Breaking Down Perfume Myths

Yes, We’re Clearing the Air

Because fragrance deserves better than internet rumors.

Perfume has been around for centuries, yet somehow, myths about it refuse to retire. At Scentellow, we believe fragrance should feel personal, effortless, and honest — not confusing or intimidating.

So let’s gently (and playfully) break down some of the most common perfume myths still floating around.

Myth #1: Expensive Perfume = Better Perfume

Ah yes, the classic belief that a higher price tag automatically means higher quality.

Truth is, price often reflects branding, packaging, or marketing not always the actual scent experience. Some beautifully blended fragrances come from small, thoughtful creators who focus on balance and emotion rather than hype.

At Scentellow, we focus on how a scent makes you feel, not how loudly it announces itself.

Myth #2: Stronger Is Always Better

If people can smell you before they see you… maybe the perfume is doing a little too much.

A good fragrance doesn’t shout. It lingers. It blends into your presence. The goal isn’t to fill the room it’s to leave a soft memory behind.

Subtlety isn’t weakness. It’s confidence.

Myth #3: You Need a Different Perfume for Every Season

Yes, seasons influence scent preferences but rules? Not really.

If a warm, musky fragrance feels right in summer, wear it. If a fresh floral feels comforting in winter, go for it. Scent is emotional, not seasonal math.

Your perfume should follow your mood, not the calendar.

Myth #4: One Perfume Can’t Suit Everyone

This one is half-true skin chemistry does matter.

But that’s also the beauty of fragrance.

The same scent can feel soft on one person and deep on another. That’s not a flaw it’s personality. At Scentellow, we design scents meant to adapt, not dominate.

Myth #5: Perfume Is Just About Smelling Good

If that were true, we’d all stop at soap.

Fragrance is memory. Comfort. Confidence. A quiet form of self-expression you carry with you. It’s how you mark moments even the ordinary ones.

And that’s why we take it seriously (but not too seriously).

In the End…

Perfume isn’t about rules, trends, or impressing anyone.

It’s about how it makes you feel calm, confident, soft, powerful, or simply yourself.

At Scentellow, we create scents that settle into your day, not overpower it.

Because the best fragrance is the one that feels like you.

“A good scent doesn’t announce itself it stays with you.”
