The perfect scent by chandler burr6/21/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Next to come off your skin are the middle notes, the medium-weight molecules (heavier florals, most often). ![]() The balloons lift off from your skin the first ones that zip up and hit your nose are the top notes, the smallest and lightest (citruses, powdery scents, or light florals). A perfume freshly sprayed on your arm is like a box of balloons of different sizes that's just been opened. You're finding out how it performs, how you feel about it at every hour (and in every mood). You can ask for a sample vial to take home apply the fragrance in the morning, wear it all day, reapply in the afternoon, and perhaps at night. ![]() Once you find a few fragrances you're ready to get serious about, you must try them on your skin. I don't use those ubiquitous coffee beans to clear my scent palate-they're just another smell that will fatigue the nose. Wait a few moments between different scents. Don't inhale steadily over it lean into it, get the scent, and then move it away for a second. There's nothing wrong with blotters for browsing (but make sure you don't touch the blotter to your nose getting the fragrance on your skin will adulterate all other scents). When you're fragrance shopping, is it better to use those paper testers or your own skin? One part mystery, two parts seduction-even the act of applying fragrance can be gloriously provocative. Sixteen things about using, choosing, buying, and wearing fragrance you'll be very glad to know (including why some people wear too much). ![]()
