Choose a perfume for woman

Choosing a perfume, whether you are a man or a woman, is something quite complex and delicate. Far from being a simple superficial accessory, the perfume will function as a mirror of the personality of the person who wears when it is chosen with care. It is therefore important for a woman to find her own style of perfume.

Finding your olfactive family

You might like to change your scent according to the season, your style, or your mood. However, it can be interesting to know the olfactive family to which you belong to in order to be sure to orient yourself towards fragrances that correspond to you. Here are the different olfactive families a perfume can belong to:

 

Choosing a signature perfume for women

You may be looking for your signature scent, a fragrance that will match your identity, and that will accompany you on a daily basis, leaving an olfactory imprint of your presence in memory of your loved ones.

In this case, you will have to test several different perfumes, until you find the one that will touch you the most and will give you a sincere powerful emotion. The fragrances that mark us most are generally those that echo our olfactory heritage, which is the sum of all the scents and flavors recorded in our life. A carefully chosen signature perfume will strengthen self-confidence.

If you plan to buy your perfume in a store, tell the advisers whether you prefer a discreet perfume or a scent with a strong, powerful and persistent trail.

If you are looking for something innovative and a little avant-garde, you might enjoy wearing unisex fragrances, even masculine fragrances. Indeed, the fragrance goes beyond genre, and the main thing is that the fragrance gives you a powerful emotion. In addition, the perfume varies according to each person, it is not unlikely that a masculine perfume will become more feminine on your skin.
