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.
