Choosing the Right Fragrance To Attract Women
29th Dec 2014
The Importance of Scent
Given that our sense of smell is one of the five senses, it should come as no surprise to learn that it is one of the most important factors when it comes to appealing to people of either sex. In fact, there are some studies that suggest smell can be even more important than visual factors such as looks, height, and weight for some people.
In main, the right smell can have one of two benefits. First, it influences a person's perception for the better, meaning that said individual becomes more positive towards the encounter. Second, smells are more memorable than either sights, sounds, or touches, meaning that positive impressions will become that much more powerful.
How to Choose the Right Fragrance
With that said, not smelling bad is not enough, which is where the use of fragrances for both men and women comes in. Here are some suggestions that can be used to choose the right fragrance:
- First and foremost, it is important to mention that most fragrances consist of multiple scents mixed together, each of which is called a note. Top notes are the scents that people smell first, but possess little lasting power. Once the top notes vanish, the middle notes emerge, followed in 20 to 30 minutes by the base notes. It is the potent combination of the middle and base notes that create the fragrance's theme.
- Furthermore, most fragrances can be classified under one of four families. In no particular order, said families are floral, fruity, spicy, and woody. Please note that both men and women can use fragrances belonging to each of these four families.
- You should choose a fragrance based on who you are rather than who you believe will be attractive to the other person. For example, if you are an energetic and enthusiastic person who likes to remain on the go, then you should choose a fruity fragrance that uses lots of citrus notes to produce a refreshing and invigorating effect. In contrast, go for either a spicy fragrance if you want to exude style and sophistication or a woody fragrance if you want to absolutely dominate the room.
- Of course, you should also choose something that you like, since you are the one who will be smelling it the most. Unfortunately, there is no better method for choosing a fragrance than smelling it in person, not least because no one reacts the same to the same scents. Worse, you need to set aside enough time in your schedule to accommodate multiple visits on multiple occasions. This is because fragrances tend to linger, meaning that you will be able to get an accurate impression of no more than one or two fragrances on each occasion. Since there are a lot of options out there, expect to spend a lot of time on this matter.
- That said, you should have more than one fragrance so that you can pick and choose for an effect that is better tailored to your surroundings. You can still choose nothing but fragrances that you like, but having a selection to work with makes it that much easier for you to avoid smelling like a one-note person.
- Finally, you should never hesitate to get the opinion of others when it comes to choosing the right fragrance. In particular, you should make as much use of the expert sitting behind the counter as possible, since his or her expertise will provide you with knowledge of options that you never knew existed. Likewise, telling an expert about the smells that you like can help to shorten your search by a considerable margin, which can serve to make an exhausting challenge that much more bearable.
Conclusion
Even put together, these suggestions make up no more than a short introduction to the fascinating world of fragrances. If you are interested in learning more about both the uses and the possibilities of fragrances, then you should not hesitate to get started as soon as possible. The more that you experience, the more capable you will become of choosing the fragrance that is right for both your needs and your preferences.
