Which fragrance for which occasion ?
Written on 12 July 2024
Throughout the year, there are many and varied occasions to go out : birthdays, weddings, evenings with friends or family, professional or romantic appointments, job interviews… For each of these occasions, besides the appropriate outfit, it is essential to find the fragrance that will accompany us throughout the event.
Whether you are one of the “loyal” ones to a single perfume for years or one who likes to change with the seasons and moods, choosing the right perfume can sometimes be tricky. We invite you to discover some tips that will help you avoid faux pas and feel comfortable in any circumstance.
Be true to yourself and wear the women’s or men’s fragrance that you like ! It’s the perfect opportunity to try a new perfume to “test” it with your loved ones : they will give good advice and tell you if this new fragrance suits you. However, we recommend adapting your perfume to the season and the time of the event : for a lunch on a terrace, opt for refreshing and summery notes with a summer perfume such as “Journal intime“, “Si tu savais“, or “Solenzara” for women and “1747“, “N°1“, or “Mezzanotte” for men.
If the event takes place in the evening or in the cool season, more pronounced fragrances will be perfect : “Féminissime“, “A demi-mot“, or “Ambre Iris” for women and “Aventure“, “Quai des Brumes“, or “Un hiver à Grasse” for men. Think of floral, woody, or fruity perfumes depending on the occasion.
Are you invited to a wedding ? Whether it’s a close one, a friend, or an acquaintance, the keyword is the same : elegance and discretion !
Save luxurious and opulent perfumes for other occasions and opt for discreetly refined fragrances : for women, it’s the time to enhance your femininity with the powdered and floral notes of “Plumetis” or “Evie“, or not-too-sweet fruity notes of “Pêle-mêle” or “Cantabelle“. For men, we recommend “Bel Canto“, “Citoyen“, or “Quai des Brumes“.
These fragrances will accompany you throughout the party without bothering your neighbors. If the party goes late into the night, we suggest complementing your perfume with matching scented body cream for long-lasting wear.
Are you summoned to a job interview or an important professional meeting ? Discretion is also key here, but above all, choose a perfume with which you feel comfortable ! This is not the time for improvisation or discovering a fragrance you have never worn. If the perfume you usually wear seems too overpowering for this kind of meeting, try a more discreet one a few days in advance to “tame” it and feel at ease on the big day.
Here are our suggestions for discreet work perfumes : “Si tu savais“, “Printemps étoilé“, “Brindille” will be sure bets for women, while men can highlight their elegance with “Aigues Vives Intense“, “1747” or ” Mezzanotte“.
The romantic date : This is the one we prefer, for good reason ! Butterflies in the stomach and seduction are on the agenda, so go all out !
For women, opt for voluptuous and sensual perfumes for a date like “Féminissime“, “Nuit câline” or “Canaïca” while men can seduce with the suave notes of “Sportissimo” or the virile notes of “Aventure” or “Quai des Brumes“. If it’s the “BIG” night, don’t hesitate ; the Private Collection is made for you ! The enchanting essences of “Sensuel Safran” or “Oud Vanille” will make your evening unforgettable.
At Galimard, the range of perfumes is vast and adapts to all situations and occasions, so don’t hesitate to test several ! The key is to find the one with which you will feel confident.
