Office perfumes

What makes the perfect office perfume

Fresh, clean notes: citrus, tea and aromatics

Bergamot, green tea, lavender and green notes convey energy, order and clarity: the ideal olfactory calling card for meetings and demanding days. Seductive cedrat is our choice for a fresh, clean office perfume.

White musks and "skin scent" notes

White musks smell of cleanliness and well-cared-for skin: you notice them only at the right distance, that of a handshake or a conversation at the desk. Not a perfum superdose is intense and magnetic, perfect, among other things, for a day at the office.

Pale woods and discreet flowers

Cedar, light vetiver, iris and lily of the valley build elegant, authoritative fragrances, perfect for anyone who wants professional character without ever being intrusive; an excellent choice for anyone looking for a fragrance of this kind is Woodflake jscent

How to wear perfume at work: olfactory etiquette

At the office apply 1-2 sprays at most, on the wrists or at the base of the neck, and avoid topping up in an open-plan space. Leave intense gourmands, ouds and big sillages for the evening: in closed, air-conditioned rooms powerful fragrances are amplified. If you work with clients or patients, favour musky and citrus scents that are almost imperceptible.

Frequently asked questions about office perfumes

Which perfume is best suited to the office?

The ideal fragrances for the office are citrus, musky, tea-based or built on pale woods: clean, discreet notes with a contained sillage, pleasant even in shared, air-conditioned spaces.

How many sprays of perfume should you wear to work?

One or two sprays are enough: on the wrists or at the base of the neck. At the office a perfume should be noticed only at close range, not fill the room.

Which perfumes should you avoid at the office?

Better to avoid very intense fragrances with a big sillage: powerful ouds, sugary gourmands and opulent orientals. In enclosed spaces they can become intrusive: save them for the evening.

Does a discreet perfume last long enough for the whole working day?

Yes, if you choose a niche Eau de Parfum with a musky or woody base: the sillage stays close to the skin but lasts 6-8 hours. Alternatively, keep a handbag-size bottle for a light top-up halfway through the day.
