Top perfume facts that you probably don?t know yetPosted by mukesh yadav on August 31st, 2018 Whether it is a family function, a friend’s marriage or any casual event, we all love to wear perfumes. It makes us feel confident, luxurious and empowering. You buy a perfume and say “wow what a fantastic smell “ or receive compliments like “ oh! You smell nice”, but we don’t usually take a step further and understand perfumes. Most of the time, the perfumes are recommended by someone or we get inspiration from others who smell incredible. But, a perfume is a personal choice and it should be unique and distinct from everyone. There are several other perfume secrets that you might not know and we believe these top perfume facts will surprise you:
Yes, you read it right. A perfume is made up of a combination of three notes namely top note, middle note and base note. Each of these notes gives out distinct aroma. The fragrance scent is different from the time you apply and when it finally fades away. Next time when you drape yourself with the best perfumes, do not forget to sniff the changing scent of your perfume. We have somehow learned to spray the perfumes on our shirts. Two spritzes of perfume on your underarm don’t make any sense. Actually, to make it more effective you should use it on your pulse points like wrists and neck. The heat generated at these points helps the perfume scent to release in the air. Also, do not rub the perfume on your skin; this will break the perfume compounds.
Have you come across any instance when a certain fragrance worked really well for your friend but not on you? If yes, note these points:--The fragrance scents combine with your skin type, body odour and sweat- Did you know the pollution can significantly alter the smell of a perfume?-Many perfume molecules behave differently in seasons like winter and summer-If these points are not shocking enough, the food that you eat can drastically change the effect of a perfume scentAll these factors affect the scent of a perfume. Next time you feel envious of your good smelling friend, do not blame perfumes.
There is a lot of confusion on whether perfumes have gender. The truth is it doesn’t have one. It is generally accepted that certain perfume scents like floral, fruity are liked by women and some others like woody and musk are for men. Things are changing now as more and more perfumes are unisex in nature and people just use the scents of their liking. So, the “perfumes for him” type fragrances are left only in perfume company brochures.
As mentioned in the first point, the perfumes are layered. Therefore, when you test a scent and sniff your wrist, do not hasten your decision. Wait for few minutes to let the perfume dry and sniff again to smell the real perfume scent that will last long. This will help you better understand the scent that you are wearing. This will also help you impress others with your knowledge of perfumes and perfume notes. You probably bought perfumes but never looked at the labels which mention the perfume type.
