Perfume for a date: feel like yourself
Comfort at close range matters more than choosing the strongest scent.
SOUQ SMELL JOURNALThere is no universal fragrance formula for attraction. Consider your companion's preferences if you know them; otherwise, a perfume you already enjoy wearing is a useful starting point. In a small venue or over dinner, heavy application can make even a beautiful composition distracting.
Compare cardamom, rose, soft woods or vanilla according to your own taste. Give a new perfume a trial day before an important evening instead of discovering its development at the last minute. The selection below offers different levels of warmth and sweetness, without promising that any fragrance produces the same response in everyone.
