This is one of my favorite pro tips for all the couples out there! Scent memory, or odor memory, is when a fragrance is closely linked onto a memory. This is often referred to as the "Proust Effect". Basically, if you wear a new perfume/cologne on your big day, it'll take you back to that moment every time you smell it! Several weddings that I have photographed, have taken part in this. It's becoming quite the tradition! Lots of couples even melt waxes or diffuse oils in their suites while getting ready! Here are my top fragrance recommendations:
- "Princess" by Vera Wang - this scent lasts all day and it is a personal favorite of mine! The notes are: vanilla gourmand, water lily, Tahitian tiare flower, apple, vanilla, and amber. Here is a link to purchase: https://amzn.to/3Beq0OO
- "Daisy Dream" by Marc Jacobs - This is the perfect scent for those who don't like scents that are super sweet. It is light and floral - the perfect scent for a wedding day! Here is a link to purchase: https://amzn.to/2TgMA8B
- "Down the Aisle" by Scentsy - This scent was, literally, created for couples to melt in their suites while they are getting ready during their wedding day! The notes are: peony blossoms, watery pear, and fresh greens. Here is a link to purchase: https://madaboutscentswv.scentsy.us/shop/p/70375/down-the-aisle-scentsy-bar
- "The Dreamer" by Versace - I would describe this scent as magnetic, refined, and powerful. Definitely a scent that will leave you feeling confident! The notes are: juniper, mugwort, and tarragon. Here is a link to purchase: https://amzn.to/3hQ5blv
- "Blue" by Nautica - This scent is masculine and clean. It lasts for 10-12 hours and is perfect for wedding days! The notes are: sandalwood, basil, pineapple, jasmine, and musk. Here is a link to purchase: https://amzn.to/2UlJvof
