The fragrances of perfume can tell about the character of an individual, emphasize his personality, make him attractive and charming. But this is possible only if you choose the right flavor. Most often we choose perfume in accordance with our own intuition and personal preferences. But how to deal with the delicate matter of choice?
Perfume types
All fragrances are conventionally divided into perfumes for male and female. They, in turn, are divided into groups. There are 3-4 flavor groups, so-called, “olfactory groups”. They differ from each other, having only a few common notes. The groups are subdivided into sub-groups, which we distinguish by choosing this or that fragrance. Scents can be sweet, cool, fresh and spicy.
Olfactory groups
Floral flavors

It means that the perfume has either a scent from one particular flower or a composition of fragrances of several flowers in a compound. The most common floral scents are lilac, lily, lily-of-the-Valley, rose, violet, narcissus. Perfume with floral fragrances is distinguished by a delicate, fresh and tender scent. Because of its lightness, these fragrances don’t have any seasonality.

It should be noted that the choice of perfume is a very complex and responsible process that requires careful preparation:
Perfumers say that “the smell should correspond to the character of the owner”. Therefore, choosing perfume, you should not just follow the fashion trends. You should be guided by common sense and own preferences.
It is generally believed that the color of hair and skin influences the choice of the right fragrance. For example, light citrus, green and aquatic aromas will suit blondes, while brunettes should prefer saturated floral, spicy or oriental scents.
Choosing a perfume you should also pay attention to the color of the skin. Women with light skin should choose light and air aromas, owners of swarthy skin should prefer teasing and enveloping aromas.
The right choice of perfume is also based on age categories. So, young girls should choose bright, light, airy and unobtrusive scents which emphasize their youth and energy. Middle-aged women should prefer a bright, more pronounced and heavy fragrance with light citrus or fruity notes.
Important: Avoid mixing fragrances, otherwise you can make the wrong choice.
When choosing a perfume, use your own intuition, consider personal preferences and apply good advices in practice. Enjoy the shopping in the online-shop “Aromas Fullerene “.
