I haven’t written for a long time about my favorite topic on which my soul rests)) – perfumery. The subject matter is so beautiful that even reading about it in general and about specific fragrances separately, I get pleasure, and looking at the incredibly beautiful bottles in which scents of the same incredible beauty are “hidden” and inhaling this variety, I get doubly pleasure.

And is it worth limiting yourself to narrow boundaries? Although once upon a time it seemed to me that there should not be many perfumes, there should be one, “yours”, and you are “recognizable” in it and this is the ideal))

But time goes on and changes, changing us at the same time, now I am quite satisfied with the variety of perfumes, because even the most favorite perfume does not get boring, no, it simply cannot be equally suitable for all seasons, for different events that happen in life, for your own mood, in the end...

So I propose that the goal is not to choose one scent, but to decide which scents from which group give the most pleasure, which notes are especially favorite and smell especially good on you, and, based on this, select more specific scents.

How to choose perfume for yourself

The first thing you should decide is which fragrances from which group do you like best, and which ones you don’t accept at all, if they exist, of course. There is an article on the blog about the division of aromas: in it I gave two classification options, of which I like the second one better.

According to this gradation, you can, moreover, determine which “direction” suits you.

Floral: floral-fruity is often chosen by cheerful, energetic women, while floral-aquatic is often chosen by amorous dreamers.

Citrus fruits are bright, cheerful aromas, suitable for the same cheerful connoisseurs of an active lifestyle.

Woody: warm and soft aromas suitable for a lady in business suit, so does the lady in evening dress. Their owner is distinguished by her loyalty to traditions.

Leather: chosen by self-confident women or those who want to appear so, women who have their own views.

How to choose a perfume scent depending on your skin type

But, no matter what we are advised virtually, no matter how many recommendations on choosing a scent we read, no matter how intoxicating the description of the pyramid of the scent we like seems to us, it is not a fact that on you it will reveal exactly these notes and will smell as breathtaking as it is written in description.

For myself, I have long understood that the main thing is what kind of skin you have, how it “receives” and in what form it “returns” odors.

I realized this a long time ago, because with regard to the “perception” of perfumes, my skin is very capricious, it doesn’t like everything, even complex wonderful aromas often smell like sweet, cheap caramel on me. Alternatively, the smell of “grandmother’s chest.”

I still couldn’t understand what kind of miracles were, why “delicious” in a bottle didn’t look like that to me, until I came across a good explanation about this, which I’m sharing.

Fragrances smell differently depending on the “temperature” of your skin.

It can be “normal”, let’s say “average temperature” (the definition is very arbitrary and has nothing to do with normal normal temperature body 36.6). There are very few owners of such skin, and these lucky women are suitable for almost any scent from all perfume categories.

The rest of the skin is either cool (more or less) or also more or less hot. It’s this “type” of skin that will determine which scent is most likely to be yours, and which one will smell completely bad.

Cool skin

The aroma develops on it for a long time, and the first notes of the perfume are heard longer than usual, up to several hours.

Therefore, it is important not to buy perfumes in which you are satisfied with the base, but do not like the first notes in the hope that they will quickly disappear. Top notes will be heard on you for a long time and will also irritate you for a long time.

How to spot cool skin. Its owners have:

Usually cold/cool hands, despite the weather and temperature around;

Low blood pressure;

They definitely prefer hot climates to cold ones.

Additional characteristics include the absence of a bright blush and the fact that the skin “reluctantly” tans.

I don’t quite agree with the signs of tanning, I definitely belong to those with cool skin, but I tan quite easily.

What will sound especially good on cool skin?

1. Since it makes almost any scent sweet, it is the unsweetened ones that will be especially beautiful on it: green aromatics, chypres, unisex, and, as an option, men’s perfumes.

2. Animalistic scents: civet, musk, leather and suede slightly lose their evocative notes on cool skin.

3. Citrus smells better than on hot skin.

4. Floral scents containing “bright” flowers: rose and tuberose, jasmine, lily of the valley, lilac... cool skin can restrain them and make them sound noble.

5. Aldehydes are perfume “synthetics” that smell beautifully on cool skin.

As the owner of such skin, I subscribe to each point; fragrances with these notes make it possible to feel the splendor of perfumes and enjoy “wearing” them.

