Most men buy perfume just on the basis of a simplified “sniff test” done by them at the perfume section. Unfortunately, that is not considered to be the right way to buy men’s perfume as you are just smelling the top notes and a perfume is a lot more than that.
Perfumes and colognes have 3 distinct scents. If you are also doing sniff test regularly, most likely you will go for the very initial scent implying that your decision is outright incomplete.
Types of Scents
- Initial or Top Note Scent
- Main or Heart Note Scent
- Base or Drydown Scent
The initial or Top Note Scent is quite sharp and fresh. It is the first one to be smelled by an individual immediately upon spraying the perfume.
Upon evaporation of the initial scent, the second main or heart note scent eventually comes through. After you wear the perfume, within 10 to 60 minutes after spraying it, the perfume’s scent becomes smoother from the initial scent, thereby turning into heart scent that discloses the true personality of the perfume towards impression formation to the people around you.
Upon the evaporation of the main or heart note scent, the remaining scent known as base or drydown note often lingers and is subtle. This one is richer and deeper in comparison to the initial scent.
Regarding going to buy women’s perfume, certain advice need to be followed towards helping you quickly and correctly making the choice of the best fragrance. There are four sorts of women’s perfumes, viz., fruity, fresh, oriental, and floral. For a diligent woman, fresh aroma flavor will do. For special occasions like an anniversary or other significant dates, oriental and floral fragrances are a must. If you spend most of your time in a crowded environment, fruity fragrances can do better as it can make you feel fresh all day.
