The Compliment Formula: Projection & The Power of Fragrance Choice
Are We Wearing Perfume for Ourselves… or for Others?
But the real smile comes when someone says:
“Your perfume smells amazing, what are you wearing?”
Different fragrances perform differently. Some stay close to the skin. Some fill the air around you.
And some get compliments instantly because they are naturally pleasant and noticeable.
This simple guide by Al-Majid Perfumes will help you understand three main fragrance styles and which one suits the response you want.