What most likely won't work

1. Fragrances in the characteristics of which the word “sweet” comes first.

2. Those that are called “gourmet”, containing vanilla, honey, chocolate, caramel. It will be sweet, it will be simply delicious. But seasonings like pepper, on the contrary, can please you.

3. The smell of sweet fruits: peach, pineapple, apricots, they take a long time to reveal on such skin, becoming tasteless, sticky and unnatural.

4. Floral aromas of delicate flowers: iris, freesia, orchids. Their beautiful smell best case scenario will not open completely; at worst, it will be distorted.

Hot skin

Its owner is characterized by warm hands and blood pressure closer to elevated. The skin is usually thick and tans quickly.

This type is characterized by a very rapid development of top notes, the base becomes audible almost immediately, so when choosing, focus on it; if you like the base, then the aroma will not irritate you.

Most suitable notes

1. Sweet! The warmth of the skin removes their excessive sweetness.

2. Eastern. Incense, amber, patchouli, resins - on hot skin they open up beautifully, beautifully, completely giving themselves away.

3. Sweet flowers - linden, osmanthus, honeysuckle, cherry. Or tenderness - iris, orchid, on hot skin they show all their subtle beauty.

4. “Gourmand” scents are not suitable for cool skin. Caramel and vanilla will not smell like “kitchen”, but will become mysterious and attractive. Paradoxically, hot skin extinguishes the sweetness of these spices.

By the way, it is gourmet scents that are considered the most attractive to men.

5. Woody notes of sandalwood, guaiac wood, cedar, which hot skin helps to fully reveal, which cool skin usually cannot.

What is better not to use

1. Intensely fragrant flowers - rose, lily of the valley, jasmine - those that suit cool skin. They will smell too much - stuffy, oily, thick.

2. A men's perfume, perhaps unisex - the “masculine” notes may be too audible, which will make the smell rough.

3. Animalism, especially musk, which can give an unpleasant “stomach”, associations with dirty socks, mice, etc. Now there are synthetic musks that do not give such comparisons, but still, they also need to be tested first.

4. Powdery aromas of violet and iris “roots”. They become powdery on hot skin, giving off a “grandmother’s chest” look.

In general, something like this. Keep in mind that the skin can be very cold or very hot and then the above rules will be especially relevant. But it can only be closer to hot/cold, then there will be more options to choose from.

What else influences the choice of perfume is the hormonal background; it is known that it often changes, while changing your attitude towards the same aroma. It is believed that the hormonal background is most stable at the beginning of the cycle, and that is when it is worth choosing perfume.

Interestingly, there is a “fragrant” indicator to check how normal your hormonal levels are, such an indicator is orange blossom oil (neroli). If you don’t feel discomfort when inhaling it, then everything is fine with your hormonal levels)) if not, then the aroma of neroli will seem unpleasant to you.

A striking example of a perfume with neroli is “Chanel No 19” EDP from Chanel.

1. The blotter for testing perfumes must be “correct”. There should be no drawings or inscriptions on it, otherwise the alcohol and oils contained in the perfume will dissolve the paint and distort the smell.

2. You need to spray the perfume onto the blotter from a close distance, then wait about twenty seconds for the alcohol to evaporate.

3. While sniffing, move the blotter from side to side at a distance of a few centimeters from your nose. When inhaling the aroma from the test piece of paper, take short, careful breaths.

4. Coffee beans, usually offered in stores, do not help to “rest” from many odors. If all the smells are already merging into one, it’s best to go to fresh air for a few minutes and then start testing again.

5. Try to keep no more than two copies that you especially like, or even better, one that you apply to your skin to “live” with it and find out how well you suit each other. This rule is illustrated by the phrase of professor-perfumer Roger Dove: “The choice of fragrance is similar to When choosing a lover, to find out if you are truly suitable for each other, you must spend the night with him.”

In conclusion, the words that I really like were said by Serge Lutens, founder of the Serge Lutens brand, this is the answer to the question of how to choose a perfume scent, how to understand if it is your perfume:

“Very simple. One day he picked you out in a perfume boutique.”

