Selecting a scent for Cologne Perfumes

Today you will find a large number of choices when selecting a scent for your cologne. Perfumes are also a huge market with many choices. It can be overwhelming at times to figure out which scent is the best one to wear. Here are some tips to help you in making the perfect choice.

Blending With Your Body

It is important to test the scent on a small section of your body. Some people find that the scents have a strong alcohol smell to them for cologne. Perfumes have more oils than cologne so if you are finding your scents have a lingering alcohol smell, you might want to select perfumes over colognes.

Spray or dab a small amount of the cologne or perfume and wait about thirty minutes to smell the area. This gives your skin time to react to the scent. You do not want a scent that is over-powering or one that lingers with alcohol smell. If the scent blends well, that is the one you should select. If it does not blend well, you will want to repeat the process until you find the ideal scent for you.

Types of Fragrances

With such a huge product line for both colognes and perfumes, there are many different type of fragrances available. The type that you will purchase will depend heavily on your individual preferences. Some people enjoy the lighter scents of flowers or even the herbal scents. Other people enjoy a musky scent. Smell the sample body before you test the scent to see if it blends with your body.

Selecting More Than One Scent

You do not have to restrict yourself to one scent. One option is to do variations of a scent that you enjoy. For example, if you like the scent of vanilla there are several variations to choose. You can do a light vanilla for office wear and perhaps a dark vanilla for evening wear. You could also wear a vanilla-lavender for romantic evening.

You do not have to just wear one variation of a scent. You can select different scents for different occasions or even for whatever your mood might be for a particular day. Collecting colognes and perfumes can be not only enjoyable for what you wear but a fun hobby.

Scents for Various Occasions

There are many different reasons to wear colognes and perfumes. Some people like to wear them to work. Other people like to wear them only for going out for the evening or attending a special event such as an anniversary party or birthday party.

Traditionally for daytime events and occasions it is recommended to wear lighter scents that are not over-powering or strong. Many people will wear cologne during the day because it is not as concentrated as the perfumes. For evening wear, the stronger scents are more common.

The scent will fade as it is worn due to the alcohol in it. Colognes not only have a lighter scent but tend to fade more quickly than the perfumes which have more oil in them. You will want to keep this in mind when selecting to wear cologne or perfume for the day or evening.
