Perfume 101 : How to Choose the Perfect Fragrance for Evening Wear
When the day starts melting into the night, the scents that abound you also change. The temperature decreases and the stress from work starts to simmer down as well. This leads to an uptick in the mood from a rather lousy and stressful afternoon. This time of the day is not as energetic as the morning but is a notch higher than the dampened spirits in the afternoon.
Evening moods are very live in the moment like as the day is about to end as compared to the morning mood where your thinking is futuristic as to how your day will go on. This also helps in defining the scents that will enliven your spirits and are well suited for the surroundings you will be in through the night.
Evening scents are usually heavier , smokier and muskier scents that last longer and are more evident than perfumes used in the mornings. They have a little more heft to it and thus are better suited for evening wear where the projection and sillage are supposed to be strong .
