How to choose a natural replacement for your mainstream perfume
With scent playing such an important role in your happiness, it’s crucial to make sure the perfume you’re wearing is the right perfume for you. But even more than that, having the wrong perfume can make you sick and that’s something I’m passionate to offer a natural solution to.
I love owning and running a natural perfume company because I get to help people feel incredible with the products I make. Even though it can be difficult to describe my different scents with only words, I have a few options if you’re still not sure about what perfume you should choose.
Firstly, there’s my blog post…
On how to match your perfume to your personality which will help you choose out the right scent for you based on who you are as a person. This guarantees a closer match and a heightened sense of self-awareness, because you know who you are better than anyone else.
Secondly, I created a sample pack…
It’s called the Collections Pack and it has all nine scents inside it in 2.5ml sample size bottles. This means you can play with the different scents depending on your mood and find the scent that really matches who you are. This is our best seller and is the best place to start if you’re looking to make the switch to your first natural perfume.
Finally, I created a quiz that helps you choose a perfume based on who you are as a person. It only takes a couple of minutes to complete and once you’re done, you’ll have a perfume recommendation that matches who you are perfectly.
