If you're planning a spring or summer wedding, there are many things you need to think about, from the venue to the dress and floral centrepieces.
It's also important to consider the smaller things, like the fragrance you will wear on the big day.
Some people choose to wear their signature or day-to-day scent. However, many opt to wear a brand-new fragrance.
Fragrance, emotion, and memory are heavily intertwined. The brain's thalamus transmits information about the scents we smell to the hippocampus and amygdala, regions of the brain involved in learning and memory.
As a result, spraying your chosen wedding scent on your anniversary or a special occasion can transport you back to that magnificent summer's day when you pledged your love and commitment to one another in front of your nearest and dearest.

A captivating fragrance inspired by one of England's greatest love stories, Bouquet de La Reine was created by Juan Famenias Floris as a wedding gift for Queen Victoria upon her marriage to Prince Albert.

Fresh zesty top notes of bergamot and orange blossom yield to voluptuous heart notes of tuberose, with a warm and powdery amber dry down.

Our Expert Tips for Selecting the Perfect Wedding Fragrance
Every couple deserves a seamless wedding day. Here's how to make sure your chosen scent stays with you all the way through your big day, from first kiss to final dance:
- Wear your fragrance beforehand. Fragrances can smell slightly different on each person's skin, so this allows you to see if a scent is right for you. This also lets you see how the top notes, heart notes, and base notes change through the day
- Consider the other scents you'll be wearing. Fragranced shower gels, shampoos, and shaving foams can all affect your fragrance. A great alternative is to use bath and body products with the same scent as your chosen fragrance – this makes your fragrance last longer too
- Carry a small bottle of your fragrance. If you want to travel light on your wedding day, many of our fragrances come in 10ml and 2ml bottles, ideal for slipping into a clutch bag or pocket. Alternatively, most venues will be happy to look after your bottle of fragrance for you
Which fragrances are best for spring and summer weddings?
Light, fresh, uplifting scents are a superb choice for spring and summer weddings – perfect for warmer days.
Remember that you should choose a perfume that you like and that suits your personal style. If you want to wear a deeper, richer fragrance for your nuptials, go right ahead.
I want my partner to wear a complementary fragrance to me on our wedding day. How do I go about this?
A good starting point is to choose two fragrances from the same fragrance family, whether that's a citrus, floral, or woody scent.
Also look at fragrances that share the same or similar base notes. For example, A Rose For and 71/72 both contain velvety sandalwood base notes.
Can I invite additional people to our Together Fragrance Customisation package?
Yes – you can invite an additional two guests on the day, whether that's your Maid of Honour, Best Man, or a parent.
