15 Reasons Why Perfume is Important! [Wish I Knew THESE Benefits!]

Have you ever walked into a room and someone was wearing a perfume that smelled so wonderful it made your head turn? If not, then you are missing out on one of the many benefits of using perfume. 

In this blog post, I am going to share 13 different reasons why everyone should be wearing perfume every day! So, let’s get started.

1. Perfume can Help you Feel More Confident!

Smelling nice can directly help with your confidence levels.

If someone walks into an interview with confidence they have already won halfway through!  It can be hard to find self-confidence in this day and age because there are so many things going on. But smelling good could help boost those levels for sure.

If you are wearing a perfume that is your favorite scent, then it will remind you of happy memories and it will make you feel more confident!

Being confident can go a long way in any situation.

So, if you are looking for a way to feel more confident in any situation, then perhaps it is time that you start wearing perfume. It will not only help with your confidence but also leave a good first impression!

2. Perfumes can Make Your Clothes Smell Better

Another benefit of using perfume is that it can also make your clothes smell better!

Some people just don’t like to carry the smell of their laundry detergent! So, a quick fix to that is using perfume! Furthermore, not only can you get rid of the detergent smell, but you can also sometimes make your clothes smell like your perfume even if you haven’t really used it that day!

If you are someone who likes to use perfume on clothes, then you probably would have noticed that some fragrances can remain even after a considerable amount of time.

Making your clothes smell like your perfume, while a deterrent to some, is actually a great advantage to many!

3. Perfumes can Help Mask Unpleasant Body Odors

It is quite common knowledge that using perfume doesn’t directly prevent the foul smell of your body odor. That’s what deodorants are for!

But, using perfume can help to make you smell nice, even if you are not wearing deodorant. The reason for this is that people are more likely to notice the more pleasant smell of your perfume first!

This is a great way to cover up any unpleasant smells, and also make yourself feel more confident

That said, it is obviously highly recommended to perhaps take a shower before you apply perfume and you begin your day. Doing so can not only make the perfume last longer, but will also make you feel fresh.

4. Perfume Fragrance can Trigger Fond Memories!

There are times in our lives when we feel nostalgic. We want to remember the happy moments of our lives!

Interestingly, the sense of smell can greatly help us relive our memories. The way we are able to do that is because of the power of association in our brain!

When we smell something that we are familiar with, our brain immediately starts forming an image in our head! Essentially, smell triggers memories!

The scent from perfume or cologne that you wear may remind you of a loved one, or even about an event that you enjoyed!

This is also one of the reasons why many people choose to use perfumes as gifts for loved ones because they know that the person is bound to have many memories (hopefully good ones) attached to them.

5. You can Signal Your Mood with a Perfume

Another benefit of using perfume is that it allows you to send out a signal to the people around you.

During the evening, people prefer using perfumes like Pure Poison by Christian Dior [on amazon], which are darker and have heavier base notes.

When you wake in the morning, using floral or citrus scents can signal a happy and clean vibe.

Similarly, men and women wear different types of perfume to indicate their gender.

Women are known to like finer scents on them. Whereas, men prefer to wear Eau de Cologne which usually has more woody scents.

Furthermore, age is also sometimes signified by perfume. Therefore, marketers target sweeter perfumes for teenagers. Chanel No. 5 has been associated with older, classier women. In fact, there is a complete category of perfume that targets older women called “Old Women Perfume”.

When you wear perfume, it can help people remember who they are and what their personality is like!  This allows them be more memorable in society as well because of how unique an individual’s scent may smell when compared with others’. It also gives off your mood or feelings at that point which could make

6. Perfume can Make you Seem Elite and Educated

Since perfume is usually associated with luxury, when you are wearing a good perfume and wearing it correctly, you signal that you know how to dress and that you understand and appreciate finer things in life.

Furthermore, since perfumes are usually more expensive than a body spray and a deodorant, it also shows that you are perhaps more invested in yourself.

All this makes you come across as not only elite but also educated about luxury.

7. Perfume is a Way to Express Yourself

Wearing perfume is often quite a personal choice.

A perfume that smells nice on someone else may not necessarily smell the same on you! This is because the body chemistry caused when the perfume mixes with the oils present on your skin is different from person to person!

Since the perfume you wear is going to be unique to you, it is a great way to express yourself and stand out from the crowd!

Additionally, if you want to be more unique with your fragrances, you can try layering perfume to get just the right fragrance for you!

All this can help you set your personality and style apart from the rest of society!

8. Perfume can Help with Your Mood and Energy Levels

One thing that people often forget is that you are going to be the one who gets to smell your fragrance the most; more than any other person!

So it is sometimes important to consider this factor, and wear fragrances to influence your mood rather than to affect the mood of others!

