Have you ever wondered why a certain scent or fragrance can take you back to a moment? Our olfactory scenes are the strongest and the most efficient when it comes to locking in and bringing forth memories. Thus, if you’re ever looking to shake things up and try something different, the first thing to do is change your fragrance. And when better to do this than when the season is changing, like it is right now?
Monsoon brings with it a refreshing respite from the scorching heat. It’s time to put away the summer fragrances and turn to something a little more floral, aqua or woody (depending on your preferences) you can use for the rest of the year. To help you find your scent, we’ve rounded up fragrances that have dropped recently. Take your pick and you’ll want to use these until the very last drop.
