Above all, our smell is one of the most powerful symbols of human identity.
According to research, the smell of the Human
body is a unique identifying feature of an individual. In an ideal world, a signature scent serves as a personal scent memory to cherished friends and loved ones.
Perfumes, colognes and artificial fragrances are known as agents that help modify and amplify the body’s distinctive
smell. They can also either make or mar this auditory aspect of an individual’s lifestyle. For this reason, one needs to be careful in selecting the right fragrance that complements one’s personality.
Here are some of the tips you can employ.
Depending on a single fragrance may not achieve the effect you aim for, it’s better to combine different variants from a particular brand. Combining varieties of a brand is easier compared with doing so for different brands. When bottles get exhausted, you can easily track down your choice variety. More often than not, not all stores stock up on all the different brands available, and this can pose a difficulty in making a purchase. To achieve the right effect, you can layer off fragrance families such as woody, floral, fresh and citrus as they go well together.

Buy Perfumes From Stores With Samples
Do not “blindly” buy perfumes from stores without samples or testers. Most times the inscription of the type of fragrance on the perfume may be too harsh or light for the nose. For example, buying a perfume that indicates citrus on its container, may be something else and you may not know this if not tested at the store before the purchase. Getting samples and testers allow you a hint of what you will get at the end of the day.

Always Have A Substitute Brand

Never Buy Out Of Necessity
Do not buy perfumes in a rush. You might fall victim to the wrong brand or the worst fragrance. This could be a nightmare, affecting your esteem, ruffle your composure, and constitute a complete waste of money.
Note that in an attempt to make a good choice of a brand, it is very crucial that you place quality above cost. So long as it blends perfectly with your game, grab it. Most times, we are not only addressed how we dress, but also how we smell.
