Perfume IS an essencial: Here’s 4 reasons why

Good Afternoon Dear Reader! Happy Saturday directly from Argentina

Before we dive into today's topic, I wanted to talk briefly about why these "practical" and lighter and style blog posts are JUST as important as the heart-felt blogs on heavier topics and more practical ones like organization, cooking and cleaning tips

This blog is a place where I am trying to gather useful information to help us grow as feminine women, whether that is in our hearts, our homes, our lives, or even in our own skin. I believe in a well-rounded growth perspective: I am trying to improve many areas of my life, even if they are just practical and simple.

So today I wanted to talk about one of these more "practical and simple" topics: perfume.

At first glance this topic can seem kind of boring, like "yeah, no one likes smelling bad, so wear perfume, DUH." But I think perfume is so much more than that!

I believe that a spritz of perfume can actually improve your day, your confidence, and your overall aura as a feminine woman.

***DISCLAIMER: I know that smells can trigger allergic reactions in people, and there are actually fragrance-free zones such as certain churches or work environments. Do not break those rules just to follow my advice LOL!

The women jn my life were always had a passion from perfumery and I remember using it even as a child, but I only started being interested in it during my teenage years and in the past my interest and collection only grew. But I remember that during times of intense sadness in my life, I understand that something simple as even filling in your eyebrows can be a completely exhausting task! So much personal care falls off your daily routine when you can't handle what life is throwing at you and I think that adding perfume to your routine can be an easy way to elevate your grooming.

In order to really stick to this habit, I decided to focus on WHY I should wear perfume. So here we go! This may convince you too.

1. Perfume Adds LUXURY To Life

I know what some of you may be thinking: "I'm just at home, and deodorant is good enough for me!" or "I'm just in an office chair, why do I need to smell amazing?" and finally, "I'm just going to work out later so it doesn't matter!"

You know what I say to all those reasons?

You are an amazing woman and you deserve to have a little extra luxury in your day, even if you are behind a vacuum, a computer, or a treadmill.

Most of us aren't going to be lounging on a velvet chaise with champagne and a cashmere blanket wrapped around us tonight anyways! We're not living that lux life, so why not add extra luxury into our days?

When you're vacuuming the house or reading through spreadsheets, it can be easy to feel like cinderella BEFORE she went to the ball. A fragrance reminds you that you are an elegant, feminine WOMAN, and that you are WORTHY of a little luxury.

So pick up a fragrance you love, (doesn't have to be costly,) and indulge! You are WORTHY of that extra 10 seconds on yourself.

2. Perfume Can Make You HAPPIER!

So today I was spritzing on some body spray when I realized that I had a soft smile on my face. Seriously: I was just smiling to myself! Sol de Janeiro cheirosa 71 (my newest obsession! ) evokes a reaction of pleasure: it makes me smile.

Do you remember learning about the senses in school? They can evoke emotion, thoughts, feelings, and action. Touch can make you take action when you feel pain. Taste evokes pleasure when you encounter delicious food. Likewise, smell can evoke pleasant emotion or distaste.

If there was a little life hack that could have you smiling 2 more times a day than you already do, wouldn't you do it? Fragrance is SUCH simple way to accomplish this!

And a bonus? When you smell good, other people notice! I LOVE when my husband tells me I smell good, or when a friend goes in for a hug and comments that she loves the smell I'm wearing. Smelling good feels GOOD!

3. Perfume Helps You Get in Touch With FEMININITY

When I was a kid, Id watch every morning my mom and grandma get ready and wear their favorite perfumes ( that I have the smell in my memory to this day). I made a promise to myself that when I became a woman at the age of I would begin doing 3 things EVERY DAY: wearing lipstick, carrying a stylish purse, and wearing perfume.

I think I knew, even as a child, that perfume was for women. Full grown, feminine, gracious, beautiful women. Adding fragrance to your routine is a way of stepping into that feminine womanhood and embracing yourself.

Perfume can also be especially helpful for women who are kind of uncomfortable with their femininity. You can begin exploring the possibilities with just a small change. Add a bit of mystery, femininity, sweetness, or glamour to ANY outfit. Elevate your look and tip toe into femininity with a fragrance. Pair a ponytail and sneakers with some vanilla body spray: you might be surprised at how it makes you smile!

4. Perfume Helps You EXPRESS Yourself

I truly believe that the sense of smell is neglected in our modern culture. We are MUCH more focused on the visuals of our beauty routine: hair, fashion, makeup, etc. And why? Well, you can't smell a picture on Instagram! Why invest in something so small when no one can really experience it? Who cares about smell?

Well, maybe we SHOULD care! When you meet someone, you are taking them in through a lot of the senses: a firm handshake, the visuals of their face, the way their voice sounds, and yes, THEIR SMELL!

When you go out into the world, think about the entire picture of you as a person: your smell, your style, your "vibe." What is your overall aura? Perfume can help you add a dimension of creative expression to your overall vibe and style. Express yourself!

***Bonus tip: Hydration is essential for perfume performance and it starts from the inside by drinking enough water and continues with applying lotion before your perfume. (Even better if you can do it post shower when your skin is still a bit damp). Some people also apply a small bit of vaseline or petroleum jelly to your wrists and neck (the pulse regions) before you spray. It helps your scent last longer!

