Do Perfumes Have Personalities
Do Perfumes have Personalities?
It is believed that perfumes have their own unique personalities. This view was first put forth by the famous perfumer Jean Guerlain who is the creator of the well-known names L’Instant de Guerlain and Shalimar. Perfume is worn for a variety of different reasons- to attract and seduce the opposite sex; to improve one’s mood or state of mind; to boost one’s level of self confidence; to refresh and energize and so on. The aim is to always choose a fragrance that suits your individual persona. To put it another way, look for a scent that strives to enhance your aura, not take away from it by overpowering you (and others!).
Inside each of us lies our own “fragrance personality.” Our fragrance personality helps explain why some individuals are drawn to fruity scents, others to florals, others to musky and still others to oriental. It has been hypothesized by perfume retailers that what kind of music a person enjoys, plus what colors they favor and what activities they enjoy participating in plays a role with regard to their fragrance preference.
Classical music lovers who vacation in country locations and adore the color pink tend to be drawn to the most feminine of all scents- the floral ones. Rock and roll enthusiasts who also favor the color yellow and enjoy indulging in spa treatments tend to lean towards the fruity kinds of fragrances. R
