How to Smell Good: Your Step-by-Step Guide to Staying Fresh

Let's be honest, here. One of the greatest confidence boosts is when you walk by someone and hear the words "What is that you have on? You smell really good!"

It's simple, but it feels so great. It let's you know during your selfcare routine that day you did something right. We'd like to think the saying is true "when you look good, you feel good"; fragrance and your selfcare routine plays a huge part in that. Let's jump into it!

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

There's something undeniably attractive about a person who smells good. It can elevate your confidence, make you more appealing and even subtly tell a story about who you are. However, mastering the art of how to smell good isn't always straightforward. It involves much more than just spraying some perfume or cologne. It's a balance of personal hygiene, choosing the right scents, and knowing how to correctly apply and layer those fragrances for lasting impact.

 

How to Smell Good 101

Understanding Our Body Odor

 

We are individuals and our 'natural scents' are all different.

The not so cute part? What we smell like is generally a result of the bacteria living on our skin. They break down proteins and fats in our sweat into acids, creating odor. Understanding this is the first step to learning how to smell good. 

Daily Use of Deodorants

This may sound rhetorical, but rule #1 don't skip your deodorant and if you want to reduce sweat, keeping your underarm hair low can help with that. 

Daily Habits to Enhance your Natural Scent

Here are a few ways to enhance your natural scent and stave off odor.

• Stay Hydrated: Drinking plenty of water helps flush toxins out of your body and thus, helps you smell fresher. Majority of our bodies are made up of water so daily hydration is not only key, it is necessary.

• Proper Hygiene: Regular showers, brushing teeth twice a day, and regular grooming can go a long way in ensuring you smell good all day.

• Clothing: Clothes can trap odors. So, wearing fresh clothing and using detergents with a light scent can help you smell good.

• Bodycare Hack: This is a hack we've tried and it does work. So, before you apply fragrance there's a hack going around that says to apply an oil or body butter to your skin directly before putting on your perfume or body mist. This application can help the fragrance stick and last longer on your skin. Hence, walking by and someone smelling your luxe perfume that you put on at 7 AM. 😉 

Choosing the Right Fragrance for You

One size does not fit all when it comes to fragrances. It's important to take time to find scents that you feel represent you, complement your natural scent and make you feel confident. A signature scent can be a powerful thing.

Making Fragrances Last Longer

Did you know that there are 'hot spots' on your body where perfume will smell stronger and last longer? Or that moisturized skin holds scent better? Discover these tips below.

• 'Hot Spots' for Perfume- wrists, inner elbows, behind ear lobes, back of knees
• Moisturized Skin Hack- alright, this is a good one. Don't just apply an oil or body butter, use a fragranced body butter that matches your perfume scent. This will elevate the scent profile, moisturize your skin & help your perfume scent last longer. Yeah, this is the one!
