If you're shopping for new perfume this season, you're probably encountering all kinds of high-concept, OTT, unorthodox concoctions. Have you heard about the perfume that smells of instant film and ink? How about the one that smells like milk and blood?
Yeah, perfume marketing is as effin' loony as ever. But not all the new perfumes are so crazily complex.
Consider the new crop of minimalist perfumes that are in vogue. Sometimes called skin scents, these perfumes contain relatively few notes (typically warm or animalistic ones such as musk, jasmine and amber) and have little or no alcohol, creating low sillage.
These new perfumes don't radically change your natural scent, they simply enhance it, and they're noticeable to others only up-close. Think of them as the tinted lip balms of fragrance: They make you smell like you, but prettier.
