Cosmetics Perfume - Choosing a Fragrance to Suit You

Choosing a fragrance that suits you can be a challenge, especially if you don't know what each fragrance represents. Deciding how you want to represent yourself means you need to consider what the fragrance means to you, as well as what it means to others. There are some characteristics that each type of scent is associated with.

Age

When you are looking for a fragrance, you need to consider your age. Generally, scents can be targeted towards a specific age group. For example, a light and bubbly scent is directed more at teenagers than at 50-year women. Most 50-year old women wear a heavier scent, to represent the experience they've had in life.

Personality

Your personality has a huge affect on how you want to express yourself to others. Whether you're confident, bubbly, level headed, or seductive, your scent should convey that.

Scent Categories

Each scent means something different. It's the undertones that truly express what each scent really means.

Scent	Meaning
Fresh	These scents are commonly citrus (lemon, lime, grapefruit, etc.) and represent vibrancy and joy.
Floral	These scents of roses and flowers are very romantic and feminine and represent seduction.

When considering what fragrance suits you, you should pick something that you feel confident wearing. You fragrance should truly represent you, and if you aren't happy with it, looking for something else may be in your best interest!
