(body odor – scent – fragrance etiquette – scent rules – common space – deodorant)
Scent is a silent language of communication
In shared spaces such as offices, elevators, classrooms or public places, body odor and fragrance are not just a matter of hygiene. They are part of communication – a non-verbal language. Even a light scent can create a good impression, bringing a sense of cleanliness and sophistication. On the contrary, a strong or overpowering scent can easily cause discomfort, even if the user does not intend it. That is why “fragrance etiquette” – the art of behaving with scent – becomes important.
Common spaces need a "softer" scent than private spaces.

A personal scent always travels further than we think. In enclosed spaces like elevators or conference rooms, scents are more diffused, so strong or sweet notes can be overwhelming to those around you. Light, clean, natural scents are always more suitable because they bring a fresh feeling without being overwhelming. Sometimes, “less” is much more subtle.
Body odor should be controlled before using perfume.

A basic but little-known rule: strong body odor will completely change the way perfume smells. When the body is not clean, the smell of sweat and perfume mix together to create a strange, unpleasant and sometimes even stronger smell. Keeping your body clean before using perfume is a way to respect yourself and those around you. A light layer of clean scent helps to neutralize the skin, making the scent more delicate and balanced.
You should prioritize light, fresh, and clean scents when around other people.

In a public space, cool, gentle, and clear scents are always appreciated because they are just enough to create a pleasant feeling but do not "rush" on the person opposite. The clear Mediterranean-style notes, with the gentle breath of Breeze Squeeze Blue, are often considered ideal: no spotlight, no pressure, just delicate and airy - true to European scent etiquette.
Fragrance diffusion is also a courtesy
An important part of fragrance etiquette is knowing how to limit the scent. Don’t spray too much – just one or two light sprays are enough to keep your body smelling fresh for hours in a cool environment. The scent should stay within your “private circle”, not spread out to the wider “social circle”, unless at an event or environment that requires a strong scent. The sophistication lies in controlling the spread, not the intensity.
Respect other people's scents
Everyone has their own scent, their own preferences, and their own sensitivity to scent. Some people are so sensitive that even a strong scent can make them uncomfortable. Others are prone to allergies or headaches when exposed to strong scents. Fragrance etiquette is therefore also about being sensitive to the reactions of those around you, choosing a lighter scent if you are in a closed or crowded place, and being aware that the scent is not only for you but also affects others.
Conclude
“Fragrance etiquette” is not a hard rule, but an art of living elegantly. When your body is clean, you choose the right light scent and use it in the right situation, you will leave an elegant, natural and pleasant impression in any common space. A delicate scent is always the most beautiful way to communicate – gentle, luxurious and emotional.
