A fragrance wardrobe is like a clothing wardrobe. You will want
fragrances for different occasions, moods, and climates. Some peopleers, His & Unisex Scents
I'm often asked if the principals of fragrance selection are the same for
women and men. Basically yes, because skin is skin and fragrance is
fragrance. While women's perfumes tend to have more floral and men's
colognes tend to have more citrus, woods, and lavender, times have
changed. The lines today are often crossed.
People often ask me if it's okay to wear a fragrance made for the opposite
sex. Why not? If it mixes well with your skin chemistry, try it. Remember
that fragrance changes with each person's skin chemistry. Chances are that
it will be unique on you, too. Unisex fragrances are hot, and the battle of
the sexes often heats up at the bathroom counter, where women grab their
man's favorite scent, and even vice versa. Many women enjoy the zesty
citrus or warm woods in men's fragrances, and many men like the
sensuality of women's spicy oriental or woody scents.
One final word of advice for couples: Coordinate your fragrances so that
one does not overwhelm the other. Complementary scents are the key.
Follow your nose and use the fragrance categories noted above.
wear just one fragrance, like the Balanchine and Russian ballerinas who
were assigned one perfume to wear at all times (and intensely on stage).
Most people, however, will enjoy the diversity of wardrobing. Why, even
the French King Louis XV was a devout believer in fragrance
wardrobes–he insisted his court wear a different perfume for every day of
the week.

Have you ever purchased a fragrance that was wonderful in the store, or
on your best friend, but when you tried it at home it didn't mix with your
skin chemistry? Each of us is unique, and so is our skin chemistry.
"Just as the sound of a symphony varies when performed on different
instruments, a fragrance differs when worn by different individuals.
"Why? The answer is varying skin chemistry. Diet, acid balance,
medication, skin oil, pigmentation, mood, and environmental factors
influence how a fragrance develops on the skin as well as its staying
power. You may notice a change in the way your favorite fragrances smell
if you have changed your diet, moved to a new climate, began taking a
new medication, or if you are under more stress than usual. Perhaps you
have become so accustomed to your regular perfume that you simply
can't detect it. This is called olfactory fatigue. If so, ask friends before you
put more on–it may already be strong enough. It might also be time to
experiment with new fragrances."
