#perfume business cosmetic bag
There are several people in my life who could not find a suitable scent in any way. It was something like this - they went into the store, listened to several scents that the consultant offered them, did not like anything, and left. Or they went around and put the fragrances on the bloters themselves, but they had no choice. One of them is my friend. She is as far from the world of perfumery as possible. He has been using one fragrance for many years, constantly buying it. But she was tired of the scent, and she could not find anything to replace it.
She asked me to help, as she knows that I am fond of this topic. How could I refuse?
If you buy a scent, carry it home with anticipation, start using it and find that it is you suffocates, or some strange notes appear that were not in the store, you need to slightly change your approach to choice. I will tell you about it.
We went to the store and surrendered to the will of the consultant
We went to one of the chain cosmetic stores, at the entrance we were met by a consultant. It was interesting for me to observe the work of a consultant with a friend and I did not bother. A friend told the store employee that she was looking for some scent.
- What scents do you like - fresh, floral, oriental, sweet?
My friend was confused because hthen she didn't even knowthat the scent she used was oriental. Well sweet and sweet. In the end, the consultant showed her several sweet scents, mostly from the novelties.
Quickly, one by one, the scents were offered to us. As a result, my friend had several bloters in her hands, universal melancholy in her eyes, and a wild desire arose to smoke, although this habit was abandoned by her for about 5 years. Yes, the choice of perfume is not a holiday for everyone.
We let the girl go and ourselves went to have coffee in the car. I wanted to give my friend a break. Before leaving the store, a friend threw the bloters into the trash can. But in vain.
Determine what flavor is needed
While we were drinking coffee, I asked my friend what kind of aroma we were looking for - festive, everyday, evening, daytime. To roughly understand which way to look. My friend didn’t know that fragrances are divided into daytime and evening, I didn’t torture her much, explaining everything simply. Daytime - lighter, evening - heavier, sillage and bright. It has become clearer - we need a universal scent in which you can go for a walk or at a work meeting. Necessarily sweet? No.
So the first step is to understand for what cases you need a new perfume. If for work and walks with the family on the weekend, we immediately sweep aside all heavy, thick, evening aromas, a typical representative is La Vie Est Belle from Lancome, so popular.
Do not forget also about seasonality. In the warm season, we choose a lighter aroma, in the winter, saturated. In the summer, with a rich aroma, you will arrange nuclear war to others. There are versatile neutral fragrances that are allowed all year round, such as D&G Light Blue.
So the search circle becomes 2 times smaller, and already easier.
We are not in a hurry to throw out bloters
When we put one scent after another on the bloter, we often quickly reject them. before they are fully revealed. Many aromas are harsh at the start and not all notes sound right away. Over time, the perfume transforms due to the different volatility of the components, and often it becomes prettier than the first minute.
Now in Letual, for example, there are pencils along with the bloters, do not hesitate to write the name of the fragrance on paper and return to it in 10-20 minutes. It is recommended to test no more than 5-7 aromas at a time, then everything is already mixed and the sense of smell is "overwritten". Coffee between drinks is a myth, but a sip of water will not hurt.
If you are completely unfamiliar with perfumery, you can ask a consultant to show you hit fragrances, get to know them, it is not for nothing that they are so loved. If you're looking for a special personality, on the contrary, avoid them.
We tried several scents, signed them, and returned to them in 15-20 minutes. The girlfriend was surprised how beautifully they opened up even those to whom she immediately said no. This is a discovery for me! - she said surprised. We applied 2 scents we liked already on her wrist, because when interacting with the skin, the fragrance is revealed differently. Be sure to wear the fragrance BEFORE buying! So, one on the skin for a friend became intrusive, and the second became more pleasant. And she was afraid that she would not be able to choose. The chemistry of her skin made this choice for her)
This is how at first all 7 scents did not sink into the soul of a friend, then it turned out that they were nothing, especially 2, and as a result, one beautifully sat on the skin. The choice has been made! Calls me to go for the second fall)
Thanks for your like! I wish everyone to find their own scent, and not just one) Subscribe, I have many articles on the perfumery topic, and not only.
