Happy New Year! 2017 is over and we’re now well on our way in 2018. Last year was a really exciting perfume-wise and here at Escentual, we brought you lots of fragrant content throughout the year. 2018 will be no different, I’m sure, and we have lots of exciting things planned. But first, before we get into the upcoming launches of the year, let’s talk about new year resolutions because I’m sure that if you’re reading this, you made at least one vow to achieve something this year. It’s not about changing yourself entirely (you’re lovely the way you are, after all) but instead, it’s just about setting some positive goals for the year and there’s nothing wrong with a solid set of objectives, that’s for sure!
In this post, I’ll be bringing you a selection of fragrances to support any new year resolutions you may have made, whether you are committing to fitness in 2018 or you’re looking to find romance – either way I have you covered. Each selection is completely unisex so no matter who you are, you will be able to kick your 2018 off with a brand new fragrance to help you achieve that one important goal, whether that be mindfulness, creativity, fitness, positivity, romance, or all of those combined.
If your resolution is to unleash your creativity…
If your resolution is to maintain positivity …
There’s a lot going on in life, what with work, family and societal pressures and all. Sometimes it can be difficult to maintain a positive outlook, but approaching things with a chipper ‘can do’ attitude often makes a big difference to how one feels about things, and ultimately helps with success. So this year you may be pledging positivity in your life, whether that be to do away with or move away from that which is negative or simply approach each situation with alacrity. To compliment your new found positivity I’ve picked out a perfectly positive ‘pamplemousse’ fragrance: the zingy Pamplelune by GUERLAIN. Pamplelune is just the thing to perk up your 2018, with a wonderful acerbic and fizzy grapefruit note (with sourness, bitterness, juiciness and acidity aplenty) accompanied by white flowers and patchouli. If it doesn’t make you lift your head up and smile, I don’t know what will!
If your resolution is to find romance…
If your resolution is to build muscles…
We’ve all been there, it’s 23:59 on New Year’s Eve and you’re browsing the internet to find a good deal on a gym membership. This will be the year, we tell ourselves, that we will finally get off the sofa and become hench. But if like me, you are habitually lazy and fitness is a new years resolution destined to be broken, you mustn’t forget that you can use perfume to build some rather impressive metaphorical muscles. Take Tom of Finland by Etat Libre d’Orange, for example. With its sparkling notes of aldehydes, lemon and saffron, Tom of Finland creates a fragrant impression of buff, shower-fresh bodies, with notes of suede, musk and vanilla in the base. It’s the scent of clean skin cast from the mind of an artist who knew everything there was to know about buff bodies. Wear it to the gym, or you know, on the sofa with a tub of ice cream. The choice is yours.
If your resolution is to achieve mindfulness…
