Find the Best Expression for Your Personality

Each perfume can figuratively be called an indicator of your personality. Therefore, a correctly chosen fragrance gives a feeling of incredible confidence. By the nature of their sound, all fragrances can be divided into six categories:

Citrus – embodies lightness and freshness. Ideal for people who prefer dynamism and constant movement. They suit joyful personalities who seek inspiration in the surrounding world;
Floral – perfectly suit gentle and romantic people. These perfumes have a special atmosphere of lightness and weightlessness;
Chypre – in these perfumes, one can distinctly feel notes of bergamot, rose, and patchouli. They are both sexy and elegant. Therefore, they suit strong personalities who want to emphasize their authentic individuality;
Oriental – in perfumes, one can clearly feel spices, musk, and vanilla. Such fragrances have a seductive and mysterious atmosphere, thus suit sensual personalities;
Herbal – in such compositions, one can clearly sense lavender, rosemary, sage, and other herbs. They are ideal for extroverts and energetic people;
Woody – distinctly feature notes of patchouli, cedar, sandalwood. Best suit people with an adventurous, bold spirit.

How to Properly Select a Fragrance According to Age?

There are no strict rules, as most fragrances are universal. At different stages of life, your tastes and style may change, so perfume can most accurately reflect such changes.

In teenage years and up to twenty-five, fresh, fruity, or floral fragrances are best suited. They can create a casual light atmosphere, adding liveliness and energy to the look.

Closer to 30 years, preferences often shift to fragrances associated with seduction. They can reveal intense sensuality while simultaneously emphasizing the mystery of the image and its elegance. At 40+, heavier perfumes are often chosen, reflecting experience and strength. However, remember to first listen to your own feelings and intuition and choose a fragrance that can complement your personality and highlight your style.

Perfumes for Men and Women: Main Differences

Most fragrances have similar components. However, there are characteristic differences between women’s and men’s compositions. Among them:

Scent sound – women’s collections often contain floral, fruity, and sweet notes, which best emphasize tenderness and femininity. Meanwhile, fragrances for men have characteristic woody, spicy, or citrus notes, expressing strength and masculinity;
Intensity – men’s perfumes tend to have a more intense and lasting sound, while women’s suit a softer atmosphere;
Ingredients – men’s perfumes contain ambergris, musk, patchouli, which give a deeper and earthier fragrance, whereas women’s are a fireworks of flowers and fruits, providing freshness and lightness.

In the Amazing Aroma collection, fragrances are presented for both sexes. For instance, among men’s perfumes, the following deserve attention: №5 A PINEAPPLE BIRCH, №10 ORANGE SEA, and №25 BERGAMOT SANDALWOOD. The majority of compositions in our assortment are women’s (these are numbers 3, 11, 13, 14, 16, 17, 20, 22, 23, 24).

Of course, there are universal options – unisex perfumes. They are suitable for both men and women, as they do not have a clearly expressed sexual orientation, thus fitting different tastes and styles. Unisex perfumes can have a varied composition: from fresh fruity to heavy spicy. We are pleased to offer such options in our assortment:

Do not be afraid to experiment and try various options. By doing so, you will be able to select the most successful option that will allow you to feel confident and stylish under any circumstances.

Pay Attention to the Notes

The choice of each fragrance is a personal matter. However, do not forget that each one is really different: today cheerful, tomorrow – lyrical. Likewise, perfumes can be different. Their composition depends on the chosen notes. Each fragrance has a three-tier structure:

Top notes – responsible for the initial fragrance. In most compositions, it starts with light floral or citrus chords;
Heart notes – create the real individuality of the perfume. Often these are floral, fruity, or spicy chords;
Base notes – appear at the end of the fragrance’s unfolding and linger for an extended period. They give the composition depth.

How to Choose a Perfume: Consider Seasonal Nuances

You can boldly choose different perfumes for each day. A fragrance, like a second skin, can envelop you and emphasize your uniqueness. Thus, you can try different options for different events: a light fragrance for everyday (for example, №3 PINK TULIP or №13 PATCHOULI ORANGE), a more intense composition for the evening (№23 PRALINE BRANDY).

You can boldly change perfumes according to the seasons, as each season suits a different composition. For example, fruit and floral notes are best for spring, light refreshing citrus chords for summer: they perfectly dilute the sunny weather and intense heat. Wooden and spicy notes are best for autumn. Meanwhile, in winter, it is better to prefer warming fragrances with spices and vanilla.

Don’t Forget About Testing

The best way to understand if a particular fragrance suits you is to try it yourself. For this purpose, Amazing Aroma created the DISCOVERY SET: you can independently choose six miniatures of 2 ml each. This way, you can independently test how the composition unfolds on your skin. Buying miniatures is an excellent decision, as it allows you to try different perfumes, saving money on buying full-size bottles. Moreover, such options are easy to take with you on a trip or to a party.

To better test the perfume and allow it to fully unfold, it is best to apply it to points where the veins pulse. The fragrance will unfold ideally if applied to the inner part of the wrists, neck, bent elbows, and behind the ears. However, apply perfume carefully, avoiding excessive use.
