Fragrance and Your Body

Temperature is a big factor that dictates how a fragrance will smell on the skin. The evolution of a fragrance is driven by your body temperature alone. This means you will experience an evolution of the fragrance from the top note when the fragrance is initially applied all the way to dry-down notes, which is the part of the fragrance that will be lingering after many hours of wear. Also, fragrances are composed of different ingredients which all have different volatilities. For example, citrus notes will flash off more rapidly than say musky or woody notes that will linger for many hours on the skin."

That explains why a scent will smell different after you wear it for a few hours.

One common mistake , when it comes to wearing fragrance is using products with clashing scents at the same time. To make sure that your fragrance is untainted, it's a good idea to avoid using other strongly scented products, such as body wash, shampoo, conditioner, lotions, or laundry detergent. Using fragrance free products is better for your skin,hair and clothing and will put the focus on your signature scent.

Fragrances can be perceived differently on different people due to their body chemistry, which sometimes is related to behaviors such as their nutritional habits, for example." All you can do, then, is choose a fragrance based on your personal preference. What vibe or essence do you want to give off? What notes are you drawn to? All of these unique characteristics are taken into account when you join us for a candle making or perfume blending workshop at Thee Candle Lab.
