I think one of the most fascinating things about perfumes is how they change with each person’s skin chemistry. I’ve always thought of them as verbs, not nouns. Truth, I’ve found, is much the same. — Erica Bauermeister, The Scent Keeper 

As summer approaches, the scent of jasmine lingers in the air and wisteria blooms. And soon, the dewy petrichor of rain-filled Jozi afternoons will wash away the feeling of being stuck inside, something we’ve all been subjected to during this topsy-turvy pandemic. The truth is that it doesn’t make a difference where a scent comes from, fragrance is emotional, provocative and even transformative — it invokes memories: freshly baked bread, coconut-infused suntan lotion, your favourite perfume to remind you that we weren’t always in quarantine … even during lockdown, the simple act of dabbing perfume on your wrists brings familiarity.

Many fragrance fanatics have taken the time to rediscover the beautiful bottles sitting on their vanities and connect with once-loved scents. Others are overcompensating with stronger aromas to combat the day-to-day simplicity. Why? Bras may be gone but skincare and scent are the ultimate form of self care. Perfume is a part of our personal identity and in a sea of sameness, it’s a way to express ourselves fully.

Not just fragrance, but a little daub of lipstick or flourish of eyeliner can be the instant moodlifter you need to kickstart your morning.
