There’s no better way to say it than to say that perfume is, in fact, two worlds that just happen to know how to get along perfectly: the two worlds of fashion and perfume, where fragrances are like a powerful accessory to your personal expression. Just as clothing can say who we are and scents can say who we are as well. In this blog, we’ll look at how essential oil fragrances impact style trends, ‘scent style’, and how to use HBNO’s essential oils to dress up your wardrobe.
The Relationship Between Fragrance and Fashion
For centuries, perfume has gone hand in hand with fashion, inspiring and inspiring in turn. Imagine those fashion houses that have built up an iconic brand reputation and wanted a signature scent to pair with their wares. For instance, classic fragrances that were marketed in ancient times had become immortal symbols of dressing up that inspired and continued to the extent of influencing not only how a person appears but also how a whole era looks like.
Fragrance has an emotional connection to our identity and style choices. When we wear a specific scent, it can elevate our outfits and influence how we feel about ourselves. This connection gives rise to the concept of “scent style,” where the aromas we wear become as integral to our personal fashion as the clothes themselves.
Historical Influences: Icons of Scent and Style
Throughout fashion history, many icons have touched audiences with their unique style in combination with a signature scent. Consider, for example, the famous beings of their distinctive scents. But these scents weren’t just important because they defined the subtle essence of a woman or a man during their time, they also helped shape how people approached fragrance in that specific period. The scent is powerful: These fragrances strongly associate with their wearers, and importantly, scent often furthers trends and upends fashion choices.
Modern Fashion Trends Influenced by Essential Oils
Today, essential oils remain inspirational for how we dress. Often, they are associated with specific fragrances. For instance, both Floral scents like Ylang Ylang Essential Oil and Jasmine Essential Oil lend a spring fashion element of renewal to the mind and body. On the opposite side, we have earthy-smelling Essential Oils such as Cedar Wood Essential Oil or Patchuli Essential Oil and they go really well with the cozy, warm vibes of fall collections.
The scent of fashion changes hands in fashion change. For example, the most minimalistic fashion trends can be seen with their clean fragrances, such as Lemon Essential Oil or Eucalyptus Essential Oil. These scents embody a new path to style, restating the point that the clothes we put on and the way we smell out can suitably represent who we are.
Personal Experiences: My Scent Style Journey
I’ve also explored how scents can be used to elevate fashion with my own fragrance journey. For instance, back when I attended a fashion event, I wore a nice little black dress. To give a bit with my outfit, I decided to diffuse HBNO Lavender Fragrance Oil. The elegant, and calming, scent exuded confidence that matched the greatness of my attire. Throughout the night I remember thinking how the fragrance completed my look and made me feel like I was in a place of calm, in a busy place.
Once, I put on HBNO Frankincense Fragrance Oil for a creative gathering. I felt like its warm resinous scent surrounded me, grounded me, and inspired me. But I also noticed that my choice of a fragrance actually did impact not only my mood but the way I interacted with others — proving just how much scent affects an experience.
Creating Your Signature Scent Style with HBNO
It’s fun and creative to develop a personal scent style. HBNO Essential Oils provides you with a diverse range of essential oils, so you can create a signature fragrance that speaks to your fashion sense. Here are a few tips to get started:
- Blend for Balance: Play around with combining unique essential oils to get a unique signature smell that is yours. For example, get a fresh citrus smell with Bergamot Fragrance Oil, or Sandalwood Essential Oil, which brings depth and warmth.
- Consider the Occasion: Your choice of essential oils depends on the event you’re attending. For a laid-back vibe, light and up-lightening scents such as Orange Fragrance Oil can give you more of that role. More formal or sophisticated fragrances like Frankincense can also lend an air of elegance in formal circumstances.
- Layering Fragrance: Layering your essential oils gives you the option to build a multidimensional scent, just as you’ve done with your wardrobe. Warm, textured fabrics and diffused Cinnamon Bark Essential Oil will make you feel cozy during the fall!
The Role of Scent in Fashion Events
A big contributor to a fashion show or an event’s sensory experience is fragrance. Often designers have curated a scent to match their collections which creates a very immersive atmosphere that describes their vision. What about heading into a runway show where the air was absolutely perfumed with Lemon Fragrance Oil for a line of bright, summery apparel?
Wearing the right fragrance for an event makes a bold statement for attendees. By using HBNO’s essential oils you are not bound to specific scents, you have the choice of scents that suit your fashion and personality. From refreshing blend to rich deep aroma, a good scent can elevate you and make you feel like you are really in touch with the fashion experience.
Tips for Choosing Fragrances that Match Your Fashion Style
You can pick the best essential oil that will complement you and improve your fashion style. Here are some practical tips to consider:
- Know Your Style: Think about your go-to colors, texture, or fashion preferences. So you prefer simple and minimalist styles, or are you someone who gravitates toward bright and more playful styles? This can help you to select your scent.
- Experiment and Explore: There are ample HBNO essential oils that you should not be afraid to try if you aren’t certain what will suit you. So maybe you’ll see certain smells activate feelings similar to your chosen attire.
- Create a Mood Board: The best way I found is to make a mood board, combining visuals of your favorite outfits and scents which creates the same feeling. It will make it easier for you to see how you choose to present yourself in fashion and fragrance.
