With well over 20 thousand ladies perfumes to choose from how is it possible to find a perfume from all of these that really suits you? The first and key thing you must decide upon is what sort of mood you wish to create. Because scents are very closely matched to emotions this is particularly important to decide upon.
The key areas are as follows: between the breasts, the sides of the neck, the base of the throat area, around the ankles and also behind the knees. There is something to keep in mind however – if you wear a pendant around your neck or a watch around your wrist the perfume can bring about a chemical reaction with the leather or metal material and discoloration can take place.
Classic – if you are troubled and confused by such a wide range of perfumes on offer, the safest thing to do is go for one from the classic range. The classics are those that have been around for a long time and are well-known and well respected. However, do not start to think because they have been around for a while that they are dull and old fashioned. Let’s face the facts here – how many times have mini skirts come into and gone out of fashion in the past 50 years or so? The point being that fashions come and go, just like the tide. But some fashions come back time and time and time again and never go out of style.
Thus the classic range of perfumes can match any occasion – the working day, a night at a restaurant with friends or family, a candle lit dinner with that special man – you get the point! One such classic perfume which has stood far more than the test of time is Chanel No.5. With a blend of rose, jasmine and ming its quietly sophisticated and thoroughly elegant and is among the all-time favorites without a doubt!
Delicate – as the name suggests here, soft and efiminate. For example you have Nina Ricci’s L’Air du Temps which has been around for a long time which consists mainly of carnation and gardenia, with a bit of rose, sandalwood and jasmine too. Also there is another Nina Ricci perfume which is much more modern – Premier Jour with its sugared almonds aroma. Another example is a Tommy Hilfiger perfume called Dreaming.
And one other thing, as we get older our sense of smell diminishes. In which case it certainly makes sense to keep to the rule of thumb that less is more. Its very possible that due to this dulling of the senses there comes the day that we apply far too much perfume in thinking that our previous application was not enough. We are then prone to leaving the house smelling like a perfume shop rather than an elegant lady!
