The purpose of this article is to give a few tips on the correct application and use of fragrance for both men and women. The first thing is that you should think of fragrance as a weapon that you use to influence the reactions of other people. fragrance is your ally. It can't do the job all alone but it will certainly help you if you use it wisely. 

Every good soldier takes the time to check his weapon before he goes to battle to make sure that it is properly loaded and functioning. He will take the time to ensure that each part of that weapon is in good working condition, clean, and oiled. The point is that you should take a little time to insure that you apply fragrance properly. You should make sure that the fragrance that you use agrees with your body chemistry. You should make sure that the fragrance is blended to give an essence of the character that you want to portray. The time of day that you wear the fragrance is a major detail along with the weather, the occasion, and the time of year.

The fragrance that you wear has an effect on the people that you come into contact with. That effect is either favorable or negative. There is no in between. when people associate your presence with a certain aroma it defines you to them. Have you ever met someone for the first time that had a strong body odor? What about bad breath? The impression that they made probably stuck with you for a very long time. I imagine the next time that you saw them the first thing that you thought about was the negative image that the bad odor gave you. Suppose you just caught them on a bad day? Even if that was the case the negative impression defined ythem to you.

The opposite can be true if you use fragrance to your advantage. If you take the time and check out these tips they will help you tremendously when it comes to using fragrance. If you associate a significant fragrance with a person that you may have known in life you will immediately have a positive impression of a new person that you meet wearing the same fragrance. You can ruin a good thing by improper application. Too much of a good fragrance will be a turn off just like a bad odor. The right fragrance can be wrong if it is applied at the wrong time.

There may be a time when you want to apply a fragrance after a shower, or to your hair. Sometimes you may want to use a little bit on your clothes rather than your body. Yet again there may be a time when you will have to time the application of your fragrance precisely with the time of a date. You may want the second or third note of the fragrance to impress your date so you will have to know how long each note lasts and the precise time that the next note will kick in. Sometimes you may need to refresh the fragrance. You will need to know exactly when to do this so that you will be able to get the maximum effect. If this is what you decide to do you will need to carry a small amount of scented oil in your pocket.

Remember with the use of colognes and scented oils body heat activates the fragrance. Apply the fragrance to pulse points in order to get the greatest effect. Pulse points are places where the veins are close to the skin. These are the warmer areas of the body. Test the fragrance that you intend to use and note the reactions that you get from other people. This is the best indicator of how it works for you. You need to get their opinion at different times of the day so that you can know how each note works with you. Once you gain experience you will have mastered the use of the weapon of fragrance. .
