How to Choose Your Scent Match
Choosing a fragrance can feel like a daunting task, especially with so many incredible options out there. But don’t worry – we’ve got a few tips to help you find your perfect scent companion.
Know Your Notes
Every fragrance is composed of top, middle, and base notes, which unfold over time as you wear the scent. Top notes are the first to hit your nose – they’re light and fresh but fade quickly. Middle notes, or heart notes, emerge next and form the core of the fragrance. Finally, base notes are the foundation, providing depth and longevity. Understanding which notes you’re drawn to can help you narrow down your options. If you love citrusy scents, look for fragrances with top notes of bergamot or lemon. If you’re into something warmer and spicier, opt for scents with base notes of amber or musk.
Match Your Mood
Fragrances are forms of self-expression, so choose one that aligns with your current mood or the occasion. Feeling flirty and playful? Go for a light, floral scent like Floral Lavender. In the mood for something bold and mysterious? Ambery Saffron has got you covered. For those relaxed, laid-back days, Aquatic Coconut is the perfect companion. And when you’re ready to make a lasting impression, reach for Woody Sandalwood.
