Why Give The Gift Of Perfume - How Do
You Choose?
By Sandy Lindberg
It is safe to say that most women love to
receive gifts of jewelry and perfume. These items are personal and
each make a statement about the woman wearing them. Perfume is like
a signature…something a woman wears that portrays her personality.
Designer perfume is a great gift to someone you care about. These
top brands of fragrances will keep their scent for many hours of
pleasure. Designer perfumes are worth the investment because of
their unique and beautiful blends. Keep in mind that many fragrances
are also offered in body lotions, shower gels, gift sets, soaps,
body powders, mini bottles for travel, and other gift items.
Each designer brand of perfume gives a brief
description of each of their fragrances. From this description you
can decide which scent fits the recipient of your gift the best.
When checking out perfumes at retail outlets, knowledgeable
professionals should ask you questions about the gift recipient to
help you decide a specific fragrance. Check out their prices and
then check the Internet for the best price!
By actually testing the fragrance, you can use
your personal taste of the aroma. However, keep in mind that each
person’s skin takes on a slightly different scent from each
fragrance. Don’t worry yourself about making the wrong choice. Most
times the recipient appreciates the fact that you took the time to
choose a perfume that you thought would be appropriate. The areas
below will give you something to think about when reviewing the
various designer perfumes when making your choice:
Personality
Many fragrances imply a fragrance of being
flirty, playful, or romantic. Can you describe the gift recipient
and match it to a perfume?
Ingredient Blends
The fragrance descriptions tell you about the
blends of each fragrance. Some of these blends include: oriental,
sharp, aquatic, various spices, coconut, peach and other fruits,
orchids and floral of many kinds, different woods, leaves and twigs,
oils to only name a few. What blend does your recipient prefer?
Day or Evening Wear Perfume descriptions
usually tell you if the fragrance is designed for daytime, evening,
casual, office wear, versatile, and maybe for romance.
Color of your Hair
Brunettes: usually have medium to dark skin
which contains natural oils, allowing scents to last longer.
Dramatic orientals are often favorites.
Blondes: usually have fair skin and will do
well with long-lasting multi-floral fragrances. Their skin is often
dry causing fragrances that are too subtle to evaporate rapidly.
Redheads: have extremely fair and delicate skin
that may be incompatible with fragrances which have predominant
green notes.
