Influence of fragrance
More than clothing or any other accessory, the amazing thing about fragrance is that it blends with our minds, creating long-lasting memories and emotional associations.
The right fragrance has everything that represents womanhood; the comfort of presence, the power of femininity, and much more.
Women transmit gestures that are purely intangible, and the amazing thing about women’s scent is that it is more than just a smell; it is a feeling, it is a memory, it is your aura.
