November is the official start of the Christmas holiday shopping season. As the quest for the perfect gift intensifies, do something different this year: give a gift of luxury — a fragrance.
The gift of scent is a thoughtful, kind-hearted and lavish gesture, but purchasing a fragrance can be intimidating. Use these four tips below to help you strike the perfect note. Fragrance is more than a gift discovered under the glow of Christmas lights; it reflects the essence of your loved one.
1. BE A FRAGRANCE CURATOR
Is your loved one drawn to floral, woody, citrus or spicy scents? Understanding her favorites can guide you toward a fragrance she’ll love.
2. FOLLOW THE FRAGRANCE PERSONALITIES
People and fragrances both have personalities. Here are the four fragrance personalities to consider:
- Sophisticated and confident
- Romantic and thoughtful
- Fun and casual
- Adventurous and spirited
Be sure to match the fragrance personality to your loved one’s persona. When you do this, you will be a master fragrance giver.
3. KNOW THE KEYNOTES
To select a perfect scent, take a sneak peek at what fragrance your loved one wears now. The keynotes in fragrances have a variety of combinations.
It’s also important to mention that every signature scent has three notes:
- Top note: The first impression
- Middle note: The heart of the fragrance, which unfolds and develops after being applied to the skin.
- Bottom note: The last to emerge and the note that brings depth and harmony to the middle note, which is unique to each wearer.
My client, Brad, wanted to buy perfume for his wife, but he was unsure what to buy. So, I asked him to see what scent his wife had already purchased and loved. I researched her signature perfume and identified the keynotes. I then found a perfume with the same keynotes, known as a fragrance twin. Brad’s wife loved the scent and felt seen and understood.
4. BE ATTENTIVE
Whether you are purchasing a scent for a man or woman, do your research. Consider her budget and the occasion.
