In light of Women’s Day, we’re here to talk about perfume and how it transforms the delightful female population. History tells us that perfume was initially used in important ceremonies & preparations. The elites used special oils and essences to denote political and social status until the Greeks and Romans began viewing perfumery as a form of art, which over decades blossomed into a massive industry and has become a part of our daily lives. So yes, perfume really is more than just a scent.
Christian Dior once said, “A woman’s perfume tells more about her than her handwriting.” and he couldn’t be more right! Remember how Cleopatra used to rub perfume on her eyebrows before she met Mark Antony? A fragrance is undeniably part of a woman’s charm, a tool for seduction, a representation of power & of exquisite taste, a sort of “comfort blanket” in times of stress, we can go on and on! A woman who wears the right perfume for her is confident, sophisticated… sexy. It has been scientifically proven that scents do affect how we think and how we feel. Calming fragrances such as amber, rose, and wood can help with focus and concentration when you want to get all pensive with your thoughts. A warm smoky perfume gets you all spiced up and feeling like the independent woman you are!
Apparently, scents say a lot about personality. Women who love wearing sweet perfume tend to be vivacious, almost child-like in an endearing kind of way. Soft and tender florals, as you probably guessed – are worn by “romantic” women. Woody and oriental notes are worn by the ultimate femme fetale: seductive, sensual, and mysterious. Modern-day career women tend to wear chypre to highlight their elegance and ambitious independence, while fresh and fruity fragrances are adored by the bubbly, spontaneous female. Interesting enough, your perfume pick of the day also depends on your mood and how you’re feeling at a particular moment, that’s why a lot of women have several different bottles of fragrances up on her drawer!
We can all agree that perfume definitely adds a touch of oomph to everything. So who are you today lady? Are you trying to land that job you’ve been eyeing for months?
