HOW TO MATCH YOUR PERFUME WITH YOUR HOME INTERIOR

Could we smell the colors? In some people with synasthesia, they are able to perceive color with a specific scent is as natural as breathing. For instance, if they see blue, they might immediately connect it to the smell of peppermint. But while it’s believed around one in 2000 people worldwide have synaesthesia, it turns out that making a connection between colour and fragrance is actually far more common.

Interestingly, some researcher has discovered that some shade/scent pairings are almost universal, even transcending culture and taste.

The pink and red are near-universally associated with fruity scents, while shades of brown emanate an earthy fragrance. By taking this approach, why not pair your perfume with your home interior? Whether you’re matching a scented candle to your interior or finding the perfect complement for an outfit, here are five combinations to try

In the study, shades of green were widely associated with woody fragrances. So if your interior features olive or khaki, or is accented in a rich, deep emerald, look for a scent with cedarwood, cypress or fir, such as the Cypres de Provence candle.

From chocolate to fawn, the rich spectrum of brown shades is typically associated with earthy or nutty notes. Complement a tonally tan outfit with Desert Nights Parfum: this sophisticated scent uses notes of spicy saffron, moss and balsam to create an intoxicating earthy effect.

The clarity of light blue means it’s often associated with minty fragrances, like Tunisian Mint Tea. Alternatively, it’s hard to deny the aquatic associations of deep azure or turquoise, and if these shades dominate your interior palette, you’ll find an ideal complement in Paradiso del Sole Room Spray.

Not surprisingly, light neutral shades like white and dove grey are often associated with clean, soapy scents. How to match perfume to your outfit in these colours? A composition of dewy rose and sparkling citrus notes creates a fresh, clean and pure scent – find it in Persian Rose Perfume Oil.

Pink is typically associated with luscious fruity fragrances, and this alluring combination creates an effervescent feeling in any room. Embrace it by pairing a pink interior with Emirates One & Only Wolgan Valley 02, which includes a summer-centric bouquet of citrus, nectarine and tropical fruits alongside floral notes of peony and jasmine.
