Your facial structure and appearance is subconsciously connected to certain smell profiles, so this guide is dedicated to helping you find your signature scent that you can use for the better part of your entire life.
1. Facial Contrast = Scent Contrast
High Contrast:
Dark Hair + Light Skin or Vice Versa
Sharp Eyebrows
Defined Eyes/Jaw
Strong Shadows in Face
High Contrast Faces Scent Profile:
Oud
Tobacco
Leather
Incense
Black Pepper
Amber
Patchouli
Examples: Dior Fahrenheit, Man in Black Bvlgari, Baccarat Rouge 540
Low Contrast:
Soft Features
Lighter Brows
Facial Tones look more blended
Lesser Angularity
Low Contrast Faces Scent Profile:
Citrus
Neroli
White Musk
Green Tea
Aquatic Notes
Lavender
Examples: Versace Pour Homme, Le Male, Prada L’homme
2. Angular Vs. Softer Features
This is pretty self explanatory, the more angular your features , the more you will benefit from woody, smoky, resinous, spicy notes and soft/rounded faces will be more suited to gourmand, creamy woods and powdery musks
3. Skin Tone and Temperature
This is partly biological,
Warm Climate/Oily Skin:
Amplifies sweetness and projection
Handles spicy and oud very well
Cool Climate/Dry Skin:
Very Weak Projection
Benefits from musks, ambroxan and brighter woods
4. The “Visual Scent Congruence” Rule
People Rate Fragrances as better when the scent matches the face,
Examples:
Imagine a sharp intimidating face wearing a soft baby powder scent
Or a soft approachable face wearing a sharp aggressive oud
Now both scents smell very good, but they don’t suit the person wearing them.
5. Scent Strat
Have a “Signature Scent”:
One that fits your face from the aformentioned
Special Occasion Fragrance:
One that has contrasting notes and excellent projection, only for certain occasions.
Examples:
Initio Side Effect, Tobacco Vanille Tom Ford, Paco Rabanne 1 Million Elixir, Parfumes De Marly Herod, Frederic Malle Musc Ravageur
