Some scents are meant only for body fragrance, others are meant as room scents, and scents that can be both for body and for room scenting. Here is a list of things to ask yourself if the scent is suitable for body, room or both:
1. Fragrance/Scent Fatigue
First, ask yourself, “Can I smell this scent all the time? or will I find the scent irritating after awhile?” Body fragrances are meant to be smelled once and but leave a lasting impression. Body scents are not designed to be smelled all-day, everyday. Room scents on the other hand are formulated so that you can smell it non-stop and still not get irritated by the smell. Room scents mimic the fragrances found in nature because they are the most pleasing and least irritating.
While some body fragrances can smell natural, generally, it is not used for room scenting. So next time you select a fragrance meant for room use, ask yourself “Will I get scent fatigue if I consistently smell this all the time?”
2. Application Area
Body Fragrances work for body application because they stick to the human skin. If normal body fragrances were used as a room scent, the smell wont last long as the scent has nowhere to attach to making it fall to the ground. Room fragrances work because they are designed to be carried by room air. Room fragrances are a lot lighter than body fragrances making it easier for the scent to stay in the air for a long time. Room scents are also designed to attach to fabrics in furniture making their smell last longer.
3. Target Audience
The scent used for room fragrances have gone through multiple studies to confirm that they smell good for the majority of the audience. This allows the scent to be used in public areas as only a few people will find the scent irritating. On the hand, body fragrances are meant to be smelled only once. Smelling it once leaves a lasting impression about the person, but always smelling it will make the scent irritating and give people headaches due to the pungent smell.