The scent of a woman speaks about the owner without words. The aroma conveys her feelings, dreams, desires. “Perfume is the music of the body,” said Madame Rocha. They lift the veil of secrecy and make it possible to touch the thin canopy that hides the sensual soul from the world of conventions.

Perfume appeared in ancient times: in Ancient Egypt, India, Mesopotamia. They were used mainly for ritual activities. Loved aromatic compositions and essential oils in Ancient Greece and Rome - everything was for human pleasure. But perfumes found their real peak of popularity in France. Since the 17th century, scented water has become the only way to hide dirty body odor. This is where all the power of ingenuity lies. As centuries passed, hygiene became an obligatory part of the life of European people. Perfume has not lost popularity. The methods and secrets of the old masters are still used today.

Composition of aroma essence

Gives a state of bliss and sensual pleasure. It is not for nothing that incense is used in religious practices: the enchanting smell intoxicates the mind, relaxes, and puts one in a high mood. Three main ingredients are used to make perfume.

Aromatic concentrate

An aromatic concentrate is the basis of a perfume, a fragrant composition that contains from 15 to 60 aromatic components. For its production, plant and animal components are used. The former occupy the majority of the concentrate.

Plant components are made from leaves, flowers, fruits, roots. Some are turned into essential oils, others into “flower lipstick”, and the third are used in the form of infusions.
Animal ingredients help preserve odors longer. These include musk, amber, civet and castoreum. The presence of these components indicates the quality of the perfume. Sometimes natural essential oils are used to prepare new, synthetic fragrances.

Solvent

The second component is a solvent, also known as concentrated ethyl alcohol.

Water

The third component is water.

Dyes or antiseptics are often added to perfumes, which does not affect the smell.

Laws of perfume concentration

Dividing aromatic products into groups gives consumers the opportunity to make an informed choice and purchase a bottle with attractive contents. The choice of perfume is a whole science in which the result depends on a number of factors. Before going to the store, decide what time of day you are choosing the perfume for, how long it should last, what smell it should have: sweet, bitter, refreshing, invigorating or soothing.

The French Perfumers Association has developed a clear separation of fragrant liquids. Which category the mixture falls into depends on the amount of fragrant concentrate.

Undiluted essential oils. They have a concentrated odor and evaporate instantly. Extracted from plant components. Sometimes essential oils are used as perfume without additional mixtures.
In perfumes, the aromatic concentrate takes up 18-30% of the mixture. The scent lasts on the skin for at least 12 hours. On clothes made from natural wool until the next wash.
Eau de parfum contains 10-20% aromatic substances. The smell evaporates within 4 hours.
In eau de toilette, essential oils make up about 4-10%. This is a light perfume for daily use.
Cologne contains 2-4% aromatic substances and belongs to the men's perfume category.

Perfume, unlike other gifts of perfumery, reveals itself gradually. The first note that comes into play with your sense of smell is the “starting note.” Her life is short. After 10 minutes the aroma changes subtly, and after 30 it is replaced by a new one. Now comes the turn of the “heart note”. It reveals the true character of the spirits. The “heart note” scent lasts for about 12 hours. Then the "end note" comes into play. How long it will last depends on the durability of the scent and the material. Romantic gentlemen of the 18th century kept scented letters from their beloved women for years.

Aroma to taste

The art of perfumery is in great demand and is developing by leaps and bounds. Technologies change, synthetic components are created, odors become more complex. You won’t be surprised by the aroma of peaches when the freshness of the sea wind, the whisper of forest herbs, and the rustle of book pages are hidden on the shelves in the store, in glass bottles. For ease of selection and clarity, we will divide the abundance of odors into groups.

Chypre

This is the smell of the forest, with all its richness. What does wet stone, rain-soaked earth, sun-warmed grass smell like? He'll tell you about it rich collection chypre aromas. Perfumers divide the family into several subgroups.

The most common is woody smells. Initially, women took note. The smells of wood and moss were brightened up with subtle floral and playful fruit aromas, resulting in a daring but refined mixture. Such perfumes are suitable for brave and confident girls with a masculine character. Chypre perfumes often have an earthy scent made from wood moss.

