We've all heard it before ?first impressions count?. But is your perfume saying the right things about you? When wanting to create the right impression we think about what to wear and we take care with our makeup and ensure that our hair and nails are well groomed. But how often do we consider the impression that our fragrance projects? It is not difficult to select the right perfume; it's just that we don't often give much thought to what our perfume says about us. If you don't know a base note from a top note or a chypre from a floral oriental, here's an easy guide to which perfume to wear and when.

Perfumes have their own personality. Choosing a perfume with a personality that matches the mood that you want to project will help to reinforce the impression that you want to create.
