But besides the fact that the fragrance should be in harmony with your nature, it should also be appropriate in the environment in which you are. We all pay great attention to clothing. For example, you know that you can not wear sneakers to the Bolshoi Theatre, and to civil service in tights in the net. Same with perfume.





Now in the beauty and fashion industry there is the concept of an olfactory wardrobe, which consists of fragrances. You need to choose it like clothes – for each case your own. Editorial "Site" He will tell you in detail about perfume etiquette so that you feel comfortable in any society and under any circumstances.

Our people are used to the fact that the more, the better. If you apply perfume, so that even on the next street it can be heard by passers-by. But "too bright" is not always synonymous with "good." Many people think that they are strong and persistent. plume - it's a sign of status. But this rule is more for the East, because their perfumes are always very rich. For Europe and the US, too strong aroma is an invasion of someone else’s personal space.





We will not go into the history of perfumery and analyze what perfumes were created for. But now they have the character of individuality and a necessary complement in our business world. The perfect perfume A modern city dweller is simple, understandable, but at the same time interesting sounding.





Etiquette was invented to make interaction between people and the environment pleasant and easy. On the same principle, perfume etiquette is built. Each case has its own category of smells. Remember the main rule: where you do not speak loudly, do not smell much. For example, in the temple, hospital, library. Only galleries and museums can serve as exceptions: huge halls neutralize any excesses. Now let’s look at where and what flavor is appropriate.





Perfume etiquette

1. Work.
   The main rule is that perfume notes should not reach your boss or potential employer faster than your words. But that also doesn’t mean senior managers can afford heavy spirits. In business etiquette, perfume has nothing to do with power and domination. Of course, there are areas (art, cinema, etc.) where perfume liberties are allowed. But if a person wears a suit or uniform, then the perfume should be light and unobtrusive, like a white shirt. Since in the XXI century it is not customary to smell anything, supplement your business image with a light perfume with citrus or powder notes or unobtrusive toilet water. The fragrance should sit close to the skin.
   
   
   
   
   
   
2. A date.
   The closer the relationship, the more self-expression can be allowed. But on first dates, you should not suffocate very plume and sweet perfumes. They can just scare off the gentleman. There are no rules in love, so choose your perfume. Consider what aromas the partner uses himself, what he eats, what lifestyle he leads. It is proved that men most like powder fragrances, with vanilla in the base.
   
   
   
   
   
   
3. Party
   It is believed that evening aromas should be heavy and plume. But in everything, the venue plays a role. If it is a gallery or just a large space with creative people, a party in a restaurant for a birthday, you can choose a perfume that will blow off. But if you are in a theater or opera, it is better to choose a spirit calm and sitting close to the skin, otherwise the tragedy will happen much earlier.
   
   
   
   
   
   
4. Dinner.
   Once the French invented spikes, hence the spike flavors. These are notes of moss, oak and lavender, which are so wonderfully combined with notes of cheese and wine. This idea was picked up by other countries, because it is no secret that the classical schools of perfumery are inextricably linked with national cuisine. In the Italian perfume tradition - citrus, tomatoes, basil, pepper, mint. American perfumes smell of musky purity, cinnamon, cloves, spices - they play wonderfully in tandem with notes of apple pie or baked turkey.
   
   So keep that in mind when you're going to a restaurant, especially a luxury one. When fragrance tries to argue with high gastronomy and expensive wines, it is disrespect for others and perfume egoism.
   
   
   
   
   
   
5. Journey
   The rule is rigid and undeniable: no perfume on the plane. But alas, the presence of rare and niche brands in duty free is too great a temptation. So you can't resist spraying yourself with something, spray perfume on your wrist and enjoy yourself. But before boarding the plane, it is better to wash them off the skin. This gesture will show respect for others. In addition, many consider the plane not the most pleasant place where breathtaking, nausea, angina may occur. Extra difficulty in the form of a suffocating plume here to nothing.
   
   
   
   
   
   
6. Sport
   There are two options: no fragrance at all, or cologne. The latter is good because it sits close to the skin, and in addition tones and invigorates. Citrus notes give a charge of energy, stimulate endurance and sports excitement. Another little-known option is perfume talcs. In addition to giving a pleasant aroma of freshness, they also absorb excess moisture from the skin.
