Have you ever noticed that a trend can flip on a dime with the backing of a fashion icon? Undeniably, these trendsetters affect the whole world of style and fragrance. Fashion icons and fragrances are fascinating things, whether it’s seeing a celebrity turn up to a red-carpet event wearing an unforgettable scent or the style mogul launching their favorite fragrance line. But have you ever stopped to think about how they fit into this mix? Below, we’re going to take a look at how these influencer relationships are being used to create a stage for trendsetting scents — and how you can cash in on some of that celebrity magic with HBNO’s essential oils.
How Fashion Icons Shape Fragrance Trends
Fashion icons don’t only influence what we wear but also what scents we smell like, from the runway to real life. Often, their fragrance choices are the latest trends in themselves, helping to dictate what’s in and what isn’t, and eventually spreading around the globe.
Celebrity Influence and Signature Scents
Imagine at some point, when a celebrity you respect revealed their new perfume. That scent is almost instantly made the must-have item of the season. Audrey Hepburn’s love for refined fragrances, or modern trendsetters that like more exciting and daring scents are making us think about personal fragrance.
Essential oils, however, are becoming increasingly popular, so let’s talk about them. Mainstream fragrances usually feature synthetic ingredients, but essential oils also work easily as an equally luxurious natural option. Natural scents are becoming something that fashion icons are comfortable embracing, as an added trend to ’fragrance’. It’s almost like a celebrity whimpering to bring in a comforting fragrance similar to HBNO’s Sandalwood Australian Essential Oil, which offers a put-together but mellow character.
Personal Story Time: Inspired by Fashion Icons
I remember seeing a documentary on one of my style icons once. She talked about her love for timeless and understated fragrances. I was inspired and tried to recreate that aura with essential oils. I blend HBNO’s Frankincense and a few drops of Myrrh. The result? A gorgeous classic fragrance that was luxurious and very trendsetting. I envisioned the channeling of a timeless style through scent, which was my version of it.
I remember that experience teaching me that it doesn’t matter if you are a celebrity, you can be glamorous. All you need is a small number of high-quality essential oils and a few brain hacks to get started. Who knows? What if your next new signature scent is now another big trend in your circle?
Trendsetting Scents Inspired by Icons
1. The Bold and the Beautiful: Floral Statements
Sometimes fashion icons come up with brilliant scents inspired by equally vibrant fashion choices. Say, for example, a trendsetter with a color-popping gown and matching shiny fragrance. Jasmine Essential Oil by HBNO can be used to make a statement that feels like red carpet royalty. For when you want to be remembered, this scent is perfect.
2. The Minimalist Chic: Understated Elegance
Scents that whisper sophistication are favorites of so many icons of minimalist fashion because they embody minimalist fashion. That’s when HBNO’s Sandalwood Australian Essential Oil steps in. Its earthy smell is calming just enough for those who love to stick to the simpler but chic ways. Just imagine this fragrance with crisp tailored clothes: pure elegance. For those who agree that less is more in the wardrobe and in the olfactory profile, it’s perfect.
3. The Adventurous Trendsetter: Exotic and Unexpected
There are a few of these icons known for their flippant fashion and fragrance and they’re not afraid to stick their nose into some unusual things. If you’re one of those trendsetters, HBNO’s Myrrh Essential Oil offers a sharp, exotic, resinous scent like no other. Wear it with a bolder look and you’ll see how the scent and style mesh just right. A combination great for turning heads at events where you need to be remembered.
4. The Timeless Classic: Enduring Elegance
There are also those fashion icons but theirs stays in style, even after time goes by. Traditional, enduring fragrances are often what they prefer when it comes to their favorite scent. Needless to say, if you are inspired by these timeless, HBNO’s Frankincense Essential Oil is a great choice. Whether it’s sophisticated or rich, its aroma never goes out of style. Add a trace of citrus notes to the fragrance to modernize the mold at the same time keep its royal essence.
How to Choose Your Essential Oil Fragrance Inspired by Icons
Buying a fragrance that resembles your style and honoring a fashion icon you admire can be great fun and educational. Here are a few tips to get you started:
1. Identify Your Style Icon
Who inspires you the most? Is it a classic icon like Audrey Hepburn or a new millennial trendsetter, like Zendaya? Selecting an essential oil fragrance you know resonates with your style can be easier if you understand their style.
2. Blend with Purpose
Once you have your inspiration, it’s time to start thinking of the message you want your fragrance to convey. The citrus and floral notes of lavender and sandalwood might bring a sophistication down, or a mix of the two could be a youthful and playful one.
3. Test and Experiment
Fragrance is like fashion, and that is about experimenting to find out what works for you. Play with multiple scents to build something new: here, begin with a single note like Ylang Ylang Essential Oil from HBNO. Who knows? And maybe you’ll find your signature scent based on the greats.
4. Pay Attention to Seasons and Occasions
Fashion icons aren’t just wondering what looks good, but what’s appropriate for the season or event. Just like with your fragrance. If you want light and breezy summer essential oils then check out lime or bergamot from HBNO. Richer and warmer scents like frankincense and myrrh can add a cozy but elegant vibe during the colder months of the year.
