How to choose right perfume

This post is based on how to choose and find a right perfume for yourself and what fragrance suits your body odor.

You may think buying a perfume is as simple as selecting a smell that you like. However, perfumes have an emotional impact as well. They can have a significant impact on your mood, and the mood of those you come into contact with.

One reason for this is that our olfactory senses are very closely connected with the areas of our brain that process memories and emotions. Put simply, a scent can evoke the emotions felt the first time you smelled it.

However, many scents have an almost universal impact. Aromatherapy is based around this, but perfumes have a similar impact. The new perfume line by Francesca dell’Oro is a great example of this. The three perfumes in the collection were created specifically to evoke certain moods and emotions.

Scents and Emotions Evoked

If you want to choose and find the right perfume for your mood, the best way to do so is to know the feelings and emotions that the scents in the perfume evoke. Here’s a look at some of the most common scents used, and the emotions associated with them.

When looking through this list, it’s important to keep a few things in mind. First, perfumes have a top, middle, and bottom note. The first note will fade away first, while the bottom note will last the longest.

Secondly, perfumes will contain many different scents. However, you should notice a theme when looking at the scents contained that gives you an idea of the mood and emotions that it will evoke.
