Wedding day perfume

On your wedding day, not only do you want to look great, you want to smell great too! Have you decided on your wedding day perfume? Do you have a signature scent that you always wear? Or do you love to try different perfumes & fragrances depending on your mood? 

With scent being so closely related to memories, we think you should choose wisely when deciding your wedding day perfume. A smell can transport us straight back to a moment in time, however many years later it may be, so creating the scent for your wedding day will be the smell that will take you back to your wedding day forever. 

Maybe your venue will dictate what kind of wedding fragrance you will choose. For rustic barn weddings, or woodland wedding venues may have you thinking of woody scents like sandalwood, Patchouli or cedar.  

Or if you are having a summer wedding at a venue with pretty gardens and outdoor space, you may opt for a more floral scent like rose, jasmine or orange blossom. For winter weddings, you may want to go a bit deeper with your scent, using red berries or even chocolate notes.

And don’t forget, you can use fragrance to help with those wedding day nerves too! Fruity scents of oranges & lemons can keep you calm as well as making you smell wonderful too. And lavender does wonders for stress levels.

Allow time to try a new fragrance as sometimes it takes a few hours to tell if you really love the scent or not, it can smell completely different on your skin than it does in the bottle.

And remember, if you want to match your scent to your partners, woody and oriental notes, and ingredients like bergamot, sandalwood and grapefruit, are common in both masculine and feminine scents so you can truly both smell divine!
