Perfume will never smell exactly the same on any two people. Body chemistry, skin condition and diet affect the way a perfume smells, so you should test it on your skin before purchasing.
Effects

Perfumes evoke emotions and memories. Perfumeries conduct psychological studies when creating new scents, asking participants what a fragrance reminds them of and how it makes them feel.
Precautions
-
Perfumes can cause allergic contact dermatitis. If you develop this skin disorder it is recommended that you apply perfume on clothing with a cotton swab instead of directly to the skin.
