A few perfume facts:
CK One is unisex, it’s a very nice perfume loaded with amber. Smell your shirt the day after wearing CK One to get the amber, a lovely zingy zesty smell.
Most perfumes don’t interact with your body odour because they are just too strong. However some people do find that certain smells work better on them and that’s mostly to do with diet – in parts of the world where spicy food is eaten, you will never find spicy oriental perfumes like Opium or Shalimar; most people use florals.
Some “masculine” poerfumes like JPG Le Male and Rochas Pour Homme are so feminine that women can often wear them. Others like the vetiverts and colognes are unisex and some aromatic fresh masculine fragrances like 212 for Men smell good on women.
The great smell of WD40 is actually a very very low cost Shalimar.
Keep expensive perfumes in the fridge to prevent spoilage by UV light and oxidation.
Never re-apply a perfume during the evening because you think it is getting weak; it’s your nose that is becoming saturated. Some raw materials like the synthetic musk used in White Musk are fatiguing. If you reapply a perfume you destroy the “sillage” which is the evolution of the notes as it evaporates and you will overwhelm everybody else in the room.
Chanel V was created in 1921 and is still in the world top 10 selling perfumes, which makes it a design classic.
Late PS: Africans have more and bigger sweat glands than Caucasians (Europe and India) and they have more and bigger than Asians (China) so Africans generally use stronger perfumes. Meat does not rot in your guts, you would die if it did.
