From Soft & Subtle to Bold & Bossy: Where Does Your Fragrance Fall?

Smelling good is an avenue to appeal to people around you. Perfumes are excellent beauty products that can make you smell great everywhere you go. Choosing the  fragrance to use depends on your skin type, occasion, season, and personal preferences.

Although often associated with confidence and aroma, not everyone understands which fragrance suits them. While there are bold and subtle perfumes, how does your body react to them? Here are criterias you can use to assess your fragrance type.

High Concentration of Scent

How a perfume is scented will determine if it’s harsh or subtle on your skin. While highly scented perfumes are more potent, they may not be great for you. In fact, many people find such perfumes very overwhelming. If the cologne you are using smells heavily, it is likely to be hard on your skin. Notes that are present in your perfume determine the scent.

Quality of the Fragrance

When assessing a perfume, quality is one of the criteria to look out for. Which notes are they made from? Are they well blended, or do they come in a single note? One mistake people make when assessing quality perfumes is brand names. While big perfume brands are good, it doesn’t make them superior to those with lesser names.

Originality

Is the scent from the cologne unusual, or is it something you are familiar with? Also, is the perfume among the recently launched ones, or is it a good imitation? While originality is crucial, a cologne should be pleasant and make you feel special.

Power and Radiance

Your fragrance must be able to project its strength everywhere you go. No matter how beautiful a cologne is, if nobody admires it, then applying it is futile. The wearer should be able to feel its power, whether subtle or bold, as they enter the room. While some perfumes are so strong that everyone around you should feel the scent, some are subtle but with better longevity.

Versatility

Another important feature of top fragrances is the time to wear it. Can it be worn every day or just for special occasions? Is it a unisex perfume or meant for specific genders? Check if your perfume is versatile or has specific periods that it’s ideal for.

Final Thoughts

Whether harsh or mild, the fragrance you use should pass some specific criteria. While quality perfumes are ideal, they should be potent and versatile.
