Wearing perfume and cologne
When it comes to perfume and cologne, there are a few simple things people should understand. The most basic thing is the reason we use it. Next is how your smell can affect your identity, how people perceive you. And finally, these products are no longer luxuries they once were, even though they are often marketed as such. The goal here is to open up your mind a little to the impact perfume and cologne can have on a day to day basis.
While perfume and cologne has been used throughout history for various reasons, in our culture everybody obviously knows it’s simply to smell good. Smelling good is so basic it’s part of the overwhelming majority of people’s basic routine alongside looking good. The main reason for this is confidence. And truthfully, smelling good, and knowing it, is a bigger confidence booster than good looks. This leads us to our next point.
Think about how a good looking person instantly becomes less attractive, even repulsive, the moment you detect a bad smell emanating from that person, but how the opposite isn’t true at all. By this we mean that a person you may not find physically attractive, but smells good, can suddenly become more attractive than a good looking person. That’s the power of scents. The nose has more influence over judgment than the eye. So why do people spend so much more on beauty products?
Granted, you could spend a lot on one bottle of scented liquid. But over the past century, the varieties of brands that have emerged have created a natural decline in price. Of course, as with any line of product, there will always be that upper class fragment. But with perfume and cologne, this doesn’t mean better quality. Each person can have a different reaction to each fragrance. Not only that, as individuals, we are all different. Therefore, what we wear should reflect who we are or how we feel, not how much we have.
So next time you search for that perfect smell, remember to find something you will feel comfortable wearing, knowing it describes your true self. And if that perfect one is out of your budget, understand there is probably something very similar for less. And hopefully, wearing something expensive isn’t part of what makes you feel comfortable and confident.
