Favorite eau de toilette, perfumes, cologne appear in the life of every person due to chance coincidence or careful selection. Sometimes pushing to the choice of annoying ads, tips from idols or just friends, even the original packaging and an unusual bottle.
Someone immediately falls in love with one perfume. Someone needs to try a lot of different smells to give preference to something specific or even several options of what you want to wear, constantly feel on yourself.
Why traditional methods have sunk into oblivion
It would seem that there is something unusual? You just need to test it on yourself before buying any flavor. To do this, you can go to any specialized store and use testers.
However, firstly, not at all retail outlets they will give you the opportunity to apply your favorite perfume or toilet water, or cologne on the body. And it is impossible to predict if you focus on the so-called blotters, as all the nuances of the fragrant bouquet, its various notes will introduce themselves on the skin. Secondly, not all brands present such familiarization options for their products, especially when it comes to best-selling perfumes.
So it turns out that a potential buyer of such a fragrant product can help out only his own sense of smell, intuition and a sense of proportion? They are undoubtedly helpful assistants in choosing aromas.
So, everything turned out, the aroma is selected. Here, many, not only inexperienced amateurs, make a colossal mistake, in the opinion of the best modern “noses”.
Why you should think about fragrant variety
So, Christophe Servasel, one of the founders of the Atelier Cologne brand, advises not to dwell on one thing at all. He believes that in the arsenal of every person should be at least three flavors. Morning for him is associated with freshness, and therefore it is not surprising that he himself wears something unobtrusive citrus in the mornings. In the afternoon, when the light aroma disappears, Christophe changes it to something more full-bodied. And in the evening, again, “change clothes”.
It is no accident that in Atelier Cologne a beautiful story is written for each cologne, perfume, and toilet water. It is designed to arouse interest and feelings, to help customers make their choice not only with their nose.
Is it difficult to compare yourself with those who have been creating fragrances all their lives? Is their odor perception quite different?
Jean-Claude Helena, once one of the main perfumers of "Hermes" advised not to be afraid of the smells of life. Between the words “sniff” and “try” he always had an equal sign. He believed that the art of choosing flavors was akin to gastronomy: the more you absorb variegated food, the brighter the idea of cooking becomes. It is worth trying to do the same with perfumery products in order to truly develop your sense of smell.
Jean-Claude believed that different smells, not only pleasant, act, open in different settings in different ways. Studying them helps to realize that each fragrance is capable of how to charge with special energy, create a comfortable mood, emphasize a certain image, and even out all efforts with the wrong choice. Therefore, it is so important to develop (train) your sense of smell without focusing on one perfume!
