You loved the fragrance when you first bought it, but now, when you sniff your pulse points, you smell… well, nothing. Why is this happening?
You’ve probably heard people saying: “Your nose just got used to the scent,” and they are right! Science calls it nose blindness, which happens when you’ve become so used to a fragrance that your senses start to ignore it. It comes down to our primitive programming: Your senses are simply ignoring what is familiar, to prioritise new smells that could signal danger.
An easy hack to overcome this phenomenon? Simply change your fragrance more often. Investing in a fragrance wardrobe — even if it is sample sizes — will keep the aromas interesting and your senses intrigued.
To ensure your fragrance choices are unique enough to keep your nose happy, experiment with perfumes from different fragrance families. Our list of scents from some of the most popular categories will satisfy even the pickiest noses!
