You have found the dress of your dreams and now, it is time to consider the bridal fragrance that will be an indelible part of your special day. Do you prefer floral infusions such as jasmine and lilac or do you find yourself leaning towards smoky, earthy notes like tobacco and oud? Whichever end of the spectrum your preferences lie, we have curated an easy guide for you.
How to find the best bridal fragrance for your wedding
Before you get into all the iconic scents available in the fragrance aisle, it pays to consider which notes will feel truly symbolic to your relationship as a couple—is there a specific kind of flower that reminds you of your first date? To add more meaning to this special day, it also helps to factor in any emotional connection you may have with certain scents.
Looking for a fragrance with a rare scent, like the highly coveted oud, can make you feel like one in a million. Or if you are looking for something to rejuvenate your senses through the pre-ceremony stress, the fresh and fruity notes of lemon, bergamot or mandarin will undoubtedly serve as an instant mood-enhancer. Or maybe you are looking to minimise touch-ups? Opt for bold base notes, such as patchouli or musk, that will last all night long.
