It was researched that the choice of fragrance depends upon other senses, psychological and emotional needs. Perfume helps us to identify and emphasize our moods and feelings, and even express them. Usually our mood varies, it can be either good or normal or bad. To express our emotional state we can apply different perfumes. The choice of smell is the same as the colours and clothes we wear.

* Young, or women who feel them young at heart; reserved and calm women, who like to be alone, like oriental fragrances with a heavy sweetness;
* Extroverted, impulsive and spontaneous women, who like activity and change, prefer fresh floral fragrances with notes of pineapple, raspberry, blackcurrant and peach;
* Emotional ambivalent women, who want to have their life established in a certain order, prefer floral oriental perfumes that combine earthy and sweet notes;
* Mature worldly women choose perfumes with powdery flowery notes combined with balsamic intrigue;
* Emotionally stable, extroverted women prefer chypre fragrances that are the combinations of oak moss, say, bergamot freshness.
