Make it make Scents!

STUDENT LIFE OUTSIDE EDITOR “OOOOOHH TEEANGE GIRL PERFUME SMELLS SO SEDUCTIVE SWEET!” “Are you wearing Jean Paul Gaultier's "Pour Homme"? That first spray of perfume you ever douse on your skin is a rite of passage. No more relying on Suave body wash to give off a sweet muted chemical smell, now we’re grown up wearing fragrances that smell like anything from toasty vanilla to cedarwood. Fragrance is a way we can express ourselves with minimal effort; from attracting that special someone using the science of smell or wearing a perfume that is catered to you, the power of the scents we wear is one way to captivate the people around us. However, such compelling odors can be over-sprayed to headache-inducing, if not used correctly. This won’t make people smell you and admire what you offer; it’ll make them pull their shirt over their nose every time they see you. Ergo, how we wield fragrance is a skill everyone should be able to perform successfully. I’ve been complimented on my amazing perfumes and scent in the past; so, Chargers, let me tell you the do’s and don’t when wearing perfume so you too can be like me! Kachow! The basics: maintaining a natural attractive scent: “ Fragrance? Love that guy. Homelander without the home.” - Reese Richards. From the body wash to the laundry detergent used to wash your clothes, keeping up with the virtue of cleanliness is one of the best ways to keep yourself smelling fresh. One of my favorite ways to have a natural lingering musk is to apply lotion after you shower to moisturize your skin and give off a clean smell. If it’s scented then it will last longer! Find THE perfume that suits you: “ Hers by Burberry, it smells like women cologne and it turns heads.” - Tania Maldonado. Take a trip to your local mall, it’s time to find the fragrance of your dreams! Start by figuring out if you have a certain preference in perfume such as florals, orientals, woody, or freshness. This will help you narrow down your options for your next purchase. Try using the testers and find which one makes you smile the most. Keeping up being clean…. “ Wash your clothes properly and wear deodorant.” - Aiden Messerian Nobody naturally smells like Ariana Grande Cloud ( I truly wish we all did) keeping up with our scent comes down to what happens at home. Deodorant, wearing clean clothes, WASHING YOUR HAIR, brushing your teeth TWICE a day, and washing your hands are the most important principles you must practice to wield a powerful perfume.
