A perfume is the invisible,but extraordinary and crucial fashion accessory.We think our fragrance will add luster to our appearance and at the same time people around us would enjoy the experience.But that’s not always right.People around us may not like the perfume or cologne we are wearing.Someone sitting around us at a restaurant may be asthmatic or allergic to our scent! How can we identify the quantity of perfume is appropriate? When someone applies too much perfume or cologne,you will smell a fragrance but not their signature scent.Your perfume scent should not make a statement by itself.Applying perfume or cologne should be done in a way allowing the fragrance to interact with your body chemistry to produce your personalized version of the scent—your signature scent.

Where to apply the perfume or cologne is one of the secrets of having proper perfume etiquette you should learn.Perfume can interact with your body chemistry without disrupting the environment around you,and it is the best that your fragrance scent is subtle enough that only people close to you can get a hint.If the fragrance makes people sneeze,that absolutely means you applied too much perfume.

The most important rule for perfume etiquette is to firstly select a perfume suitable for your age and character.Now most perfumes are suited especially for more mature women,while there are not enough choices for teenage girls.Therefore if you fail to choose the corresponding option to yourself,you are making a big mistake as you definitely won’t like it nor will it be accepted.A perfect perfume is one that marks your private stamp on people’s minds and one that will always remind them of only you.So young ladies should stop sharing your mother’s perfume and get your own.

It is also very inappropriate to apply a very strong loud scent in the morning.If you do this,you will have just violated everybody’s personal smelling vicinity,irritated every nostril and left no room for anyone to consider admiring your perfume.So,it is good manners to apply a less energetic perfume for the morning and maybe a little sophisticated one for the night.
