LIFT YOUR MOOD WITH A FRESH SCENT TO MATCH THE SEASON
‘IT’S time to think of fragrance as part of your wardrobe. In the same way we want to wear different patterns and fabrics as the weather changes, we’re more attracted to smells which reflect the season — such as florals and citrus scents,’ says Nicola Pozzani, bespoke perfumer for Floris.
‘In winter, we want warmer fragrances. As the temperature rises, we want to feel fresher.’
A 2016 Japanese study showed the smell of citrus can help boost mood. And the scent of lemon has been known to promote concentration and has calming properties. Try the violet fragrance of Daisy Twinkle by Marc Jacobs, pictured (£54.50, the fragranceshop. co.uk). Or Escada Sorbetto Rosso (£27, beautybase. with watermelon blossom and sweet citrus.
