When it comes to wearing perfume or aftershave, less is more. You don’t have to wear fragrance at all if that is your style. When you want to, do some research. A fragrance to complement you is worth seeking. Discover what works best on you. Is it oriental, floral, woody, fresh, classic or a mix of two of these? Spend some time at the fragrance counters of department stores and explain your personality and interests. A good fragrance consultant, by looking at your colouring and listening to your story will be able to suggest a few perfumes or aftershaves. Try a maximum of two on your wrists that day. Sniff them for the next few hours to decide how you feel about them and how they blend with your skin chemistry. If one of them doesn’t sing to you, go back another day and try two more. Keep going until you find a fragrance which makes you feel sensual. Many people have two favourites, one for day and a heavier one for evening. Or one for summer and one for winter.
When you apply your favourite, be discreet. That’s the secret. Let the fragrance be intimate with you. For women it’s best to put it on your skin under your clothes. Not on your neck and wrists, where its scent can overpower. Men using aftershave should just lightly, lightly, lightly, splash it on the face. The message for both men and women? Just because you can’t smell it yourself after ten minutes is no reason to reapply. Resist. Others know you have it on. Women often feel more sensual and responsive when they smell men’s fragrances. It must be subtle so it draws you in and leaves you wanting more.