A separate group includes leather chypres with a rough, smoky scent of leather and tobacco - this is the basis of masculine compositions. Created for women new group– green aromas. This includes the smells of forest herbs and freshness.

Chypre perfumes last a long time and have a special richness of aromas. This is perfume strong people, impeccable and collected. They reveal depth and mystery.

Fruit

Appetizing and carefree smells of fruits and berries. They invigorate and energize. Sweetish aromas are suitable for girls with mischievous sparkles in their eyes and young laughers. Sourish smells, with a hint of capriciousness - for ladies with a difficult character.

A separate group of fruit aromas is citrus, which includes the smells of not only fruit pulp, but also bitter zest.

Floral

The smells of fragrant inflorescences convey the infinite. There are gentle notes for vulnerable people, light compositions for dreamy young ladies, and mysterious shades for seductresses. You can choose the scent of a single flower or an intricate composition of the aromas of several inflorescences.

Oriental

Spicy smells of the east. Warm aromas, they warm, envelop you in a dense canopy. Oriental perfumes are mysterious, how dark eyes southern dark-skinned woman. Their smell awakens sexual energy, enchants, bewitches.

Ozone and oceanic

Artificially derived aromas. Ozone smells include the smell of a thunderstorm, evening coolness, morning freshness and dew, and clean mountain air. They are diluted with notes of mint, lavender, and herbs. Oceanic aromas are reminiscent of a fresh sea breeze and the coolness of mountain lakes.

In addition to the main groups, two more new, mysterious, with almost “magical” properties have emerged in perfumery.

Molecular perfume

This type of perfume appeared in 2006. What makes it unusual? Molecular perfumes are odorless while they are in the bottle. The aroma appears after contact with the skin. It has enchanting magic and attracts members of the opposite sex. These perfumes are suitable for both men and women. The scent that appears after application to the skin changes throughout the day, depending on mood, activity level, and time of day. It adapts to the unique biorhythms of a person and always reveals a new side. How many people - so many smells. With such perfume you will always be individual.

Perfume with pheromones

This miracle of perfumery was created in the 90s of the last century. The main task is to attract male attention. Pheromones are chemical substances. They are produced by human skin. Their concentration indicates readiness to create a pair and continue offspring. In women, pheromones are actively produced during the period of ovulation (2-3 days in the middle of the cycle), when the body is ready to conceive a child. Substances that are imperceptible at first glance are picked up by a man’s olfactory receptors, which send a corresponding signal to the brain. As a result, a woman looks more attractive to the stronger sex on a subconscious level.

Fully armed: the secrets of the perfect choice

Buying perfume is a delicate art. It rests on nuances. Choosing a scent is a sensitive and intuitive process. For your inner “I” to open up and point you in the right direction, use 6 tips who will tell you how to choose perfume and when is the best time to do it.

1. Disease does not come alone

Going to a perfume store with a stuffy nose is the same as trying on a new dress with eyes closed. The only advantage of such a trip: an excess of aromas or the strong smell of one of the masterpieces of perfumery will break through your stuffy nose.

The main enemy of olfactory receptors is drops. If the nose breathes with support medicine, the smell will escape you.

2. Morning is wiser than evening

Go for perfume in the first half of the day, while your nose is sensitive and your olfactory receptors are not tired of the abundance of smells.

3. No more than 4 flavors

The more you smell, the less you notice the aroma. If you don’t stop, the moment will come when the smells will merge into one obsessive illusion that will give you a headache. If you do not find a suitable option on the fourth try, postpone your search until another day.

To avoid being stuck in a perfume store for a couple of weeks, weed out unsuitable options right away. If you don’t want to inhale velvety but heavy oriental scents, don’t sniff. Sweet notes irritate you – don’t try them. Ask the consultant how the aroma is revealed, what components it contains, what group it belongs to. This will make your search easier and save time.

4. Monthly cycle

During menstruation, women perceive odors differently than on other days of the cycle. This is especially true for ladies. Wait until your hormonal levels return to a stable level, and then go searching.

Use a sampler.

Take your time to apply perfume to your skin. Use samples first. Sprinkle the strip with aromatic water and wait until the alcohol part evaporates. The sampler does not need to be kept far from the nose, but sticking into it is unnecessary. A distance of 3-5 cm is quite enough.

