Kaizen Lifestyle: Winter Scents

WINTER SCENTS

Winter is upon us meaning its time to reshuffle our closets and take out those coats and knits. Does it mean the way we smell must also change? Yes. In summer we dress light and colourful hence our fragrances will be fresh, fruity and very light. In winter we layer our clothes wearing more, it’s the vest, the shirt the knit then the coat so you will need a stronger fragrance that will still stand out despite being covered by all those winter items. The question which is which notes does one go with, firstly we get four major fragrance groups: florals, oriental, woody and fresh. In winter try to avoid fresh and florals rather go for the woody and orientals these are more heavy, sensual and spicy. These notes last longer, think leather, forests and tobacco they are very manly, strong and full bodied. Pick from these winter favourites and you sure to keep warm.
