Looking well put together does not end with a good outfit and makeup. The right fragrance will elevate your style effortlessly.


If you have never thought about it, here is a guide to help you match your scent to go with your get-up.

1. Cotton: This breathable fabric is best worn during the day is versatile because it goes with just about anything. You want to pair it with a light floral scent or one with citrus notes. Chance by Chanel features powdery notes of vanilla, jasmine and iris.

2. Silk: Silk feels like a second skin after it adapts to your body temperature. And for that, you want a spicy and sensual fragrance like the YSL Opium that has myrrh, mandarin and patchouli.

3. Linen: A great option for casual days in the sun, a freshly-pressed linen dress gives the impression of purity and cleanliness, which is why a light aquatic fragrance would work perfectly with your outfit. Eternity Aqua by Calvin Klein is worth a try. It has a blend of white peony, cucumber water and jasmine for a sparkling scent, perfect for daytime wear.

4. Wool: Smell fresh under your heavy woollies with a wood-based fragrance to warm up your senses during these cold days. The saffron, agarwood and praline in the Lancôme Oud Bouquet are what you want to reach out for.
