You might be considering starting with a powerful color, unusual pattern, or the newest trend, when you intend to make a statement with your ensemble. However, there’s an equally powerful way to express yourself that often gets overlooked: fragrance! The right essential oil will make you look better, feel better, and have an effect. Here on this blog, we’re going to look at how fragrance can be a fashion statement as we move onto bold scents, personal style, and how to authentically wear your fragrance. Let’s get started!
The Power of Fragrance
Probably the best part about fragrance is that it’s an essential part of your expression — the ability to transport yourself to a place, time, or emotion just by thinking of it may be one of its most unique qualities. You would select an outfit to reflect your mood or the occasion, so you can select a fragrance based on mood or occasion. Essential oil fragrances in particular worn boldly leave you unmistakable, and because they wear with respect or complement your style, leaving a lasting impression.
My Personal Experience
At one fashion-forward event, for example, everyone dressed their best, throwing on the hippest of outfits. I wore a black jumpsuit that made me feel powerful and also confident. Getting my look up high was with HBNO Frankincense Essential Oil. And while it got me smelling rich and warm and making me feel sophisticated, it caught the attention of everyone in the area. That fragrance was a part of who I was for the evening, with the limits of those conversations and compliments I would’ve not gotten without it. It was that experience, I learned, that taught me fragrance does, indeed, elevate personal style.
Bold Scents: Making a Statement
Being noticeable doesn’t even touch the tip of the bold scent. It’s about what scents connect you to. Here are some tips for selecting essential oil fragrances that make a statement:
- Know Your Style: When you decide on a fragrance, consider your style. Are you a die-hard classic elegance, bohemian style, or contemporary chic? Your style will be identified and it will provide guidance as to your fragrances.
- Choose Unique Scents: There’s nothing wrong with trying different or nonconventional scents that differentiate you from the crowd. Take, for example, that, the warm, earthy aroma of HBNO’s essential oil Cedarwood is distinctive, and memorable, for example. If you’re a grounding but stylish person it’s perfect.
- Layer Your Fragrance: Experiment with layering different essential oils to find your carrier scent signature. An example is taking HBNO’s scents like Bergamot Essential Oil and a hint of Patchouli Essential Oil to create an exciting and diversified fragrance that expresses you. So you’ve got to make sure the scents balance out so one doesn’t overpower the other.
- Be Mindful of Application: If you’re wearing a strong fragrance, think about how to keep yourself from reapplying. Use 3 or 4 drops on your pulse points like wrist or neck, they don’t overpower us but create a mysterious aura. You want your scent to hover in the air, just enough to register but not suffocating.
The Role of Fragrance in Fashion
The fragrance is, for me, the perfect accessory to pull together an outfit. Here’s how to incorporate fragrance as a fashion statement:
- Seasonal Considerations: Different seasons correlate with a different fragrance profile. Say, for example, lighter, fresher scents are better for spring and summer, and spicier ones for fall and winter. The right essential oil fragrance for the season can add a touch to your overall style and mood.
- Occasion Appropriateness: As with your wardrobe, your perfume should change depending on the occasion. For social situations use brighter, bolder scents but more subtle, softer scents for the office or gatherings.
- Creating a Signature Scent: Your fragrance can be a part of your identity. Think about how you want to be remembered and choose an essential oil that comports with that. Continuing with an example, if you’d like to be prepared because you want to be known for your elegance, HBNO Myrrh Essential Oil will help you to have an air of sophistication and mystery about you because it smells so elegant.
Fragrance as an Extension of Self
The fragrance is highly personal. A scent’s not just a smell; it’s a thing. The powerful right essential oil fragrance itself can empower you and project an extension of your self-expression. Live with confidence; be bold, embrace, and wear fragrance as a part of your fashion statement.
Combining Fragrance with Personal Style
To make fragrance an extension of your style, consider the play between your choice of clothing, and your choice of fragrance. For example, say you’re wearing a more bold outfit in which case a subtler scent can help balance things out. On the other hand, if you are in a less lively outfit, a flamboyant smell will liven up the whole thing. When you get ready for an event think about your outfit, your attitude, and your fragrance.
Fragrance Rituals
Add scent to your daily routine for more presence. Work on making it a ritual, where you put your favorite essential oil onto your face before you step out and make it your signature part of the look. Not only does this ritual make you happy but it also sets your tone for the whole day. And the right scent can change your mindset and give you confidence.
Conclusion
There’s nothing quite like the pounding of a strong essential oil fragrance and wearing it boldly can give you that style and make a lasting impression. With bold scents that speak to your style and reflect the occasion, you increase your odds of upping your fashion game. Fashion-wise, don’t write off the power of fragrance as that finishing touch that defines you.
