how to sample and evaluate perfumes to choose the perfect scent

EMBARK ON AN ELECTIMUSS DISCOVERY

It’s easy to get stuck in a rut with perfume, find a signature scent and stick to it. But perfume, like fashion, should be all about self-expression. Experimenting with different scents means you will find and collect perfumes to suit different moods, styles, seasons, and occasions. We are wired to respond instinctively and emotionally to our sense of smell and that reaction is instantaneous, but scents evolve and change completely over time, so taking time to slow down and listen to our noses is the key to finding a fragrance you love.

So, what’s the best way to find new perfumes without making expensive mistakes? The key is to give it some time and attention and enjoy the olfactory journey. Learn how below…
