SIGNATURE SCENTS



Choosing a fragrance can be a daunting and tricky task from the many available on the market today, often we choose based on recommendations from friends and colleagues or after our getting swayed by our nasal passage .
Same brand fragrances may even smell different in each one of us because our individual body chemistry affects how base notes reacts on our skin...our diet, stress and medications can all affect how a perfume smells on us. 
Generally people with oily skin will have a longer lasting smell than people with dry skin solely because, perfumes evaporate rapidly from dry skin than oily skin. To get a longer lasting smell, it is recommended to apply after shower or application if body lotion since your skin absorbs more after it is wet. 
The main categories of perfumes available on the shelf are Eau de Parfum(EDP) and Eau de Toilette(EDT) ,which simply refers to the concentration of fragrance oils. Eau de Parfum has a higher concentration of fragrace oils than Eau de Toilette, so while it's more expensive, Eau de Parfum proves better value since it lasts longer and you need to use less of it. Not all fragrances are available in both EDT and EDP and most importantly the brand of the fragrance determines the longevity of the smell.
Applying your perfume right is about as important as choosing one, the best places to apply to get the most out of your perfume is at your pulse points; wrists, base of the throat, behind the ear lobes and the bend in your elbows.  Don't dab your wrists together after application as this breaks the scent and dont apply too much....NO ONE LIKES SOMEONE WEARING TOO MUCH PERFUME.
