While the idea is certainly very novel and the gift idea is really very cute and sweet, there is an inherent problem with basing a perfume mix in the personality of an individual. Perfumes and colognes create a unique perfume for anyone who uses them, because the fragrance mix directly with the body's natural chemistry and pheromones. No single perfume or cologne will smell exactly the same on two different people, because their body chemistry too unique. No matter what perfume or cologne that you buy, the end result is something that is already customized.

These small businesses are doing quite well, however, based on the uniqueness of the idea and hope that the perfume or cologne purchased will make the recipient feel special. Web sites ask for a basic list of the person's personality, and then a list of fragrances they already wear. They need this second list to match a scent that is not on the list with a complimentary fragrance and simply bottle into a personalized bottle to ship off. By law they are required to alter, so there is a good chance of making their own versions of popular brands and then remarket, or otherwise alter the basic brands that are a starting point.

Is this a bad perfume personalized gift? Actually it makes a great gift. All a person can give another that makes them feel special and to think is a wonderful gift. It's also a perfect gift for children to make them feel as if they are special. The safety factor in purchasing a personalized perfume is to match the fragrances that are already chosen, so it is very unlikely to present the recipient with a scent that can not be used. It's really very clever.

Perfume is customized via the Internet and any search engine, many websites are produced to order this unique gift and sweet. Most sites promise delivery in about seven to ten working days. The fragrance comes bottled in personalized packaging, adding to the special flair of thinking only of the receiver.
