No Perfume Smells the Same on 2 People: How to Choose One that Works for You

My first question for the experts was, why does a fragrance sometimes smell so good in the bottle but smell differently once it’s applied to the skin? I have personal experience with this. A few years ago, I was testing luxury perfumes with Who What Wear’s Beauty Director, Erin Jahns, when the fragrance expert who was helping us spritzed a sweet scent on her wrist. She loved the scent and offered her wrist up so I could smell it. I loved it too, so the expert then spritzed it on my wrist. When it hit my skin, it smelled…different, and not in a good way. When I expressed confusion and frustration, the fragrance expert laughed and said some scents just smell differently when applied to different people. Ever since then, I’ve been wondering why that is. 

Wonny Lee is the Co-Founder & CEO of ELOREA, a brand that’s known for fine fragrances inspired by the founders’ Korean heritage. He says finding a fragrance that works for your specific body chemistry is kind of like cooking. “Scent is a complex phenomenon that involves a combination of different aromatic ingredients,” he says. “When worn, fragrances interact with body chemistry, temperature, humidity, beauty products, and even clothing.” Furthermore, he says how a fragrance is applied can also affect the final scent. For example, if you rub it in (which is not recommended), it might smell differently than if you just spritzed it or dabbed it on your skin. “The final fragrance is a result of the interplay between many different factors, and it can be difficult to predict how it will smell on any given person.”
