The air around you is filled with the smell of sweet spices and people dress cozier on this holiday. How do you pick a fall scent for this Thanksgiving season, the one that blends with all these smells, colors, and general vibes perfectly, right? Means the signature scents of Thanksgiving and fall blend in seamlessly.
What Doesn’t Work Well
Before we discuss what scents work best, let’s look at scents you have to avoid this Thanksgiving. Of course, no rule is rigid and strict but this will make your holiday more memorable. You might want to avoid heavy floral scents, these will never be the best perfume to wear to your Thanksgiving celebration. Something with a strong floral aroma could actually make you enjoy your favorite Thanksgiving flavors less and it won’t complement your meal. The reason behind this is that it will clash with fall scents surrounding you, the earthy scent of the fall air and sweet spices in Thanksgiving food.
Anything that’s not overpowering and too strong should not be your go-to Thanksgiving perfume. Whatever scent you choose should be one you know you will love. The biggest thing you don’t want on the holiday is regretting the fragrance you choose!
What Scents Work Well for Thanksgiving?
The goal is to find the ideal scent that’ll complement the fall scents surrounding you. There are plenty of good smelling perfumes so definitely in the fall season go for sweet, spicy perfumes with notes like nutmeg and cardamom. They’ll complement the pumpkin pies and the other sweet treats you’ll have surrounding you. Something with hints of vanilla is great because it has a subtly balanced aroma and will go with everything. This scent will also blend beautifully with the baked turkey aroma at Thanksgiving dinner and the earthy aromas. The versatility of vanilla will keep you smelling great by nicely blended into the background.
If you want to play off the flavors of the meal itself, spicy aromas are the ideal choice for this fall season. This will nicely co-mingle with the scents already present and also give you just enough smell of the food around you.
If you’re worried about the heaviness of your Thanksgiving feast, citrusy scents can also be fall scents! The clean and fresh scent of orange will nicely complement with fall aromas that you already have on the table.
