"Our sense of smell is our sensory gatekeeper and allows us to relive some of our most lucid memories and emotions – whether we want to or not!"
”Fragrance, when we find one we love is like making a new friend. It’s a wonderful experience because it’s an extension of who we are. A reflection of the wearer."
An easy way to start seeking the perfect fragrance is to think about what you enjoy the odour of. Don’t think about perfumes yet, recall some enjoyable experiences like diving into the sea, walking in a forest. What about fruits you like to eat? Does the smell of fresh flowers fill you with joy? What colours do you surround yourself with? What about textures? All of this information helps us to build your scent personality."
"Fragrance has no rules, you can wear what you like, where you like and how you like!”
