Have you ever noticed that fragrances smell differently on your skin than they did when you were testing them in the store?
So, why does this happen?
The way that a fragrance smells depends on many different factors.
Some of these factors are your skin chemistry, body temperature, hormone levels, and diet.
Everyone’s skin chemistry and hormone levels are unique, so a fragrance will smell differently on one person compared to another.
Body temperature affects the projection of the scent. As your body temperature rises, the fragrance comes out stronger.
Additionally, certain foods like spicy foods, onions, and broccoli can alter how the fragrance smells.
Keep these factors in mind next time you are shopping for fragrances, and remember to test them on your skin for a few hours before making a decision!
