Scents of Self

Perfumes are powerful accessories and people wear them for different reasons. Choosing a signature scent can be very tricky. Signature scent? yes, it is the unique expression of your individuality. This explains why some people prefer floral, oriental, fruity or woody scents.

I love floral scents. They are sensual and feminine. Each time i wear  a scent, it lightens my mood and makes me feel good. I realize that scents have a fascinating effect on the mind, not just on the person wearing it but also on others. The effect is either positive or negative. Have you ever met someone with a repulsive behaviour, a behaviour you cannot tolerate but you are getting turned on by his/her scent? It appeals to your sense, it evokes a sense of passion. Scents either attracts you to people or repels them.

So how do you choose your signature scent? Well, there is an important factor to be considered in choosing a scent, don't buy perfumes because of how it smell on others. Our body chemistry is unique. This is why some fragrances lasts longer on some people's skin than others. So it is important to try it on your skin to see how it reacts with your body chemistry.

It is believed that personality traits of an individual as well as the activities they take part in are related to the fragrances they choose. For instance, people who are sporty like woody scents because they are clean and refreshing. 

In essence, its important to choose a perfume that represents who you are, yes your signature scent.
