Avoid scents that pin you down to your past in a negative way: So, as I said if the scent has association with some bad phase in life or an ex you think you are done with, please do not take the risk. Scents have a unique way of bringing up repressed emotions to the surface in a subtle way. So mind you! Also do have in mind that you have the freedom to venture out into newer aromas as a part of discovering yourself. But if any scent brings you good memories of your childhood like the one your dearest granny used or the one you would put when hanging out with your friends etc, grab it. Brand and price should not be the criteria for the selection of perfumes: Some people settle in for some perfumes because they are pricey. Tell me how many can tell the brand you sprayed on? I rest my case there. And do note that scents should bring pleasantness in you as well as those you are closely interacting with. You need to be in the best of spirits when in company of others, so that you can uplift their mood as well. See how the perfume acts with your original body scent to bring out a better scent that is pleasing to the olfactory system. Also need to mention that buying fragrances online without being familiar with the brand or the fragrance line, should be discouraged. NON-ATHEIST, Aug 2018 37
