subject: The Subtle Art Of Perfume [print this page] Our olfactory senses go gaga everyday with every new smell that comes along and enters our senses. With every new smell that we go through a whole new world can be opened up to us without us having to do anything. The simple smell can remind us of waves beating against the sand when we might be miles away from any beach. A simple smell can take us to a field with recently cut grass and wild flowers. Yes, our senses go crazy with every new experience and with the help of perfume we can receive new smells all day long for as long as we require. There are many different perfumes out there with many different elements of smell that can take us away from wherever we possibly could be at that time, and it is a perceptive art indeed
When you are having a bad day and you just want it to be over, a spray of the right perfume can cheer you up and anyone else around you. The right smell can make you forget all about the problems that you might be having and take you away somewhere else that you never thought you could go. The problem a lot of us have though is finding the right type of fragrance for certain occasions and situations. There are so many choices out there that it can almost seem like an impossible task finding the right one or just one that suits your personality. While you may think you have found the perfect scent, if it does not suit who you are and your natural smell then it s not right for you or what you want it for.
We all have a raw scent, our own individualized perfume if you will and when we want to cover it up we have to make sure we get a perfume that is complementary to our own scent and that it does not react in a negative way. If we have a modest natural scent then you want something that is not going to be to potent that it will overpower us and everyone else around us at the time. If we have a strong scent then we want something that does not necessarily cover up our smell but something that goes along with our scent to make something new and breathtaking.
Each different fragrance has different purposes and requires us to make sure we have picked out the right one for the right function. Some perfumes are meant for the nightlife and should only be used in that situation, the smell can be so overpowering that surrounding people dancing and having a good time should be the only time it is used. A sweetish, natural smell can be used if you are going to work or meeting up with friends in a everyday situation. A somewhat strong smell that when you experience it makes your senses awaken can be used when meeting someone new or going out on a date. They'll always remember you and the scent that you were wearing that night.
The powerful perfume can work for you in so many different ways that you're not even aware of it. To determine the right scent though can mean that you may have to sniff a lot of perfume bottles along the way to find the correct one. Always take a friend along with you and ask them what that smell makes them think of. If it's something good then kudos, if not, then keep searching until you find the waves crashing against the land.
