I was invited to the Scent and Sensibility event hosted by Delhi Duty Free. It was a night full of fun and I couldn't have been happier to meet everyone who came. The guest speaker was Mr. Vir Sanghvi. He presented interesting details about the process of perfume selection,history of fragrance industry and introduced us all to the magical world of perfumes and scents.
5 tips from Mr. Vir Sanghvi on the art of selecting a Scent
1) Every woman should have at least 5 fragrances in her collection
2) Every man should have at least 3 fragrances in his collection3) Test the perfume on your skin and not on the paper strip 4) Wear a perfume for about 20 -30 minutes to figure out whether to buy it or not5) But the fragrance, not the brand I also learnt that you can layer scents too - so that you have your own divine brand of fragrance.5 Tips on layering your perfume :
1) The strong scent comes first
2) The subtle one comes after - You can spray it anywhere3) The fragrance you choose to wear should depend upon the time of the day and the occasion
4) Test the combination on yourself first
5) Try to combine complex perfumes with perfumes with base notes like vanilla,musk or wood
Later on we had a fabulous makeover session,drinks at I -kandy and dinner at Pullmans - La Riviera. The interaction sessions with other bloggers made the event so memorable.
