Does your odortype impact
how perfume and aftershave scents work on your body versus another’s body? The
general consensus seems to be ‘yes,’ at some level, although with newer methods
of preparation perhaps not as much as it used to be in the past. Nevertheless,
a study by Andrew McDougall, a leading scientist, concluded that people pick
their perfume not only for its fragrance but also for how it will interact with
their underlying body odor. (http://www.cosmeticsdesign-europe.com/Formulation-Science/Body-odour-actually-complements-the-fragrance-you-wear).
Many factors can impact how a specific
fragrance smells in combination with your own chemical makeup, so selecting a fragrance
by sniffing the bottle doesn’t tell you how that scent will smell on your skin.
Factors may include the ambient temperature in the environment as well as your
own body temperature, gender and race, medications you may be taking, what you
eat, whether or not you are perspiring, if your skin is dry or normal or oily,
and if you have used lotion prior to spraying on a fragrance or splashing on aftershave.
And the scent tends to change over the course of time, too, meaning that the
scent of the fragrance initially may be quite different from what you perceive a
couple hours later.
