Finding
the right fragrance for oneself can
be a bit confusing as there is no dearth of fragrances available in the market
these days. A perfume that a person decides to wear is a personal choice which
can be different from that person’s friend or anyone else in the family or his
social circle. A lot of factors contribute the choice of perfume that one makes
such as whether the fragrance that one wears wins compliments or critical
appraisals, whether the perfume can be worn on regular basis or confined to
special occasions or the fragrance is worth purchasing again.
Perfume
descriptions are useless for determining whether a smell suits a person or not.
Some scents have what fragrance experts often refer to as "monster
sillage" and some are so low-key they're almost tailless. The desirability
of one or the other depends largely upon the personality of the wearer. If a
person arms him or herself with proper knowledge, then shopping for the right
fragrance won't be such a daunting task.
Fragrance Families
Fresh Fragrances:
Fresh fragrances usually include “green
“notes, associated with outdoor vegetation and that feeling of freshness.
Typically green fragrances include anise, fennel, lavender and basil among
which Basil is considered the most widely acknowledged green fragrance. If you simply
love the outdoors then fresh fragrances are an ideal option for you.
Floral Fragrances:
Counted among the most popular of all fragrance categories, floral scents encompass myriads of
options ranging from a single rose petal to an assortment of floral bouquets.
These essential oil fragrances have stronger notes even when mixed minimally in
a concoction of natural oil.
Woody fragrances:
The woody scent is sinfully
indulgent as you just cannot get enough of it. Also called Oud, Agarwood woodyscents are hard to replicate. Many masculine fragrances fall into this
category, given the richness of woody scents.
Fragrance Personality
The
tedious task of deciding upon the best fragrance for oneself can be made easy
by previewing the list of fragrances that correspond to particular personality
traits of a person.

lighter fragrances and not sniffing more than three fragrances at a time to avoid
confusing your senses.
