Each Waft perfume is uniquely tailored to the individual for which it is commissioned. Throughthe digital platform, the consumer will answer a series of questions pertaining to their scent preferences, desires, and expectations. Additionally, for perfume connoisseurs already loyal to
various branded fragrances, Waft offers the ability to build a signature fragrance that captures
the core essences of their favorite scents. The individual will even have the opportunity to
name the fragrance and design its label. Once all information is submitted, Waft will deliver the
personalized perfume to the individual with the addition of two accessory scents for layering.
What a novel idea, right? I was intrigued from the get-go! Waft allows for a customizable experience simply by asking you a series of questions about your preferences. Some of the questions include:
Do you prefer a more masculine, a more feminine fragrance or a unisex scent?
- Day or Night?
- Preferred Mood: Fresh, Sexy, Elegant or Relaxed?
- Personal Style: Classic or Trendy?
- Potency: Subtle, Balanced or Daring?
You are also able to choose from a list of ingredients to identify those that are most appealing to your senses. Some of the choices include:
- Rose
- Musk
- Sandalwood
- Pear
- Caramel
among the more common. There were some interesting options like Milk, Powder and Black Pepper too!
Then, you can choose your favorite brand of perfume so they have a general idea of what you love.
Finally comes the fun part! You get to name your custom fragrance, complete with font choices. If it's a gift, you'll be able to include a short message right on the bottle (see mine for the mothership in the pic above).
Not only will you receive your custom fragrance but also two accessory or layering fragrances to complement your order!
So what's the verdict? I personally enjoyed the quick and easy process of commissioning our fragrance--it felt like my mother and I were creating something special together. And the entire process took just 5 minutes--short and sweet! As for the mothership, she LOVES her new perfume! It has many of the notes she loves and she was very happy with it! I barely managed to get pictures taken before she spirited her gifts away!
Her suggestions for improvement? She found the main fragrance didn't last as long as she would have liked and it left a little residue when applied directly on her clothing (probably a mistake in most scenarios--always apply to bare skin, people!). While she is still really enjoying her custom scent, she was bowled away by the accessory scents--her favorite is the one below, a predominantly Jasmine blend while the other was a predominantly Musk/Sandalwood scent (shown above).
So there you have it, my darlings! You can create your very own signature scent for yourself or as a gift on Waft's site HERE--they ship to many countries worldwide and are in the process of adding more destinations to their list!

ReplyDeleteAre you looking for a great fragrance that is affordable and has an interesting design? If yes, then this Christian Dior Sauvage Eau de Toilette spray for men is perfect for you.
ReplyDeleteThe fragrance of Christian Dior Sauvage Black Friday is based on a combination of citrus notes, freshness, and woody aromas. It has a sweet citrus aroma with a touch of bergamot. The scent lasts for more than a few hours and makes you feel refreshed.
The Clarins EAU Dynamisante Black Friday is a perfect example of how a brand can take a simple concept and make it into a multi-million dollar business. The idea behind the perfume was simple. It was based on the idea that women could be more beautiful by using their natural scent.
