A perfume can enhance your personality, but how do you find the scent that really suits you? According to perfumer Kristof Lefebre of MIGLOT Parfums, there are no bad perfumes, only bad matches.
But how do you find that perfect perfume-match? Kristof was invited by Flair to share his tips for choosing a fragrance that completely suits you.
Smell can affect our moods. This is because we interpret odors using our limbic system, the part of our brain responsible for emotions. Therefore, we experience them as something emotional and evoke memories. Kristof of Belgian perfume brand Miglot says “It has even been proven that scent can evoke more powerful memories than pictures." There is a science that studies the effect of smell on how we feel and behave. It is called aromacology or olfactotherapy. For example, scent is used on athletes before a big game, specifically to get them ready and make them perform better. A perfume should be worn because it makes you happier, not because someone else smells it.Kristof from Miglot: “You visit different places every day, where different smells stimulate you each time. Without realizing it, they affect your mind, making you feel that you have experienced more. Your olfactory system gets used to the smell of your own house or apartment, so you no longer consciously think about it. While it makes you feel safe, it doesn't exactly make your day more engaging. Therefore, make use of scents to provide a little more variety. So make the smell of your house or apartment more interesting by, for example, scenting different rooms differently. To do so, use scented sticks, home perfume, scented candles or ceramic pendants that you can perfume with your favorite perfume.
