why do people spray perfume on themselves?

Answer 1

Some do it to try and cover up their BO! It just makes it more nauseating.

Answer 2

We are living in a fast paced society. Naturally, we would like to put forward the best possible aspect or side of our personality when we meet others.To this extent, I think we dress according to the occassion as I believe good packaging of a good thing or product or a person also counts . If you are dressed well & you know you are looking good, you are confident .To this end PERFUMES play an important part. Not just are they practical to clamofauge body odour after a busy day ,they work towards MAKING YOU FEEL GOOD & LIFT YOUR MOOD. A good quality fragrance can last you throughout the day.

I am sure you have heard of AROMA THERAPY as a beauty aid.It is believed that fragrance can uplift moods hence we send flowers to the sick.

On a personal note , I love fragrances of any family.You must be aware that fragrances are mainly of SIX categories :

1 . CITRUS
2. GRASS
3. FLORAL
4. ORIENTAL
5. CHYPRE
6. FOUGERE

The best way to find your perfume is by testing the fragrance on your skin and living with the fragrance awhile. Only then will you know if the fragrance is right for the occasion.A variety of different fragrance types is less fatiguing to the sense of smell. When perfumes are very different you can try five to six; when they are similar, only two to three. Heavier scents tire your nose more quickly so when sampling always begin with lighter scents.
fragrances can smell differently on different people. Everyone has their own body chemistry and individual smell. A fragrance scent depends on both the condition of the skin and the individual's diet

The sense of smell becomes quickly fatigued. After a period of smelling a fragrance you become used to it and may not be able to smell the scent. The scent is still there and is very strong for others.
A good rule of thumb is to stay with a classic fragrance. A fragrance that has been on the market for decades is not as risky as new fragrances on the market.the ideal storage condition for perfume is room temperature.When a perfume becomes thick, its color changes drastically, and there is a sour smell upon opening, this means the perfume has deteriorated.

Apply directly to pulse points--inside the wrist, behind the ears, at the temples, behind the knees, the back of the neck, the cleavage area, between the toes, ankles, and thighs.

Answer 3

Well, its a natural behavior. Men and women always want to be attractive to each other. Its very natural and scientific. Our body secrets perspiration which is if left for long in a humid and dusty weather, can become a good media for growth of micro-organisms. This makes some ill smelling substances, which some times makes us smelly and non attractive. To eliminate this people spray perfumes on themselves.

And also, since good smells influence our manner and behavior, perfumes are used as room fresheners.

By the way Rohan's answer made me laugh.

Answer 4

For the allure.
I assumed people put fragrances on AFTER a bath, but from some of these answers I gather a lot of people go around unclean.
I like to wear a subtle perfume.
It makes me feel sexy and attractive,and a great esteem booster.

Have a great day!
