How to know that what is the right perfume for you and when:

Methods:

• Experiment. Try lots of different scents, and be sure to actually try them on your body. Your natural oils will mix with each fragrance to produce a unique scent. In order to tell whether or not you will actually like the way something smells, you'll need to try it on yourself first.Wait until after the perfume has dried before sniffing in order to tell what the scent will be like.Use a makeup wipe to get rid of any unwanted scents.

• Pick a scent you like. The most important opinion to consider in selecting a perfume is your own. Perfume is meant to make you feel attractive and confident, and if you don't like what you're wearing then you will probably feel self conscious. Consider owning multiple perfumes to suit your different moods and to give yourself the opportunity to change things up.

• Pick a scent they'll like. Part of the point of wearing perfume on a date is to seem attractive to the other party. Although you might not know what scents he or she likes, you can always ask. In a more established relationship you should have an idea of their preferences. If you know that they hate the smell of oranges and lemon scented soaps, avoid citrusy smells. Be careful to pay attention to whether or not your date has any kind of perfume or scent allergies. If you are less familiar with them, ask. If your date has an allergy to perfume, be considerate of them and do not wear any.

• Choose a perfume with heavy base notes. Although every perfume has top, middle, and base notes that determine what the scent smells like, top notes are very short lived and middle notes are meant to harmonize. Base notes are what you want to pay attention to in a perfume as these are the smells that will stay with you the longest. Choose perfumes with heavier base notes in order to know you will have a perfume that will last throughout your date.

Musk, oriental, and wood-based scents like sandalwood and patchouli will remain the longest.Citrus notes are the lightest and usually evaporate the fastest.
