"Ummmm.... THAT smells good!" A stroll through the
spacious paths at Tropicana Perfume Shoppe's, Inc. nets a variety of
"Ahhhh's," "Ohhhhh's," and "Yes, Yes, Yeses!" But more than a
brief sniff, there is an art to selecting your own special
fragrance and Mrs. Roth is more than willing to share her ideas
with her customers.
- Spritz the fragrance on a pulse point -- your wrist for
example.
- Experiment with no more than four fragrances at once. The
olfactory nerve has a breakdown when more than four scents are
introduced at once.
- Allow the fragrance to settle into your skin. This means
that you'll need 15 to 20 minutes for your body chemistry to
react with the fragrance And, yes, the same fragrance does
smell differently on different people.
- Find your "fragrance direction." That is, determine whether
you like a floral scent, a heavier oriental fragrance or a
fresher "green" perfume -- then purchase your fragrance in that
family.
With your own fragrance prize securely in hand, you are
ready to move on to an even bigger challenge. How do you select
a perfume that your own special someone is sure to like.
Estelle Roth is once again to the rescue with
tips on how to choose perfume for someone else.

Else.
