I was at a Fedex the other day and I noticed the perfume of the woman helping me. It wasn’t unpleasant, but it didn’t blow me away either. It was just a generic semi-pleasant smell. I thought back to when a girl got into my Uber a while ago. I don’t know what she was wearing but it was amazing. It immediately knocked her up a couple of points on the attractive scale.
When you buy a scent, remember this is what you smell like to people, it becomes part of who you are. There is something very intimate about the sense of smell, so it’s important to really spend some time choosing a scent. Smells trigger emotions and memories more than any other sense.
I remember when I was watching Return of the Jedi in the theater, someone was wearing some perfume, what it was I have no idea, but to this day, every few years, I’ll catch a whiff of whatever it was and be taken right back to when I was a little boy in that theater.
Whether you’re just buying one, or you have a large collection, make sure you take the time to decide on each scent. Try it on first, wear it around for a few days, make sure when you put it on you’re looking forward to it, and when you get that first whiff you love it.
