One can stand out in a crowd for many things – style, aura, composure and so much more. But right off the bat, scents are ones that really linger. And, of course, one perfect way to exude that impressive fragrance is through perfumes. As fashion extraordinaire Coco Chanel says, “It is the unseen, unforgettable, ultimate accessory.”
Perfumes are the statement pieces that give out an impression of you in just a whiff. They don’t always have to be all pricey and luxurious anyways; they just have to be you. For starters, check out this list of local perfume brands that are worth the try.
