The art of fragrance combining to create your signature scent is a personal journey whereby the end result should be your personality, bottled.
How do you get there? Choosing a fragrance sees you at the edge of a sea of florals, orientals, woods, fruits and spices. Whilst daunting, there are a few simple rules to follow to find a fragrance for life (or a few).
Think of your signature fragrance as you would your home, it epitomises your personality, it’s where you feel most comfortable, and it’s uniquely you.
The Basics: Choose Your Notes
Base notes are like the foundations of your home; they play a crucial role as the strongest and longest lasting notes. Base notes are generally made of the heavier musks, patchoulis, woods and heady spices.
Middle notes are like the furniture of your home; the they give your scent life, character and let people know who you are and what your about. Think fresh greens, luscious berries and rich orientals.
Top notes are like your garden, the front door or the sweet embellishments of your favourite space. It’s the first thing others are introduced to and will set the tone.
These are the lightest scents that leave the fastest, and mainly feature white flowers, energising citrus and sweeter notes.
The Next Level: Custom Combinations
Of course, the rules are also made to be broken; discover Fragrance Combining with Jo Malone London for a truly bespoke fragrance.
