Finding a good perfume can be difficult. Some people might like the fruity and sweet smells that are most common in perfumes today, but for others, it’s all about the musk – or even just a floral scent. And then there are those who can appreciate both sweet and musky scents. However, at some point in your life you’ll probably find yourself becoming bored with your favorite perfume because it has run out of fragrance and life. You’ll need to find a new scent that suits you and can match your lifestyle. Choosing the right perfume isn’t an easy task, but we’re here to help.
We have put together 7 features that you should look for in a good perfume.
1. Scent
As mentioned above, it really does depend on your taste whether you prefer fruity or floral scents or something musky or woody. If you ask us, there is nothing better than a woody smell on a man! The perfect smell should be able to fit perfectly into your life– not too strong but not too weak. It should always be there, but won’t overpower the people around you either.
2. Ease of application
Perfume is also very personal. Some might like their perfume to be sprayed all over the body, while others prefer to spray a bit of the fragrance on their wrists or behind the ears. There’s no right or wrong way to wear perfume, but there are certain ways that you can apply make-up in order to maximise its effect. If you apply make-up in such a way that it will be easy for people to notice, it will also be much more stunning when you wear your new fragrance!
3. Mood and lifestyle
Everyone has their busy days and relaxing days, and it’s important that your perfume matches your mood. For example, if you have a big day to do at work, whether you’re starting a new job or preparing for an interview, then applying a musky perfume will help give you confidence. On the other hand, if you want to relax after a hard day it’s probably better to stick with something soft and fruity.
4. Fragrance strength
A good perfume should be able to last for at least 12 hours. Also, it shouldn’t be too strong or too weak. You want to be able to smell your perfume from a long distance and not have to walk over and sniff you. That being said, it’s not the same as when you go into a perfumery and ask for the most expensive bottle!
5. Who’s in the fragrance?
When thinking about who should you get perfume for, we always think about the person wearing it. Have you ever thought about who is behind that perfume? The person who makes your favorite scent is almost as important as wearing your own perfume! So think carefully about what makes them happy and give them exactly that feeling with their very own scent!
6. Price and price
We have all heard of the expensive fragrances that are extremely popular – but are they really worth the price? There is no satisfying answer for this question. If you love a perfume, whether it’s something you can buy for as little as 1 euro or something that costs hundreds, you should wear it. The only thing to keep in mind, is that sometimes decent perfumes sell for a fair price!
7. A true favorite
When it comes to finding a new aroma and making sure it’s a true favorite, there are two tips you should use: always buy small bottles, especially if you haven’t tried something before and ask around who knows your taste well. We bet that if you ask your friends what they think of your favorite perfume, they’ll be able to recommend something that they think you’ll also love.
Conclusion
Finding a great perfume can be a challenging task. At the same time, it’s an important part of your lifestyle and one that you should take into account when purchasing something new.
