The selection of our scents is not accidental. Subconsciously we choose perfumes or fragrances that are appropriate to our psyche due to deep psychological motivation. If the scent is selected for being fashionable or “like my friends,” it probably won’t be associated with you by other people. The fact is, the fragrances we like should be true to our own characteristics.

So, look at yourself!

Aromas that are sweet and harmonious are for people who are romantic, delicate, dreamy, good-natured, sweet, and perhaps somewhat egocentric. They are characterized by a platonic speculative attitude to life that causes others to want to guide and protect them.

Aromas of light characteristics are for people who are inhibited, waiting for a pleasant change in life, and perhaps wanting to evoke sympathy to their plight. For such a person, as a rule, corresponds with low energy.

Fresh aromas are attractive to people who consider life at the moment, to be difficult. The more intractable the problem, the more delicate and fresh scent the person chooses. The physiological motivation for a fresh aroma occurs in people wanting to uplift themselves and loved ones.

Green and sour aromas are harmonious to pragmatic and practical people — those who believe a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. They’re not going to get involved in the adventure, and a significant portion of their domestic life is characterized by such concepts as duty, loyalty, and responsibility.

Floral scents attract unhappy people. In particular, those who are dissatisfied with their appearance, financial situation, or position in the family or society. Surrendering to their situation, these people are likely to remain indifferent on the surface and to follow the principle of accepting what is; but inside, they maintain a glimmer of hope despite the outward appearance of acceptance.

The tart characteristics of scents are for strong and passionate people who love adventure and risks. They wouldn’t normally show timidity or caution, although exhaustion is sometimes inherent in them because of such a stimulating lifestyle.

Spicy aromas attract people for whom the basic premise is movement of life and good luck. Although usually such people do not always understand their motives.

Balsamic flavors are a favorite of logically minded people. These people interpret information, processing it with their own way of thinking, and make conclusions based only on their own beliefs and experience. They are usually closed minded people who are difficult to change.

Aromas of resin and wood are harmonious for people who live a contemplative, yet active life, driven by creativity and the desire for personal growth.

Bitter flavors are loved by prolific people with extraordinary abilities and talents. Such people do not like monotony and boredom and are able to work, preferably under pressure, rather than with relaxation and leisure. They are interested in recognition and fame.

Aromas of wet characteristics are for manifesting outrageous people. This psychotype meets egocentrism, mannerisms, sincere forgiveness of the sins of others and confidence only in what has already been.

The dry characteristics of scents are for people who are sociable, sincere, love to talk, and dramatic. The concept of time does not concern them, rather, such a person meets the criteria of the current fact and opinion, relevant to his social circle. They are usually very pleasant, sociable, and harmonious. They are easy to change.

Peppery aromas are liked by people who cannot live without loud music, lively conversation, and who have an outstanding temperament and a keen sense of self-worth. They are able to be deeply committed to a cause. In this case, the comfort and material well-being is a natural need, contributing to their intellectual and spiritual growth. They may also genuinely and selflessly want to help others.

Even though certain aromas suit specific psychotypes the interpretation of the fragrances can change based on the person’s psyche. For example, fear causes some acidity in the tart flavor, and a passionate desire gives tartness to the sweet flavor.
