The hunt for the perfect celebrity fragrance is exciting and confusing at the same time. With all that choice, it’s safe to get caught up in the star name of the brand, but it’s equally important to find a fragrance that suits you, even if it’s out of your price range. If you know the different scent profiles that work best for you, choosing the right celebrity essential oil fragrance is a bit of a self-discovery exercise.
Read on for my guide on how to choose a celebrity essential oil fragrance that has been inspired by your favorite celebrity but is also authentic, timeless, and just right for you.
1. Start with Self-Reflection: What Do You Want Your Fragrance to Say?
Good fragrances are a way to express yourself, and a good fragrance will show how much you love yourself. Ask yourself:
- What will people feel? What kind of a scent do you want, calm, energizing, or maybe a little mysterious?
- What do you like most about a celebrity? A scent that is calming, warming, and dusky, base notes of Frankincense or Sandalwood might be inspiring if you are drawn to the refined and stunning elegance and sophistication of a celebrity. If you love someone with a free spirit, light scents with Citrus notes or Peppermint will do the trick.
The first step to finding the right fragrance for you is to understand exactly what you want your fragrance to say.
2. Know the Scent Categories
Fragrances are typically categorized into families, and knowing the difference can help you decide which scents align with your tastes:
- Floral: One of the most popular fragrance families with fragrances such as Ylang Ylang and Lavender Essential Oil often have soft, sweet, romantic scents. If you like classic, feminine scents, you might start with florals.
- Woody: Woody, warm earthy fragrances are noted with Cedarwood and Patchouli. If you like your fragrance sophisticated, you can pick from these scents that tend to be subdued in scent.
- Citrus/Fresh: Lemon (and Lime) Essential Oils produce fresh, energizing scents. They’re great for people who enjoy something initial and invigorating.
- Oriental/Spicy: Common to this category, Frankincense and Cinnamon have deep, intense notes. Bold and exotic, they are perfect for evening wear or special occasions.
3. Identify Your Personal Scent Preferences
Once you know what scent families are, then take a moment to think about what you naturally gravitate toward when you go to the store. Analyze your mood and take a chance to try out different essential oils and note which ones bring you the feeling of being comfortable, confident, or uplifted.
If you tend to love grounding, earthy scents, or like Sandalwood or Cedarwood Essential Oils, then maybe your fragrance can be as follows. Try something a little more refreshing with the addition of Orange or Lemongrass Essential Oil. This will enable you to learn your scent preferences so you can find just the right celebrity fragrance that goes with your style.
4. Consider the Time and Place for Your Fragrance.
When deciding which fragrance to wear think where and when. Some scents work better in specific settings, so choosing the right one can elevate your overall experience:
- Daytime/Office: To use for a light, everyday fragrance choose refreshing, subtle scents such as Eucalyptus or Spearmint Essential Oil. For those in business-minded work, these are great for creating a sense of alertness and clarity without being overwhelming to others.
- Evening/Special Occasions: When picking a fragrance for the evening out or a specific occasion, choose a heavy and flavorful one for example Frankincense or Patchouli Essential Oil. They give your fragrance a warmth and a mystery to it, so it sticks with you, it’s memorable, and it’s appealing.
- Relaxing/Personal Time: If you need a relaxing scent to help you unwind, check out Lavender or Chamomile Essential Oil. These are good choices to have a soothing ambiance and good to relax.
5. Look at the Essential Oil Ingredients
Essential Oil celebrity fragrances offer blended aromas layered with added wellness benefits. When choosing a fragrance, pay attention to the essential oils included, as each offers unique qualities:
- Lavender: Lavender is known for its calming properties, and makes for a great choice if one wants something relatively peaceful or soothing.
- Peppermint: Any uplifting scent can be good for focus and energy. It’s perfect for someone who’s seeking something refreshing and lively.
- Sandalwood: Sandalwood is a rich, woody oil that gives sophistication and depth. If you prefer a grounded, elegant scent with longevity — this is the perfect one.
- Citrus Oils (Orange, Lemon, Lime): Citrus oils are bright and energizing and perfect for people who want to bring happiness and lightness.
If you know you want celebrity fragrances but want to ensure they have high-quality essential oils, then you can opt for your scent to come from every beautiful one of HBNO’s fragrances.
6. Test and Take Your Time
It’s not an easy thing to know which fragrance to choose, you have to test it and take your time. Which one lasts longer and how do they wear throughout the day? But apply a small amount. The essential oils evaporate off the skin, so the first time you smell a scent isn’t necessarily going to be how it’s going to smell after an hour or two. This will give you more time to smell the fragrance and tell if it’s going to suit you or not.
Additionally, pay attention to how you feel with that fragrance. The perfect celebrity essential oil fragrance will encapsulate some of your best emotions including confidence, inspiration, and relaxation. If you find a fragrance that has that ‘just right’ feeling, then you’ll know it’s for you.
