Switch up your signature fragrance this January
Switching up your fragrance from time to time is key to ensuring you still reap the olfactive benefits of wearing a fragrance. We are very quick to adapt to scents and can often lose the ability to smell fragrance on ourselves after time. This is because our sense of smell is primarily designed for our survival. Once our brains understand that our perfume is not putting our lives in danger, it no longer keeps the scent in your conscious state of mind.
The New Year presents the perfect time to give your fragrance wardrobe a little refresh. The cool weather and the desire for change make refreshing green and woody scents the ultimate switch up of choice. These 5 fragrances are each inspired by the great outdoors and pair perfectly with this time of year.
