The Best Perfume For You [By: Ursula McLean]

The same perfume can smell different on two different people. Does your perfume really fit you well?

You may have been wearing perfume for a very long time or have just decided to try out wearing perfume for a scent that fits you well. How do you find a perfume that will work well for you among the thousands and thousands of various perfumes out there? Do you want a citrus scent? Do you want a flowery perfume? Should you use a perfume spray, lotion or a solid? Would a musky scent be best for you?

What kind of perfume would be best for you? There are so many different kinds of perfume out there, so many different brands, so many different styles, and so many different types of perfume out there to choose from. You will not be dizzied by the perfume aisle any longer after reading this article. You can walk down that aisle with confidence to choose the best perfume for you.

You may have smelled your co worker’s perfume and tried it for yourself only to find that it smells amazing when they wear it, but awful when you do. I would say that it is not you, but it is. We are all different in so many ways. Our body’s natural scents will mix with the perfume and that is the scent that is created. Unfortunately, you may have found out the hard way by buying some perfume that smelled delicious on your friend only to find out it makes you stink. No worries, though. Now you know that you need to find the perfume that works with you! So, in order to find the perfume that would most likely smell the best on you, you need to find a perfume with a particular scent that works well with your own smell to create the scents we dream of. So, here is a list of common and natural body smells and which types of perfumes work the best with them –

If Your Smell Is Neutral: If your natural scent is neutral you are a very lucky person when it comes to finding the best perfume for yourself. You can choose just about any kind of perfume you want to. Since you already smell neutral your perfume won’t have a weird reaction with your body’s smell. So, go out there and try some out!

If Your Smell Is Sweet: If you smell buttery, milky or powdery your smell is sweet. You should stay away from any perfumes that also smell sweet because it will just become overpowering. Try perfumes that smell like flowers, but keep it light.

If Your Smell Is Floral: If you smell like a bouquet of flowers maybe you do not need perfume! I’m kidding, of course. Go for the citrus smelling perfumes because they will compliment your smell the best.

If Your Smell Is Smoky: If you smell a bit like wood that has been burnt you will want to go for perfumes that smell musky and a bit like incense. Amber would be a great smelling perfume for you.

If Your Smell Is Fresh: If your smell is like that of celery or freshly cut lettuce you will want to find perfumes that are sweet smelling with little hints of vanilla in them. They will compliment your smell perfectly.

If you need help figuring out your own body’s natural scent you could ask a very close friend or your spouse. You need to find someone that will be completely honest with you, though. Otherwise you will be wasting your money on a certain type of perfume that could actually make you smell worse. We all have our own natural body scents, but since we are in these bodies we do not usually know what our real scent is. That is why it is vital you ask someone else. If you are too shy to ask someone close to you or just do not want to, go to your local perfume counter and pull a nice, helpful employee aside. Tell them that you need help finding the best perfume for you, but you need help. Ask
them how you can find out what your own natural scent is. Make sure you go in as you would normally dress with no perfume on. Most likely, they will get a good whiff of you and help you find the best perfume to work with your natural smell, instead of against it.

Natural Perfumes [By: Ursula McLean]

Those with sensitive skin listen up: there are natural perfumes out there that may work for you!
Perfume is wonderful, but if you are allergic to it you can’t enjoy wearing perfume or even going to the perfume counter to try some out. You are simply stuck with your body’s natural perfume and your deodorant, which may not have a particular scent to it. The only thing worse than sneezing and sniffling when you are anywhere near perfume is if you have had allergic reactions to perfume on your skin. It can leave red bumpy marks on your skin (like that of a rash) wherever you put it. You might have just said, oh well, I have sensitive skin and just can’t wear perfume.
You do not need to give up. There are plenty of good, talented and skilled people out there making perfumes just for you. There are perfumes for those with sensitive skin and those who are allergic to perfume. You can find perfume that will not make you sneeze or break out.
What you need to look for are natural perfumes. It is now much easier to find natural perfumes with the increase in demand for more natural products of all kinds. Natural perfumes are also great if you are worried about any additives that you can’t even pronounce, let alone know what they are. Natural perfumes can include searching for organic perfumes, organic essential oils, natural essential oils, and more.
Natural Essential Oil Mixed Perfume –
There are some companies that will allow you to mix different essential oils together to get a perfume that you like. They will then dilute that mixture to make it work as perfume for you. There are so many different types of essential oils out there and most of them come from plants and flowers. You can even search and purchase a do it yourself perfume kit online so you can create your own perfume and experiment with different kinds of perfume that you actually make on your own – and it is all made with natural essential oils.
One example of a do it yourself perfume kit is this –
The kit should come with the most common scents of perfume that you would be able to find on store shelves, such as citrus, floral, musk, and sweet. The do it yourself perfume kit should also come with directions on how to mix the ingredients as well as explanations on why you need to mix certain ingredients together to get the perfume you want out of it. Most of these perfume kits will come with five milliliter bottles of the different essential oils so you can mix some of them together to get the perfume you want.
A do it yourself perfume kit will also make a great gift for anyone from those who wear perfume on a daily basis to those who can’t wear perfume because they are allergic to it.
What If You Just Don’t Want To Do It Yourself?
Hey, sometimes we just do not want to experiment with different essential oils and try to make our own natural perfume. You can also buy natural perfume that has already been made for you. However do you know what to look for in a good, all natural perfume? Before you start searching for some natural perfume there are some things that you need to look for first.
