Let’s Get Scent-sational

We all want some heads to spin with a whiff of our sweet smelling fragrance. It’s not like back in the old days where only the elite had the right to smell good. With so many options out there for us, it does get a little difficult to choose a fragrance that’s just right! Let’s look at the fragrances that are leaving a lasting impression

FOR HER
Ladies, if you’re looking to indulge yourself, take a look at CK’s Euphoria. Its top notes start off with pomegranate, persimmon, and a lovely lush green accord. The heart notes then blend into a sensual lotus blossom, black orchid which then finish off with the base amber, violet, cream and wood notes. Euphoria is about sexiness, fantasy, and being captivating. Euphoria is for the woman who has the urge to break free from everyday life.

FOR HIM
Gents, for you, out there is something that will make you feel like a hero. Let me introduce you to Invictus by Paco Rabanne. Invictus is a fragrance that speaks of champions, victory and sporting achievements fought for in vast areas where sportsmen are viewed as rock stars, gods and gladiators. Invictus opens up all fresh and zingy thanks to grapefruits, spices and metal. The metallic tone is an unusual pair with the citrus and spice, but it creates an intensely invigorating effect. The top note subsides to a heart of warm herbs and patchouli. In the base, things get warm with salty ambergris, spiky woods and a touch of amber. Hints of metal and grapefruit continue throughout and ensure that even at its very warmest Invictus is still lively and ready to play.

MUSKY vs. FLORAL
Usually men go for musky scents because it oozes “masculinity” and women love that. Take it from someone who knows. Same goes for women. They prefer floral tones and trust us, men definitely like that.

YOUR SCENT
Fragrances come in these categories – Floral, Oriental, Chypre, Green, Fougere, Oceanic and Wood. Scents usually have different notes, i.e. layers of different scents. Ways you can elect the best perfume for yourself is to figure out which fragrance matches your personality. So if you’re an extrovert who’s always on the go you might like fruity or flirty scents and if you’re more down to earth and reserved maybe your fragrance could be woody ones. Avoid getting strong ones for both men and women because once you mix that with sweat, you’ll have a combination you want to stay miles away from.

FOR THE DESHI WEATHER
We all know that summer and the rest of the year in our beautiful country is usually very hot. As much as we all love Dhaka City, it gets unbearable some days. And we end up sweating profusely, which is very unattractive to say the least. Not all fragrances go with our very wet and humid weather. For boys the easiest option is to go for sporty fragrances. Its’ designed to be worn after you work out or play some sort of sports, basically after you sweat and here, you basically just need to step outside and you get wet. For us ladies, there are many fragrances from different brands that just screams summer. The names of these perfumes are dead giveaways. However if you can’t find them, or isn’t your style try finding combinations of citrus and crisp green scents , mix of lemon, rosemary and jasmine which are perfect in the heat.

WORKING HOURS vs. PARTY HOURS
During the day, when you’re off to work and meetings opt for more neutral notes. You should go with a fragrance that is a little fresher and lighter such as Lacoste Rouge for men and Davidoff – Coolwater for women, much like what you would wear here anyway. For women there is DKNY Delicious Night and Hugo Boss – Deep Red which is perfect for the evening. For men try Hugo – Hugo Boss or
Ferrari – Essence Oud for strong and empowering scents. Musky and heavy scents always do the work
