Build your sensitivity to perfume notes and you’ll discover a whole new wardrobe worth crafting!
Just as fashion purveyors lament the importance of establishing a closet of staples and classics, perfumers will tell you that an extensive fragrance wardrobe is essential. Fragrances are concocted with unique blends and combinations, each catering to different moods and sensibilities. Though it may take some time to decipher individual notes, the effort will open up a whole new dimension to dressing up. Scents can be best understood as invisible accessories but unfortunately they can break outfits if it contradicts the occasion or evokes a conflicting vibe. For that reason, we’ve lined up a list of common occasions and paired fragrances to go with. It’s time to straighten up and enhance your sensitivity to the nuances in scents. Work Interview It’s usually a point of caution to not wear an overpowering scent but to keep it light and but lingering. Look for a refined scent, like Flora by Gucci (Glamorous Magnolia) that incorporates serious notes of musk or sandalwood for a sophisticated accompaniment to your tailored suit. First Date On a first date, you would want to intoxicate your date’s senses to the moon and back. For that, look for notes of iris or orange blossoms that are romantic, a smidge seductive and yet not overwhelming which directly points us to Chloe Love. Girls Night Out On a night out, exude an aura of mystery and sensuality with a blend of spice and floral notes. With just one whiff of Gucci Guilty Studs, the warm yet edgy allure will men dropping pick up lines on you by the second. Weddings For a dance of romance, freshness and new beginnings, a light floral note will inject just the right amount of innocence and purity to the day. To create that aura, Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet comes to mind in which the subtle and refreshing essences of peony accentuate timeless beauty. Errand Days Errand days are usually filled with drudgery and lethargic grunts. So to combat the day, what you need is a zesty and citrusy scent that will lift your spirits and put a bounce to your step. Try Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue and before you know it, your errands will be done and shelved in a neat pile. Tarandip Kaur
