How To

Perfume for Darker Evenings: Richness Without Overfilling the Room

Choose richer perfume for darker evenings, from dry woods to soft resins, and adjust application for dinner tables, warm rooms and close company.

1

Choose evening richness by texture and sweetness rather than bottle colour.

2

A warm room can make perfume more noticeable than the journey outside suggests.

3

Dry woods, soft resins and restrained vanilla offer different kinds of depth.

4

Check scarves and earlier applications before adding more fragrance.

Can I wear a fresh perfume for an evening occasion?

Yes. An evening setting does not require a sweet or smoky fragrance. A familiar fresh scent can suit you better than a rich sample you have not worn before.

Should I change perfume between work and dinner?

Only if you want to. Check what remains of the daytime fragrance first. Adding a different perfume over a persistent base can produce a mixture you did not intend.
