Know Thy Own Scent

An unexpected comment was made by one TESDA director on the graduation rites of hundreds of technical-vocational trainees in a certain training institution in the Philippines. He said that one outstanding quality of Filipino workers that set them apart in the world is that they smell good. It sounds funny really, but for Filipina ladies, it is really essential to understand thy own scent because it sets them apart and makes them so likeable.

Generally for men, women, Filipinos or foreigners, it is really good to realize and recognize how your body smells as it will affect the your social standing, your acceptability , the strength of your personality, and the type of perfume you choose, or amount of particular perfume oil you add while making your own perfume.

The body and skin of each person has a peculiar smell - analogous to a fingerprint, voice check or a model of your DNA. It is scientifically verified that our qualms, hopes, necessities, our dietary preferences, our health, our ability to judge and liberate, are greatly influenced by the scent of our body. There are several fascinating stories about how detectives and spies were able to trace out the thieves by their body odor. It has also been stated by various researchers that the scent of our body has a profound impact upon our brain. When we go out to buy a perfume, or select any aromatic oils, we consciously or innocently choose those fragrances which are acceptable and can easily incorporate with the smell of our skin. The oil or perfume you put on your skin mixes with the smell your body and skin and creates a new fragrance.

If you understand the smell of your body correctly, and purchase and use perfumes suitably, it will have an encouraging effect in your personal and professional life. You will be more vigorous and optimistic in your life.

The best approach for verifying the nature of your own smell is to not take a shower following your workout and don't rinse your hair or sprits on body spray. Give yourself at least two hours and write down what you felt about your own smell, then again after taking a bath to "feel" the smell, and to see the difference in smell. This will help you determine the exact smell of your body. Once you ignore all the artificial smells you put on your body, you will sense the exact smell of your body. Once you recognize the smell of your body, switch over to the fragrance of different perfumes, try them one by one or select any one at random, and use it to see how your body responds to it; if both the smell of skin and the perfume is blending properly then this perfume is correct for your skin. It is also fine if you take three to four different fragrances, before selecting the best, as it may help you in making your final choice.

Remember, your presence is important for you as well as others. Do not forget that it is really essential to smell good and smell correct. Once you know about the nature of the scent of your body, you should go for the smell of the perfume accordingly, as it not only affects your mind and nature, but also affects other's mode as well. So in order to have right perfume, you should rightly know thy scent.

Most perfumes have a three-part smell, which unfolds after you apply it to your skin. You smell top notes within the first 15 minutes of applying. These chemicals first evaporate off your skin. Designers often put weird, unpleasant or spicy smells in this phase so that they interest you but don't hang around long enough to offend. Heart notes appear after 3 to 4 hours. The chemicals creating these smells evaporate more slowly from your skin. They're probably what you remember about the perfume; if it's a floral perfume, flowery smells go here. Base notes stick stubbornly to your skin. You smell them within 5 to 8 hours of application Musky, watery, mossy and woody chemicals often go in the base. By the way the word note is just perfume jargon for an individual smell.

Knowing that perfumes smell by evaporating, you can take better care in applying them. When applying, spread the perfume, but don't rub it in vigorously, because the heat you create will evaporate the top notes and weaken the overall smell.

Your temperature and oiliness seem most important. The top notes will evaporate faster from warm and dry skin than cool and oily skin. Otherwise, by the time the heart notes emerge, the perfume smells the same on everyone.
