Almost all people recognize the need to smell good. They have to own at least one perfume every now and then. It is not only to make an impression but also as part of grooming. Anyway, there are perfumes that can be used in ordinary days as well as in special occasions.  What matters is that the person would smell fragrant all throughout the day.



Every perfume has its own theme. No two perfumes have the same fragrance. For instance, there may have many stocks for Dune of Christian Dior. But there is only one fragrance of Dune compared to other perfume names. You may find that there is somewhat the same smell with Dune but there is only one original scent and quality of Dune. In other words, every perfume is unique. The fact is that the mixture of ingredients in perfume is usually kept a secret and is patented. You just have to choose which among the hundreds of choices of perfumes available is suitable for you. It should compliment your lifestyle and your natural body smell.

A perfume is composed of different ingredients in various sources. The quality of every perfume depends on the complete stages of smelling the fragrance. In essence, perfume is identified with 'notes.' The notes of the perfume give the impression of the smell as a whole. It is combined with careful knowledge of how each note evaporates. The notes include the top notes, the middle notes, and the base notes.

The top notes of the perfume are the initial smell that you get once you apply the perfume. It is composed of light and small molecules that disperse into the air quickly. They are the first impression that you get about the smell of the perfume so it is important that the top note creates a positive impression to consumers. The middle notes are the smell of the perfume right after the top note dissipates. They are often called the 'heart note' which comprises the main scent of the perfume after the first impression was revealed in the top notes. Finally, the base notes are the scent that are close to the disappearance of the smell of middle notes. Middle notes and base notes comprise the main theme of perfume. The base notes are the compound that makes up the solidity of the perfume and it is usually noticed after 30 minutes of application.

So when you are choosing a perfume, it is not necessary to just get the first impression which you take from the top notes. What is equally important is how the perfume lingers in your body. When applying a perfume, be sure to let it stay for a while. Then you can evaluate if the perfume is right for you or not. This is especially true if you perspire a lot. You should know how the perfume mixes with your own smell to ensure that you still get a perfume scent that compliments your own natural smell.
