Before proceeding directly to the choice of a particular scent, you should familiarize yourself in more detail with the various types of perfumes.
Varieties of perfumes
The greatest percentage of aroma composition is inherent in perfumes, which are also characterized by the highest odor persistence (at least 5 hours, and sometimes even 10-24 hours). That is why perfumes are sold in small bottles and do not have a spray bottle. The main disadvantage is the rather high price.
Cologne has a minimal concentration of aroma, the smell is rather weak, sometimes barely perceptible. In almost all cases, it can be compared to men's eau de toilette.
Unlike perfumes, eau de parfum has a lower concentration of odor, which is why it has a lower cost. We can say that eau de parfum has become an excellent alternative to expensive perfumes today. It is sold in large packages and has a dispenser.
Eau de toilette has a daytime scent in almost all cases. The smell is rather weak, lasts about three hours, which is why you have to apply eau de toilette much more often.
Perfumed body mist is a kind of hybrid. This includes a variety of perfumed body care products.

Rules for choosing perfume
A properly selected aroma will not only delight, but also help to improve your well-being, while the increased attention of men is guaranteed to you. When choosing a fragrance, many girls listen to their intuition, but if you take into account several selection criteria, you can be 100% sure in a successful version.
It is advisable to go shopping in the morning, since it is at this time of the day that the sense of smell is more acute. Experts were able to establish that during menstruation, women experience an increase in the work of all organs, so it will be possible to make the right choice. First you need to properly prepare your skin - you should not eat anything spicy or spicy, because such products can change the acidity of the skin, therefore, the aroma will smell quite differently. Before going to the store, you need to remove all bracelets and rings - jewelry made of plastic, metal, leather can affect the change in scent, which will lead to certain problems when choosing a perfume. It is not recommended to purchase perfume on the first day. It takes some time to get used to the scent so that you can get the right impression about it. If you wake up in the morning and still like the scent, you can purchase it.
It is not recommended to use the same scent in the morning and in the evening, as the choice of perfume should fully correspond to the situation. When choosing a perfume, age should also be taken into account - for example, youth fragrances are strictly prohibited for use by adult women. Light and fresh scents are perfect for young girls - for example, marine, floral or fruity scents.
Before choosing a particular perfume, you need to decide on the type of product. For example, perfumes have a more persistent scent and have a concentrated base. Much less emphasis is placed on odoriferous oils during the production of eau de toilette, so the scent will fade away much faster.
Citrus smells
These are the most common and popular scents that can be slightly sweet or bitter. However, they are always pleasant and fresh, which makes them the most sought after among young girls.
Various citrus aromas are added to almost all compositions. Such perfumes have a very pleasant scent, so they are simply ideally combined with various groups of fragrances. Citrus fruits include the smell of bergamot, orange, lemon, lime, orange, tangerine.
Citrus perfumes and perfumes always bring coolness and amazing freshness. Therefore, such aromas are recommended to be used in the first half of the day. Citrus aromas perfectly refresh, invigorate and stimulate to more active actions. Perfumes that contain notes of citrus are chosen by active, lively and energetic girls.
Chypre scents
Such perfumes always last for a very long time and are among the most persistent fragrances. Chypre scents are very warm and deep, musky or woody. The classic version of chypre perfume has a light citrus freshness at first, after which the main bouquet opens, which, with the exception of musk, also includes a floral scent. Depending on the sweetness of the floral notes, the warmth, as well as the saturation of the perfume, will be determined.
Today there are practically no boundaries and one can find leather, fruit, floral, woody chypres, etc. These fragrances have a common base - woody-musky. There are other nuances that will only emphasize the depth of the base of the fragrance.
Chypre fragrances are classics, so they are perfect for those who prefer quality, luxury and conservatism. They are ideally combined with the image of a strong and confident woman who is not only very brave, but also prefers to be independent.
Floral scents
These are the most romantic and sweetest scents. If some special holiday is coming soon, a meeting with a loved one, then it is worth paying special attention to flower arrangements, which represent a fairly wide selection. As a rule, several colors are included in the composition of floral fragrances. The aromas of lilac, violet, rose, lily of the valley, narcissus and jasmine are ideally combined.
Floral perfumes are divided into several different categories, which are determined based on the composition - floral-fruity, floral-chypre, floral-citrus. These scents are truly unique in their own way, since they simply do not exist in nature.
All perfumes with different floral notes are fresh, youthful and a little daring, so they are suitable for young girls.
Fruit and fern scents
Fern or fougere aromas, fresh, have a slight bitterness (lavender, bergamot, oak moss, wood, etc.). To acquire the so-called “unisex” fragrance, you need to stop the choice on fern ones, which are as close as possible to masculine fragrances, and the main distinguishing feature is slightly harsh herbal notes. A common feature of fern scents is a sensual, clear, pleasant aroma with a little astringency.
Summer aromas include fruity ones that convey the taste of warmth and summer. To create such aromas, any fruit is used, because each of them has its own, unique taste and expressive, bright aroma. Before purchasing any fruit perfume, you must first try it. For example, notes of pineapple and mango add mystery. Pears and apples are used to create fresh and simple perfumes. And the berries help to give a unique richness to the perfume.
Perfume with a pear scent is extremely rare, which is why it is so popular among girls and women. Vanilla gives sweetness, but such compositions are quite complex, therefore, they can have an ambiguous effect on the hearts and minds of people around them - they can attract representatives of the opposite sex, excite the imagination and help improve mood. All perfumes with the addition of vanilla are durable and suitable for individuals who prefer success and independence.