Take your time.

You should feel all three notes before purchasing. Apply a drop of perfume to the crook of your elbow and leave it on for a day. Listen to the smell, watch how it changes. If you like the aroma at all stages of development, feel free to take it.

Buy only the perfect perfume. If you're not sure, keep looking. Your scent will sink into your soul from the first moments, you will feel its attraction. Say a firm no to every “if.” . When the smell is dissonant with your mood, psychological discomfort will arise. Why would you spoil your mood?

Smell and type

After conducting research, experts divided girls into 4 types:

Spring ones are fair-haired, white-skinned, tender and blooming. Clear, clean scents with a simple perfume composition will suit them.
Summer girls are fair-haired, clear-eyed, ruddy. It is better for them to choose sweetish smells, bright and invigorating: fruity or floral.
Girls of the autumn type are dark-skinned and dark-haired, southern beauties. Tart and dense smells suit them.
Winter, dark-haired and fair-skinned girls will like refreshing, frosty scents.

Appearance is closely related to the psychological portrait of a person. Choosing perfumes according to this principle will give the image harmony and completeness.

Packaging and color

When purchasing perfume, pay attention to the integrity of the packaging. Scuffs and dents on the cardboard indicate improper storage and transportation of the product. Damaged boxes may contain counterfeit product. Manufacturers of high-quality perfumes monitor the attractiveness of packaging.

The perfume product is delicate and capricious. He is afraid of light and dampness, so perfume bottles should be stored in dark nightstands and not on bathroom shelves.

Competent packaging will tell about its contents: color, shape, font - the design solution tells customers what awaits them inside. Blue, blue, turquoise bottles hide fresh oceanic or ozone scents. Flower scent boxes often feature inflorescences. Strict masculine scents are designed laconically, stylishly in black and white. Light airy scents are hidden in elegant bottles. The complexity of the glass vessel indicates the amount of aroma concentrate and its value. Perfume and eau de toilette are placed in a simpler bottle with a larger volume. Perfume vessels are distinguished by a variety of shapes and sophistication of presentation.

The color of the liquid in the bottle will tell you about the composition. The dye does not affect the smell of the perfume, but manufacturers like to tint the fragrant contents of the vessel, awakening associations in the buyer’s head. So, light green speaks of a riot of greenery, forest herbs, lime. Brown is reminiscent of dark chocolate, smoky chypres. Pinkish is associated with berries and flowers, and yellowish with the sweetness of honey.

Now you are fully armed. Be inspired, be patient and experiment. A woman is a multifaceted creature, and her perfume collection is not limited to just one scent.

“Perfume is an invisible, but unforgettable, unsurpassed fashion accessory. It notifies you of a woman’s arrival and continues to remind you of her when she has left.”

Coco Chanel.

How to choose “your” scent? How is it different? eau de toilette from a perfume shop? Where should you not apply perfume? Why do some fragrances “suffocate” after application? The rules for individually choosing a perfume scent are very, very multifaceted. How not to go wrong with a scent? 5 tips when choosing perfume from CashFoBrands.

5 secrets for choosing perfume

1. There is a misconception that if the aroma ceases to be felt after application, then it is definitely “your” smell. This is wrong. If you stopped hearing the sound x after application, it means yours the body protects you from tiring odors so as not to overload the olfactory system.

2. If you are thinking about how to choose perfume, then it is best to do it in the morning, when the brain is not yet overloaded with other smells. In one trip to the store you can listen to several scents, apply the three you like most to the tester and only one- which one you like the most - apply on wrist.

3. Perfumers advise apply fragrance to certain areas “hot” spots on the body. These include the area in the neck near the artery, wrists, elbows, knees and shoulders.

4. It happens that after application the aroma “suffocates”. This is a physiological reaction: an allergy or vasospasm. If you really like the aroma, but there is too much of it, you can use a trick - Apply it to the area between the shoulder blades.

5. After applying the scent, many people begin to rub it. This is wrong. The alcohol should evaporate naturally - you need the stain from spraying the perfume to completely disappear. Only then, after about 20 minutes, can you listen to the aroma and distinguish its other notes.
