Which wedding perfume will you choose?
Everyone needs to have a bridal perfume, but as there are hundreds of different perfumes on the market, it’s often hard to know where to start when you’re looking for a new scent. Here are some practical tips to help you when choosing your perfect wedding perfume, plus details of 8 top wedding bridal perfumes for brides.
Types of Bridal Perfume Fragrance
Bridal perfumes tend to fall into four main types – floral, fresh, woody or oriental.
Floral scents, such as those containing jasmine, rose or white flower fragrances, are very popular with brides, especially as they can often match the scent of the flowers used in wedding bouquets and flower arrangements.
Fresh scents, such as those containing notes such as citrus, green leaves, light fruits, sage or ocean inspired fragrance, have a clean, pure and crisp scent and are often popular with brides wanting a contemporary and light scent.
Woody scents are those which contain notes of musk, spicy woods and deep, rich citrus scents and can be popular with brides at winter weddings.
Oriental scents often have base notes of spiciness, amber, vanilla or wood and are popular with brides that want a heady scent that will get them noticed.
