Choosing the Ideal Perfume

The choice of perfumes and scents seems to grow wider every day, as manufacturers fight for our attention and try ever harder to distinguish their offerings from the competition. With such a selection to choose from, how does one even begin to know where to begin when it comes to buying perfume?
Modern “cool” perfumes are becoming more and more popular, particularly among younger people who appreciate the intense but often quite uncommon scents, which instantly bring to mind seaside scenes. Naturally these are an excellent choice in the warmer months when thoughts turn to holidays.
Earthy or woody type perfumes evoke smells of the forest, and are usually very refreshing. They often tend to appeal to the older generation, and may make ideal gifts.
Oriental perfumes use strong spicy scents, and are best for special social occasions, but be cautious giving them to anyone you don’t know well – these intense perfumes can be a very personal choice.
Broadly talking, all perfumes fall into one of six different categories based on their dominant top notes. Different categories will suit different people or occasions.
Spicy fruity perfumes are also a good warm-weather choice, and can be a good all-round choice for the woman who wants to wear something with some traditional base-notes but is a little different to the classic floral scents, a perfect example of this is Euphoria Perfume by Calvin Klein .
The so-called “greens” are much lighter than the orientals, and are well suited to more casual wear. Because they make a less dramatic assault on the nose, they are also safer to give as gifts. Finally, those classic floral perfumes are suitable for nearly everyone and any occasion. But be wary of cheaper brands; this most feminine of all the main groups works best when the ingredients used are of high quality, and that means less expensive brands can smell exactly that.
Ultimately, choosing a fragrance is a very personal choice, and many women like to stick with what they know and purchase the same thing year after year. But by trying different perfumes from the same group as your favourite smell, you might just discover a new gem.
