I have always been a big believer in how you smell playing a major role in first impressions. It says quite a lot about a person believe it or not. One can forget your name but remember that remarkable smell you had. You could be dressed like a bum, but smell like a million bucks. Consider this the next time you decide to briefly step out with no deodorant or perfume on.
Scent is a very personal and subjective thing. It is not a one size fits all. Hence the importance of taking your time to discover what works best for you, and compliments your natural body oils. Here are a few scents i love & why i love them!
I’ll begin with my current favourite scent: Baccarat Rouge 540 by Maison Francis Kurkdjian. I recently shared an image of this perfume on my snapchat, and with the amount of screenshots it got, i think its safe to say many of you are interested in experiencing this beauty. Rightfully so, this perfume simply smells divine. It’s a nice mix between fresh, spice, and oud. Definitely one of those scents that if someone walks by you wearing it, you would sniff twice to smell it again. It also lasts a really really long time on the skin and on clothing as well. You can get it Here.
My second favourite scent is: Aventus for Her by Creed. Also another fresh scent, very modern and sophisticated. It’s not too strong but definitely packs a punch at first spray, and eventually settles down nicely. lasts a long time as well and you can get it Here.
Next on my list is: Myrrh & Tonka by Jo Malone. Personally i feel like Jo Malone as a brand is a bit underrated or simply not talked about as often as it should be, because they honestly have some really AMAZING scents! With a ton of choices to choose from, there’s something for every kind of gal or guy. I went with this scent because its a soft smelling oud (if that makes any sense). It still has that musky, powdery smell but not as strong as velvet orchid by Tom Ford for example. All in all, its a great scent which you can get Here.
Up next is: Not a Perfume by Juliette has a gun. An interesting name for a very interesting scent! This scent is quite difficult to describe because it is very unique. It is very soft, warm, and innocent. Reminds me of new born baby lol. If you are into scents that are not too strong with floral undertones, check this out Here.
Finally we have: Jour D’Hermes Absolu by Hermes. Really lovely if you are into citrusy floral scents. This is a really nice scent for spring and summer if you’re able to avoid being chased by bees. Smells very refreshing. Its staying power is a little questionable though, however, if you are heading out for just a few hours then you should be good. You can get it Here.
These are my top 5 scents at the moment. I do switch them up every now and then, and i’m forever on the haunt for a new scent. Luckily my friends and family are well aware of my obsession, and regularly gift me with new bottles 😀
I do strongly believe in investing in your scent though! Like i said earlier, how you smell can determine whether the first impression you leave is pleasant or lethal lol.
Whats your favourite scent?
See you next week. Xo
