Best frgrances to match your favourite outfit
Matching the fragrances you’re wearing to your outfit is truly an art form. In every perfume addict’s life, there comes a point where they realize different clothes go best with different perfumes. If you’re at that exciting point in your perfume journey, here are a few pointers that might help you out. Happy perfuming!
If you’re rockin’ denim
Denims are always a vibe, and very versatile. We could be talking about a denim jacket, jeans, overalls, dress, or a classic double denim combo (if you can pull it off, you can pull it off, okay?).
Denim usually calls for simple and down-to-earth perfumes.
The best perfume matches for denim tend to be earthy, woody, and green. This is because denim clothes are ultimately very down to earth, both in their origin and their usage today. The dye originally used to stain denim was indigo dye using the leaves of the indigo plants, and today most people own a pair of jeans. Plus, denim clothes are usually very casual and day-to-day wear, so extravagant scents aren’t needed to be paired with them.
Here are our top picks of fragrances for a denim outfit.
Hunter for Men by Armaf
Top notes: Grapefruit, Rosemary, Cedar Needles, and Cardamom
Middle notes: Ylang-Ylang, Tuberose, and Olibanum
Base notes: Cedar, Sandalwood, and Vetiver
This perfume can be a casual, go-to perfume you reach out to when you’re styling a denim outfit. It’s very down-to-earth, literally, because of the cedar needle, cedar, rosemary, and vetiver notes. The floral notes present aren’t too sweet either. Just a few spritz of this cologne on and you’ll be ready for your day out!
Wood and Sage for Women by Jenny Glow
Top note: Lemon
Middle notes: Peach and Watery notes
Base Notes: Cedarwood and Musk
Jenny Glow is a known dupe for Jo Malone perfumes. Now, just because it’s a dupe doesn’t mean it’s bad quality and isn’t long-lasting. A little perfume enthusiast inside tip for ya. This perfume in particular is an airy, subtle perfume. It’s the perfect scent for going out running errands, work or school.
Fragrances for light cotton outfits
Cotton is the king of all fabrics. It’s natural, keeps you cool on a hot day, and is arguably one of the most versatile fabrics on the market. What kind of perfumes should you be rocking if you’re wearing a cotton outfit?
The thing to keep in mind is that cotton is a summertime material. It’ll keep you cool and breezy on hot, humid summer days. So most summertime perfumes match very well with cotton outfits.
The best summertime perfumes are fruity, fun and fresh, so with cotton, you want to go for something with a lot of fruity notes in it. Floral is fine as well, but I think you know that if you had to choose between a floral and fruity cologne for summer, you’d choose the fruity one.
Here are our favorite fruity fragrances that pair perfectly with cotton outfits!
Trésor by Lancôme
Top notes: Peach, Rose, Apricot Blossom, Lilac, Pineapple, Lily-of-the-Valley, and Bergamot
Middle notes: Rose, Iris, Heliotrope, and Jasmine
Base notes: Peach, Apricot, Vanilla, Sandalwood, Amber, and Musk
This is the fruity perfume to go for if you’re styling a cotton piece for a semi-casual event, or a casual event if you’re fancy. The peach, apricot, pineapple, and bergamot notes make up a fun, citrusy perfume that’s going to perfectly suit your cotton outfit.
Club de Nuit Intense Man
Top notes: Lemon, Pineapple, Bergamot, Black Currant, and Apple
Middle notes: Birch, Jasmine, and Rose
Base notes: Musk, Ambergris, Patchouli, and Vanilla
Styling a cotton shirt on vacation? Wearing a cotton button-up at a formal event? Club de Nuit Intense Man is going to elevate your outfit to the next level. Imagine putting on a light cotton shirt, and everyone getting a fresh, fruity whiff of Lemon, Pineapple, Bergamot, Black Currant, and Apple when they walk past you. Utter perfection!
Fragrances to pair with sensual silk
Silk clothes are the utmost of luxuries. A silk dress or shirt will elevate you above the rest at any occasion. Silk clothes also tend to be reserved for nighttime occasions. So luxurious, exotic, nighttime perfumes tend to be perfect for silk clothing.
Exotic fragrance notes like Jasmine, Sandalwood, and Incense are often paired with silk clothing because they reflect and exude the luxury of the outfit without clashing with it.
If you want a few examples of fragrances that’ll be perfect for silken outfits, look no further. You can’t go wrong with these choices.
Glam Jasmine for Women by Michael Kors
Top note: Jasmine
Middle notes: Cassis and White flowers
Base notes: Sandalwood
Nothing more satisfying than slipping into your favorite silk gown! But elevating the look with a sexy, exotic perfume that has jasmine and sandalwood notes? You’re going to be stopping people in their tracks with this perfume on.
Sauvage for Men by Dior
Top notes: Bergamot, Mandarin Orange, and Elemi
Middle note: Sandalwood
Base notes: Olibanum, Tonka Bean, and Vanilla
You can’t go wrong with Dior. A silk shirt itself is a statement, but pair it with a perfume that compliments it and elevates it, and you’ll be answering questions on what cologne you’re wearing.
Fragrances to wear with wool or cashmere
Wool and cashmere are the ultimate luxuries of the winter months. They will keep you warm and maintain your style at the same time. Your wool and cashmere clothes deserve their own fragrance because any special outfit deserves its own fragrance.
Since wool and cashmere are reserved for the colder months, winter perfumes would go perfectly with these outfits. The perfect winter fragrances will give you a sense of warmth in the coldest of days. They tend to be packed with delicious spicy notes and heavy woody notes. These perfume notes are made of heavier chemical compounds and will linger around on your person and show through layers of clothing you put on in the winter.
So look for fragrances with spice notes like cardamom, nutmeg, pink pepper, and saffron and woody notes like cedar, sandalwood, and white wood to spray on your favorite cashmere sweater or wool piece next winter.
Club de Nuit Intense for Women by Armaf
Top notes: Rose, Saffron, and Geranium
Middle notes: Nutmeg, Pepper, Violet, and Caraway
Base notes: Patchouli, Vanilla, Agarwood (Oud), and Amber
Wool or cashmere will keep you warm in the colder months, and a nice spicy, woody perfume will add on to the warmth. It’ll not only warm you up but seep a sense of warmth into others around us. So bundle up and spray on your Club de Nuit Intense for Women and spread cheer in the colder months!
La Nuit de l’Homme by YSL for Men
Top note: Cardamom
Middle notes: Lavender, Virginia Cedar, and Bergamot
Base notes: Vetiver and Caraway
Elevate the sexiness of a woolen sweater or a cashmere cardigan with the spicy YSL cologne you’ll live for. The sweet lavender, woody vetiver, and citrusy bergamot in this YSL cologne will induce a cozy sense that’ll match not only your outfit but also complement the wintry weather.
