Do You Smell Like A Feminist? Here's How To Tell
The cultural shift toward feminism in recent decades has taken a toll on nearly all aspects of society: our career paths, our clothing styles, our family planning, and, yes, even our fragrance choices.
In the past few decades, mainstream perfumers have leaned on bold, musky notes for their women's fragrances, creating a more masculine aroma that reflects modern feminist girlboss culture. This may seem innocuous, but here’s the thing: A lot of information is conveyed through our sense of smell. Often subconsciously, one whiff of a personal fragrance can give us some major clues about the wearer – their personality, their lifestyle choices, and their ideals. Likewise, the fragrance you wear affects your own mood. So if you’re wearing a fragrance with traditionally masculine notes, you’re likely to feel less feminine.
