not spray it on your jewelry, especially on pearls as it tends to lose color and shine.
8. Never over-spritz: Your nose gets used to your signature fragrance, and you can only smell it when it’s first applied or when you consciously pay attention to it. So, never over-spritz for the sake of those around you.
9. Be patient while buying: The base notes of fragrances take about 30 minutes to appear. It is best to spray first, wait for the base notes to settle down to that perfect fragrance that you are looking for and then buy. Best option is to try the fragrances first and then decide to buy.
10. Storage: Always store your perfumes in a cool and dry place.
Happy Trying :)
