Our olfactory system, or sense of smell, is closely situated to the parts of our brain that are connected to memories and emotion. So, that’s the explanation why certain scents strongly trigger memories, whether from childhood or precious moments we cherish deeply. Your wedding is one such special memory that can also be preserved by a scent. That’s why a lot of brides really pay careful consideration to the perfume or cologne they choose to wear on their special day.
We went straight to our Bride and Breakfast Facebook Community to get the low down on what are some of the popular and well-loved fragrances Brides wore for their weddings. What’s special about fragrances is that you can keep enjoying them beyond your wedding. And no matter what scent you choose, it’s for sure something that is personal and special to you!
If you’re still on the lookout for your signature wedding scent, here are some wedding day fragrances loved by our community!
Baccarat Rouge 540
This fragrance line has gained popularity recently for its luxe and fresh scent. With notes of cedar, jasmine, and safron, Baccarat Rouge 540 is for the bride who loves a touch of woody tones without being too overpowering.
Bride Veronica says, “I love its unique scent. Hindi masakit sa ilong. A bit sweet and girly. It’s also long-lasting!”
Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet
I think Miss Dior can already be considered a classic, having been around for decades! This is a perfume that makes you think of blooming roses, peonies, and sweat peas. Miss Dior could be your scent if you want something feminine, subtle yet makes you feel as radiant as blossoming flowers during springtime!
Recommended by Bride Angela, she says Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet is “super fresh and long-lasting!”
Diptyque Eau Capitale
This luxurious fragrance will immediately greet you with the scent of roses followed by bergamot and patchouli. This is for the bride who loves scents that leave a trail and a lasting impression as she walks past.
Bride Jermaine commented, “It’s like a bed of roses, very elegant and classy. Not for everyday wear but for special occasions. Got it so whenever I would spray, it would remind me of my wedding day.”
YSL Libre
Depending on how this fragrance harmonizes with your skin chemistry, you may first notice its lavender essence, orange blossom, and jasmine. As YSL Libre settles, it warms up with notes of vanilla. Some say this is a versatile scent that you can wear either day or night, while others prefer to wear it on special occasions, say, a wedding!
Bride Hanna says YSL Libre “smells so luxurious and classy.”
Chanel Coco Mademoiselle
Chanel’s Coco Mademoiselle has the ability to make you feel effortlessly elegant and confident. Its top notes of orange, bergamot, and grapefruit give off freshness, while middle notes of rose, jasmine, and lychee bring you that romantic feel. Then warmer notes of vanilla, patchouli, and musk wrap you in sophistication!
Bride Willian Joy says Chanel’s Coco Mademoiselle is “so classy and lasts long!”
Diptyque Fleur de Peau
If you’re looking for a clean, and powdery scent, then you might just like Diptyque’s Fleur de Peau. It gives you notes of powdery florals and musk, long-lasting yet subtle! Soft, intimate, and romantic.
Bride Olivia says Diptyque Fleur de Peau is “very clean and musky. It smells like your skin but better!”
