It is needless to quote the presence that a lady’s fragrance has in making her what she is. One could say it is almost like one’s signature which speaks volumes about the person that you are and the air you carry about yourself. A fragrance can tell you so much about a person and can make someone come near or drift away from her. Hence, it becomes imperative for us o pick the right scent, a scent that describes in totality and in which lies the true expression of our persona.

Today the markets are loaded with hundreds of fragrances that line the shelves leaving us clueless about what to pick and what not. Some of us may also be fascinated by the scents celebrities launch every season but once again their number is so huge that it seems an ocean full of jewels to choose from. Today we also have stores giving us the liberty to customize our own scents and prepare our own blends.

Okay let’s talk about scents now!

Fragrances come in a vast horde of concentrations that range from light and airy to bold and sassy. This fragrance may be a part of oils, eau de perfumes, eau de toilettes and colognes and perfumes. So don’t think that only perfumes render you your fragrance. It is your choice of all the said things here that make-up to determine the scent that you carry.

Well the key to find the right fragrance whether it be in the form of sprays, mists , solids or liquids, lies in identifying what is known as the ‘notes’. Every fragrance has its own notes which decide the quality of the scent it emits. These notes are in layman terms referred to as layers.

The top layer is responsible for the overall impression of the scent. In other words, this is what decides the general impression of the scent at the first sniff. Most women decide their choice of fragrance based on this only. And this layer is what attracts a man to you in just the few seconds you come in touch with him whether it be moving past someone or exchanging a greeting. So we can say that the first notes that make up a fragrance are usually strong but evaporate quickly and often include the citrus scents.

Women should generally avoid wearing too loud fragrances on a daily basis. Such a thing often ends up having an opposite effect on those around and you may drive away even your allies away from you because of this. Mild fragrances which emit fruit or flowery scents work best for women working because it casts a lingering effect as you move around people. Since it is not too loud, people love to experience it and gradually you’ll start being identified with it. On the other hand if you are going out for an evening, then there’s a special range which caters especially to this. Reach for brands that are known for their line of fragrances in different products such as Elizabeth Arden and the like. Always keep in mind that even if the fragrance is strong, it should be repulsive in nature. In that case just a tiny dab behind the ears or on wrists make up for the entire evening.

The thumb rule when it comes to perfume is that it should give its scent and simultaneously never be enough for those around. They should feel like coming to you again and again and then be left wanting for more the moment you get the feel of it. Hence it is all about casting your magic subtly!
