SCENT

Perfumania fragrance consultant Jan Moran suggests selecting one scent from each of the four major fragrance categories: citrus, wood, Oriental and aromatic. "Citrus scents are fresh and brisk for warm weather and daytime wear. Wooded fragrances are warmer and act as a ballast for cool weather. Rich and spicy Oriental fragrances inspire passion for romantic evenings. Aromatics are balanced blends of citrus, wood, spice and lavender and are the most versatile," Moran explains. Other rules of thumb: Use light scents for warm weather and daytime, heavier fragrances at night and in cooler weather. "A scent is meant to draw someone in," says Moran. "A spritz or splash on the neck and another on the wrists or forearms will usually suffice."
