How To Choose The Right Perfume

Smell is arguably the most powerful of our five senses. A whiff of baking bread can transport you back to playing in Grandma’s kitchen as a child, while a waft of perfume may bring on nostalgia for a long-lost lover.

Your own scent is also a personal signature that influences how you feel about yourself and interact with the world, and your perfume becomes an extension of your personality that others remember you by.

Therefore, when choosing a perfume for yourself or a loved one, it’s very important to get it right. But finding a fitting fragrance can be a daunting task, so where do you begin?

Start by thinking about what kind of smells you like, and let them serve as inspiration. Perhaps you like deep coffee tones, or light citrusy or floral notes; use that as the basis of your search.

Next, you should think about where you are going to wear it to make sure it’s an appropriate choice for that environment. For example, a strong, sexy scent may not be fitting for an office setting.

You should also think about what you want your perfume to say about you. Bear in mind that smell and memory are inextricably linked, so consider whether you want to make a strong statement or if it’s just for you; this will help you find the right intensity.

Always sample a perfume on your skin for at least 4 hours to reveal its true scent on you. The final fragrance will depend on your body chemistry, diet, hormones, and even environmental factors.

Once you’ve made your choice, it’s worth investigating replica perfume companies who copy popular designer fragrances. At Krill Fragrances, we believe that the joy of a high quality perfume should be inexpensive and accessible to all.
