Perfume… A Woman’s Emancipation

A perfume’s ability to subtly appeal to the senses means it’s got great influence on the mood. It is an integral part of the beauty routine. Both an olfactory pleasure and an affirmation of femininity, perfume is a charmer that turns heads and melts hearts. Is it a tool for seduction? Absolutely! Women have used fragrance to distinguish themselves since the beginning of time and at certain times, even used scent to bewitch men. Hello, Cleopatra rings a bell, anyone?

The Power of Perfume For Women

Her scent undoubtedly characterizes a woman. Some ladies go to lengths to find a signature scent from artisanal perfumeries to identify with. Once she’s found her perfect match, she tames her fragrance and becomes more confident and more sensual than some would even call a weapon of seduction, to say the least. With careful, almost ritualistic endeavor, a woman applies her fragrance over her neck, on the chest, the hollow of her ears, the back of her wrists, and sometimes even between the thighs… and she’s ready for her day (or evening, if she’s up for a night out!). If you’re on the hunt for your signature fragrance, we’ve rounded up some options one simply can’t resist… ladies, take your pick!

The Delicate Flower

Tend to weigh options before making decisions? Are you introspective and sensitive toward others? If impulse has never been an issue for you, your firm and delicate personality is the epitome of Rose Alba. The caress of this powerful fragrance is felt from the first notes of black pepper and fleshy plum. Wrapped in fluffy peach skin, the rose is combined with sandalwood to deliver oriental, feminine, and velvety rose water.

The Queen

It’s been said that citrus lover leads the pack. If you’ve been called the alpha woman more than once or twice, you probably gravitate towards citrus fragrances like Carnaval. The sillage of the perfume is like a carnival queen, steeped in color and light, effervescent and passionate. The orange blossom epitomizes this queen. As she moves, she leaves a mist of soft petals behind her. The sensuality of this living flower is spellbinding…

The Sartorialist

We know a musk fan when we see one because musk lovers are the most stylish and fashion-forward of them all! An aficionado of the finer things in life, they’re usually ones who take charge in situations. Do people around you trust your intuition and taste? You better pick a perfume that commands just that, such as Majestic Musk. Its musky fragrances mingle with the smell of powder compacts that demand respect. This gem can also be used for perfume layering to create your own scent or expand your fragrance wardrobe!

The Easy-Going Chic

Has anyone ever told you what a delight you are to have around? You must be an iris lover, and if you aren’t already, then you should be wearing Iris Violet. Your laidback, no-drama personality goes perfectly with its dreamy scent of exotic fruits that electrifies a delicious crunchy apple… and apt opening for the bright and joyous iris that appears soon after. The notes of rose and jasmine then fade in a seductive accord of cashmere wood and white vanilla musk.
