Similar to clothes, certain perfumes work for certain occasions. Even though a perfume’s scent cannot be seen, it impacts one’s image, so it’s important to choose the appropriate one.

Day vs. Night

During the daytime, a citrus or floral type of perfume would fit to give a refreshing start for the day. For a citrus perfume, Phlur’s Tangerine Boy Eau de Parfum would be a great choice. On the other hand, night perfumes should give you comfort and peacefulness to help you ease you to sleep. Usually lavender helps a lot of people with going to sleep, so Le Labo’s Lavande 31 Eau de Parfum would be recommended.

Formal vs. Informal

Typically, when going to formal events, luxurious and deeper fragrances are suitable. At the same time, you should consider who you’re meeting and what type of event it is to find the best perfume. Usually perfumes with oud, amber, or patchouli make a great choice. Goldfield & Bank’s Ingenious Ginger could be an option. However, when going to informal events, wearing lighter and fresher fragrances would be more suitable like citrus, floral, or green fragrances. Ellis Brooklyn’s Florist Eau de Parfum would be a classic example of a floral fragrance.

Business vs. Romantic

When going to work, you should consider how you will have to interact with multiple people throughout the day. Since not all people like fragrances, it’s recommended to choose something that is subtle like a light floral or citrus. The two floral perfumes mentioned above could be an option, but it still may be too strong for some people. When going on a date night, though, a fragrance that is sweet and alluring would be suited. Kilian’s Apple Brandy on the Rocks could be an option.

In the end, even though wearing a perfume that is right for the occasion is important, there’s something more important: to wear a perfume that you like!