And closing, perfume can add luxury to our day, help us feel happy, help us get in touch with femininity, and allow us to express ourselves! What's not to love?

xoxo

Femme Fatale Guide: How To Layer Perfumes For A Seductive Scent That Lasts All Day Long

Scent Layering Tips:

Remember your routine starts in the shower. Use fragrance-free body wash/lotion if you want to ensure they don't mix with any perfume/fragrance mists. Otherwise, test to see whether your favorite scented body wash/lotions complement each other/work together to create your desired scent.

Apply scents from the heaviest to the lightest. Apply your heady perfumes (musky, deeper, spicier, and richer-smelling scents) before your lighter fragrances (brighter floral or citrus scents). Typically, bolder perfume scents have more dynamic and/or deeper base notes (the notes that last on the skin for the longest skin [4-6 hours -once the perfume has "dried down"]. Popular base notes include vanilla, oud, musk, patchouli, sandalwood, cedarwood) and can have common heart notes [actualize around 20-60 minutes after spraying the perfume after the top notes, or initial scent, starts to fade]. Some common heart/middle perfume notes include jasmine, rose, cinnamon, geranium, lavender, black pepper, pine, and lemongrass.

When in doubt, layer two perfumes (and/or scented body products) with the same/overlapping base and/or heart notes. Think a vanilla-scented body lotion with a vanilla-based perfume or scents with vanilla-jasmine notes like Valentino Donna Born in Roma EDP layered with Versace Crystal Noir.

Don't layer two heavy scents together. Think of scents like Tom Ford Black Orchid and Mugler Alien paired together. When combined the smell can be overwhelming and give you a headache. Huda Beauty created a great fragrance scent layering guide (in the hyperlink).

Hope this helps xx

scent profile: Rose Galore 🌹

hi everyone, long time no see! recently i’ve become seriously interested in building my life around smelling like a bouquet of roses! it can be light & innocent, sensual & romantic, or dark & sultry. i’m popping in to do a scent profile to just gush over the stuff i’ve been lusting over. let’s get started 🌹

body wash ♀

i feel like these two products need no introduction, they’re so popular and for good reason! dr bronner’s is a straightforward rose. i like castile soap because it’s so versatile, but it can be a bit drying so a little goes a long way. “dilute dilute dilute,” as they say! lush’s rose jam is a delight! it has rose, lemon, argan, and vanilla which provokes a sweeter rose, brightened with the lemon, and also has some warmth. overall, these two are perfect bases for layering. 🌹

scrubs ♀

scrubs! they just elevate your pampering routine, and scented scrubs are a perfect way to layer a scent. ren is a new brand to me but i do want to try this moroccan rose sugar body polish at some point. a sugar cane base, with damask rose to soften the skin and heart. herbivore’s coco rose is another moroccan rose scent scrub, however the coconut oil base leads me to think it’ll be a bit sweeter. furthermore, this scrub contains french pink clay so there’s an extra detoxing boost, lovely. 🌹

moisturizer ♀

i have a range for moisturizers and perfumes, tying back into my theme of exploring the interpretation of rose scents. for the innocent, we have eu’genia rose shea butter. i’ve tried the vanilla from this brand and it’s a lovely formula but still straight to the point. it provides a light rose scent but does wonders for moisturizing considering it has shea butter and blended oils. for a sensual rose, dionis (which is a pretty name btw) has their stargazer lily goat milk lotion. now i know you’re what you’re thinking, but this lotion includes lily, rose, amber and musk which just sounds divine together. (side note: they also have a titled Love lotion, which has jasmine, vanilla, and black currant, another heavenly floral which honestly could layer in among these stars). finally for a dark, sexy rose we have silk & noir’s rose and peppered plum body cream. now when i tell you this moisturizer is sultry. dark rose, plum, peppercorn, patchouli, vanilla. come on. i just imagine a beautiful, alluring woman wearing this! sounds so delicious. 🌹

perfume ♀

time for my favorite category! i hate that i love perfume so much, but again i have choices based on style. rosie by rosie jane is a naked rose. dressed up in nothing but musk and a hint of vanilla, she’s bare. its the type of scent so personal it requires someone to be nuzzled into your nape to be experienced. i quite happen to like that. moving on we have the infamous diptyque and their eau rose edp. this is for rose lovers indeed, combining two different types of the flower, along with lychee, chamomile, and artichoke, surprisingly. overall, i find this to dip into the romantic side with its sweetness of the fruit and honeyed aroma of the chamomile. lastly for our deeper rose, we have heretic’s dirty rose! dirty rose is just that, naughty, with pink pepper, cedar, damascena rose, black currant, patchouli and vanilla. now if you’re like me and saw nosferatu recently, the perfume house has been the talk of the town. i’m also interested in a few other perfumes like coeur noir and the movie inspired perfume! 🌹

well, that’s it for me. i hope you enjoyed this post as much as i did making it. i haven’t made one of these in awhile so it felt good to be inspired and do it again!

thank you for reading, talk soon <3
