I used to pick fragrance oils based only on how they smelled at first, but that didn’t always work out. Some felt great for a few minutes and then became too strong or disappeared quickly. Now I look for something balanced and comfortable enough for everyday use. I’ve also noticed that oils used in fragrance oils for soap and candles often have interesting scent profiles that can inspire daily fragrance choices. A smooth, versatile scent is usually the safest option.