Certain types of perfumes can make you feel happy. It can also give a sense of calm and increase your energy levels.

This is one of the key reasons why spas and salons use aromatic substances to make you feel more upbeat and elevate your mood.

Perfumes are also known to help you destress.

9. Wearing Perfumes can Get You Compliments!

Who doesn’t like to get compliments?

As an avid perfume user, I can safely say that wearing a perfume that suits your style can actually get you a ton of compliments from others!

Even though sometimes others may choose to not give the compliment, your perfume will definitely create a positive impression!

Regardless of whether you receive the compliment, when you use perfume, it will most definitely create a positive emotion in the people around you; sometimes without them even realizing it!

10. Perfumes are Great for a Date!

It is needless to say that using perfume for a date is a great idea. It is a way to make the other person feel special and get them in your good books!

Using perfumes at a party can help break down barriers and make it easier to connect with others especially in social settings. It can help you get a conversation started even with people you are not friends with.

Additionally, certain perfume types are specifically designed for a romantic date. There is a whole category of perfumes dedicated to those. These are called “Pheromones Perfume”! 

11. Some Perfumes can Help Mask Cigarette Smell

If you are a smoker, one thing that may often bother you is the smell of cigarette smoke that often sticks to you and your clothes, and that leads to a lot of people avoiding you.

However, there is a solution to this problem and that’s perfume! Certain perfumes can help mask the smell so it won’t bother anyone around as much anymore. This will also make your life easier in ways more than one.

Moreover, using perfumes that can help you mask this cigarette smell is especially important when you are in a social setting such as a wedding or a networking event!

If you are looking for perfumes that can help mask the smell of cigarette smoke, then I recommend checking out these: Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue (for Women) Eau De Toilette Spray (100ml) or Chanel No 19 Poudre Universelle Libre T

12. Wearing Perfume Makes it Easier for People to Remember You

I don’t know about you, but I really struggle with remembering the faces of people! I don’t really have a great recall based on my sense of sight especially when it comes to the faces of others!

But, my brain is quite good with creating associates with other senses; especially with the sense of smell!

That is true for a lot of people! Thus, wearing a distinct perfume that is unique to you, can actually help others relate to you and remember who you are.

People will be able to identify your scent as soon as they see you again! This is especially helpful if someone has trouble remembering names or faces easily like my grandmother.

13. Perfumes Can Help You Sleep Better

It is common knowledge that certain fragrances can help you sleep better.

In fact, many of us like to spray fragrances on our pillow and bed linens so that we can be in a happy state before we sleep off. The idea is that being happy before sleeping would lead to a good sleep1

Fragrances help you experience deeper sleep and relaxation. Lavender, for instance, is known to help people fall off to sleep. Furthermore, Rose and Chamomile are also known to soothe the nerves and help you relax. In fact, some people also claim to use these perfumes to relax sore muscles.

There are certain scents that are also considered as an aphrodisiac. Such fragrances can definitely help you spend some quality time with your partner at night and promote happiness and overall well-being.

14. Perfume is Great for a Job Interview

Making a good first impression at a job interview is important, and perfumes can help you do just that!

Perfume can not only help you feel confident and smell great but it also leaves a good first impression; sometimes even before you have spoken a word!

One thing that you want to remember is to not wear very loud perfume as that can be a turn-off quite quickly!

You can go with a CK One, or Davidoff which are nice cool fragrances and work for both men and women.

My personal favorite perfume to wear to an interview is Burberry. It just makes me feel happy and confident!

15. Perfumes Make You Feel More Attractive and Release Endorphins

Another great advantage of using perfume is that it helps you feel more attractive!

Now there are times when someone just says things to impact your motivation. As a result, you may feel low on confidence to an extent that you start thinking negatively about yourself and your personality.

Regardless of what others think, wearing perfume can make you feel more attractive and release endorphins. It doesn’t really matter whether you actually look attractive or not.

The fact is – if you feel and believe that you are attractive, then you definitely come across someone who is attractive!

Remember – wearing perfume can release endorphins in your body, and this is a great way to boost your confidence!

BONUS – Perfumes can Help you Smell Good For Hours! (Without Worrying about Reapplying)

One of the other benefits of using perfume is that it can help you smell good for a considerable amount of time!

As opposed to a deodorant, which usually lasts for 1 to 2 hours, a perfume can easily last you a day depending on the type of perfume you are using!

This really works in the favor of those of you who are always on the go and perhaps don’t have time to reapply fragrances through the day! Moreover, it helps you avoid having to carry deodorant throughout the day

Using perfume is also great for those who are always on the go and don’t have time to reapply.

I hope I’ve convinced at least one person out there who wasn’t sure before whether to use perfume or not!
