WHY not harness a little fragrance of power and treat your guests to an all-round whiff on your wedding day! The sense of smell might be one of the most underrated of our five senses, but it is indisputably the most powerful when it comes to stirring memories. One waft of the fragrance you wear on your wedding day will plunge you into a reverie of sweet reminiscence in years to come.
Some people, especially men forget that scent is part of both the groom and bride’s attires. The selection of fragrance needs to be done way before the big day to align it with the scent of flowers for that extra impact. This is because body spray should enhance the scent of flowers, not mask it.
One day in future, scent can bring back memories of your big day.
It may bring back the face of your beloved one as you glide down the aisle, taste the creamy bubbles of champagne at your lips, or feel his arms around you as you interweave across the dance floor.
Without getting lost in analysing top notes and bases, the fragrance you wear on your wedding day can also speak volumes about you and your personality.
It’s about creating an aura, and whether it’s one of bold sensuality, timeless romance or chic style is entirely up to you.
Exquisite Fragrances is among others, the widely famed fragrance distributor in Zimbabwe.
Established in 2009, Exquisite Fragrances is one of distributors of delicate perfumes for both male and female, including roll-ons.
Their combination of body spray and roll-on helps one retain a perfect scent throughout the day.
Their range comprises sport, romantic, sensual, seductive, exotic, sophisticated, dynamic and powerful scents that can be sprayed in combination for that long lasting stay.
The position on whichthe scent is placed on the body also affects how long it will last. And because fragrances are made up of those different layers that wear away within minutes or hours, the scent that one wears changes as time passes.
For that prolonged lingering of the fragrance’s power, it is recommended to spray a fine mist onto the inner linings of one’s garments. That way, you’ll be treating your guests to a heavenly waft every time you move.
The whole issue of fragrance however, goes far beyond your personal choice of perfume while the wedding itself can wear its own fragrance. Scent brings a whole new dimension to your wedding that can enhance the theme and style of your day, as well as further increase the personalisation of the celebration.
Some brides might decide to wear the same perfume as their mother or grandmother wore on their wedding day for a nostalgic and personal gesture as a novel twist on her ‘something borrowed’ custom.
It is however important to know when to stop. You don’t want your husband, wife or even guest’s nostrils to be so overwhelmed that they end up not appreciating fully your glorious presence.
