Depending on the season, people change what they wear, and the same happens with scents. Depending on the person, one might wear the same scent every day or they may switch up scents based on their mood. Every scent evokes different feelings for each person and these scents can affect your senses. For example, citrus based fragrances, especially those with grapefruit, are natural mood enhancers. Richer fragrances, those with amber or patchouli can tend to make you feel more sexy or attractive. Fragrances with clean notes or water-based notes tend to make you feel more refreshed.
“Smell is the strongest of the senses and is best able to influence brain activity. Olfactory bulbs are part of the Limbic system and directly connect to the areas of the brain that process emotion and learning. This is one of the reasons why so often something that we smell will trigger a memory or remind us of something or someone.”
As spring is right around the corner, one of our favorite scents to go with the season is A La Rose by Maison Francis Kurkdjian. This fragrance is made for springtime, it was even released to coincide with the spring season. With notes of Damascena Rose from Bulgaria and Centifolia Rose from Grasse, accompanied by Bergamot, Orange, Cedar, Magnolia Blossom and Musk, this scent carries the lightness of spring and will leave anyone feeling radiant and feminine.
Honour by Amouage is another great fragrance. It is a white floral based fragrance with Gardenia, Tuberose, Jasmine, Frankincense, Myrrh, Sandalwood, Rhubarb, Coriander, Carnation, Jasmine, Amber and Vetiver. The notes mix so well throughout that you get a perfect combination of the effervescent florals and the gorgeous spices that hold it all together.
For a fruitier feel, Meliora by Parfums de Marly has notes of Black Currant, Peach, Red Fruits, Amber, Vanilla and Musk that combine together to create a gorgeous natural sweet scent that will leave you feeling light and fresh.
For another fruity scent, we recommend Amethyst by Lalique. This fragrance is a fruity, sweet and feminine scent with Black Currant, Blueberry, Blackberry, Mulberry, Strawberry, Peony, Pepper, Ylang-Ylang, Rose, Musk, Vanilla and woods. All of the notes combine seamlessly to create a springtime symphony that will leave you feeling soft and sweet.
Springtime scents can add to the feeling of the sun shining on your skin and can enhance your amazing mood on a beautiful day!
Perfume can make you feel unique, sexy, confident, and powerful. What you put on can give you an extra feeling of confidence, or happiness during your day. It all depends on what you feel when you put on a scent.
