Your perfume tells a lot about you. The way a person smells is integral to their identity. Pick out your perfume is something that you do by yourself, for yourself. A good perfume will make you stand out from the crowd. It will also distinguish you from a sea of other people. Your scent helps other people remember and identify you; a good perfume is always appreciated.

However, you should always test perfumes on your skin before buying them. Every perfume might not suit your skin, so you must find that perfect fit. Soon, we’ll talk about five important tips you can remember while choosing your next perfume. So, let’s get into it:

1.     How Would You Like Yourself To Smell?

2.     Check Your Skin Type!

Before going into whether you have dry skin, oily skin, or combination skin, you need to do a patch test of any perfume on your skin before using it for a long time. A patch test will help you determine if the perfume suits your skin. A 24-hour patch test is the standard method. If you don’t have any reactions or allergies/rashes within 24 hours, you’re good to go!

3.     Try Out A Patch Test!

The next tip is to confirm your skin type. You can have dry/oily/combination skin type. But your body is going to react differently to products than your face. So, if you have sensitive skin, you must go for products that don’t irritate you. The best way to do this is to pick out perfumes with little alcohol in them. It will be more soothing for your skin.

1. If you have oily skin, follow this tip. If your skin, especially your arms and neck, feels like they’re always hydrated and moisturized, then you have oily skin. So, you should stay away from musky notes. Go for lighter, summery, and floral/citrus tones. It’s going to blend well with the natural oils of your body. Musky tones will just overpower your natural scent.
2. Now, if you have dry skin that always asks for something more, follow this. For dry skin, go for musky, woodier notes. A strong floral with heavy citrus notes will also work. Your dry skin will absorb the scent and regulate it well. If you apply lighter floral tones, it will get lost, and the scent will not even be detected. However, if you dislike musky tones, you can use cooler tones. You can use a moisturizer before applying the perfume to make it stay longer.
3. You can use any perfume you want for a combination skin type. Remember to do a patch test on your skin before using it daily. Also, if you have combination skin and you see that your perfume doesn’t last if you apply it to specific places, then hydrate that area before applying it.

4.     Check Whether You’re Allergic

Lastly, remember that not every perfume is made for your skin type. Don’t use something just because you like the smell of it. Only invest in perfume if it checks all the boxes, including fitting your skin type.

5.     What Occasion do You want To Wear It Too?

Another important thing that matters is finding the type of occasion. Some people ignore this and don’t pay much heed, but you must choose the occasion and make the right perfume choice. With the above points, the entire process would become more straightforward.
