The scent wardrobe: one perfume is not enough

Four bottles for four seasons, and the right way to choose them.

Most of us wear one perfume. We found it years ago, we like it and we put it on every morning without thinking. It is a lovely habit. It is also a little like wearing the same coat in January and in July. A small wardrobe of scents, chosen with care, gives you something for every season and every mood.

Four bottles are enough: one fresh, one floral, one warm and one for the evening.

Why one is not enough

Perfume reacts to heat. On warm skin in summer, a heavy scent becomes too strong, for you and for the people near you. On cold skin in winter, a light scent disappears in an hour. The perfume has not changed. The weather has.

Your nose also stops noticing a scent it meets every day. After a few weeks, you smell nothing and begin to spray more. Changing perfumes keeps your nose awake.
