A first date is always exciting; it shows whether that chemistry will arise, whether there will be attraction — and it’s more about mood and hint than about logic and analysis of the situation and the person. Of course, it’s very important to choose an outfit that corresponds to your character and mood. And the perfume should work as a soft filter that emphasizes your energy and does not clash with your personal skin scent.
Perfume collector Natalia Nasonova talked about the current trends that are at their peak right now. She also reminded us of the simple rules for applying fragrances to ensure the trail is memorable rather than intrusive.
Clean Musks and Skin Scents
The main idea is to smell like you, only better. Airy musks, milky and clean notes of skin create a sense of closeness and soft warmth. This is the perfect choice for cafes, walks, and movies. “Apply it sparingly to pulse points and on a sweater or scarf to enhance the aura. Such a fragrance usually does not compete with other scents of the meeting, suits any outfit and appearance type, and also supports an image of calm confidence,” says the expert.
Warm Gourmand Notes Without Sweet Stickiness
Modern versions of this direction have become lighter: instead of caramel hitting you in the face, there are accents on vanilla, cocoa, tonka beans, and praline with a salty edge. The result is cozy and delicious, but without being cloying. This works well for an evening date when you want to add a touch of intimacy. A single spray on your hair or the inside of your coat will work well here. The fragrance will manifest in waves as you move.
Transparent Floral Waters
Here, freshness without ozone and cloying sharpness is important; such a fragrance is perceived as well-groomed and light. It is suitable for any season and especially good in daylight. For longevity, apply it to well-moisturized skin and duplicate one spray on the hairline at the back of the neck. If you want depth, create a layer on a base of neutral musk.
Almond and Powdery Accords
Powder is back in fashion, but not in a vintage interpretation. “Now, airy tactility with hints of almond, iris, and rice powder is valued. This accord is good for daytime meetings and museums, where the atmosphere of intellectuality with a touch of bohemianism matters. Combine it with wool, cashmere, and suede, applying it to the lining of your coat and on your wrists. On the skin, powdery notes unfold warmer and more delicately,” claims the fragrance expert.
Soft Woody and Amber Bases
Wood and amber have become more delicate and gender-neutral. Cedar, sandalwood, cashmeran, and soft amber create a cocooning effect and highlight character without overwhelming the conversation partner; this is a choice for dinner, exhibitions, or concerts. Woody notes sound beautiful in coolness, while amber adds a bodily warmth. To avoid weighing down the impression, limit yourself to two sprays: one on the chest and neck under clothing and one on the scarf.
