In this article, I want to find out from you, the reader, if you wear perfume and also share with you the benefits of wearing perfume.

It’s no surprise that the perfume industry is enormous. Valued at 50.85 billion USD in 2022, its annual growth rate of 5.9% is expected from this year (2023) to 2030.

Every other person is wearing a fragrance, whether a celebrity-endorsed perfume or aftershave, cheap copies of designer fragrances or ones bought from companies that sell designer-inspired fragrances such as FM WORLD.

The benefits of wearing perfume

Many of us wear fragrance for various reasons, from giving confidence to going for a job interview, so let’s take a look at the benefits of wearing the perfect scent.

Confidence

Everyone needs confidence at some point in their lives, and whilst some almost have it naturally built into them, some need a little extra help to give them the positive boost that anything is possible. Confidence does come from within and often from an early age. Those around us can have a significant impact on how we feel, whether it be negative or positive. As we get older, we grow in confidence as once tricky things become more accessible as we age.

At the start of the day, spritzing your favourite perfume is like putting on your best clothes and doing your hair. We always feel more confident when we look smart, and wearing a gorgeous scent helps to boost that confidence enough to get through the day.

Memories

Life is full of good and bad memories, and wearing perfume perhaps reminds you of a place you loved visiting, a loved one who’s passed away, or a happy time in your life.

Such perfume can bring back those memories that can also assist with how we feel inside and our confidence, as mentioned earlier.

Date night

Whether it’s a first date with someone new or a partner you’ve been married to for 20 years, that extra boost of your favourite perfume works wonders. Even better, if you know the kind of fragrance they enjoy, you can set the scene for a lovely evening for two.

Job interview:

Over the years, many job interviews have been conducted by telephone, but at some point, we still need to see an employer face-to-face.

It’s not just about smart clothing and a clean-shaven, tidy hairstyle that counts and makes a good impression.

Wearing your favourite perfume or aftershave to a job interview isn’t a 100% guarantee that you’ll get the job, but the employer will certainly remember you for the scent you’re wearing.

Less is more, so a light spray of a delicate fragrance is most suited.

Uplifting:

Many of us who wear a fragrance daily will know that it has become part of our daily routine. Just like showering and spraying on deodorant, adding a touch of our favourite scent is uplifting and puts us in a better mood. Some, like myself, will wear perfume daily, no matter what we do.

Whether it’s going straight to work or a little spritz on a Sunday just for chilling around the home, it’s a part of us, and there are so many fragrances suitable when the occasion doesn’t require anything too strong.

Body sprays are also a perfect choice if perfume seems too much for that particular day.

Freshen clothes

With the cost of living nowadays, we are sometimes encouraged to wear the same pair of jeans or jumper for more than one day so that the washing machine isn’t on longer than needed.

Therefore, some people spray their clothes with perfume to give them a fresh feel for the second day.

I recommend spraying the perfume into the air and walking through with your clothes on rather than spraying your clothes directly to ensure that the mist doesn’t damage any of the fabric.

Personal hygiene

Many products are on the market today, and layering fragrances has become popular, too.

Sometimes, just spraying deodorant before we set off for the day isn’t enough, so a little spritz of perfume or aftershave can make us smell even cleaner and fresher.

Signature scent

Lots of men and women have a signature scent, which they wear every day without fail. Of course, this has benefits. Having a familiar smell makes you more recognisable.

I would always say if you have a signature scent, be mindful of how much you spray. If you wear it daily, you are likely to be very used to the scent and, therefore, won’t smell its strength. This can lead to more of the perfume being sprayed and becoming a little overwhelming for others around you.

Aromatherapy

The benefits of aromatherapy are huge, from skincare issues to health and well-being. Many perfumes are built up with fragrance notes that we use in aromatherapy. So, for example, if you need a calming fragrance, choose a perfume with lavender, Ylang-ylang, or bergamot.

Desirability

I remember the days when I was young and single, going out to nightclubs and pubs with my friends and carefully choosing a fragrance that could potentially enchant the opposite sex.

I wanted something soft and not too overpowering, yet a fragrance that would last the whole evening so that I didn’t feel the need to reapply.

Pheromone fragrances are also popular to increase desirability, and these senses work with your natural body odour.

Use Pheromones to attract the opposite sex.

Similar to hormones, pheromones work outside of the body. They increase sexual arousal in individuals.

A better night’s sleep

Some people wear a fragrance in bed to help with a restful night’s sleep.

Perfumes with lavender, frankincense, and Ylang Ylang can help reduce stress, switch off the mind, and provide relief from mental health conditions. Therefore, they can help you let your mind switch off, and your body relax to get a good night’s rest.

Advertising:

If, like me, you work within the perfume industry, wearing a fragrance and a different one daily can help you sell a product.

Someone could comment on what perfume you are wearing, allowing you to let them try a sample if you have one or a spray of the bottle if you have one in your handbag.

I always recommend trying a perfume before you purchase it, no matter how much it costs, as not all scents are suitable for everybody’s skin.

Eliminate odours

Smokers who may have cigarette smoke lingering on their clothes may feel that spraying perfume regularly on their skin will eliminate such odours. Perfume can mask unwanted smells as long as the fragrance is not heavily sprayed. This can sometimes lead to the worst mixture of scents, so be careful if you try this.

You don’t even need to be a smoker to catch the smell of nicotine on your clothes and hair, either.

A short visit to a customer’s home recently, where they were both heavy smokers, left my clothes, coat and hair smelling of tobacco.

It was not a pleasant aroma, and I had to fix it quickly. I sprayed a few sprays of FM World’s body spray into the air, and I walked through the mist.

Smell gorgeous

It’s as simple as that: to smell gorgeous. Many people wear fragrances because they like to smell feminine or masculine, and it takes them to a happy place. Especially when those around them complement their choice of fragrance and say, “You smell nice. What are you wearing?”

Express individuality

We all like to be unique in many ways, so having a particular fragrance or choice puts us in that bubble of individuality.

It is a place where we can feel uplifted, confident, sensual, and glamorous with a spritz of a bottle.

Everyone loves a compliment, too, and if you happen to be wearing a popular scent that others recognise and receive a compliment, it can only be a good thing.
