What are skin scents? What you need to know about this fragrance trend

Add as a preferred source on Google

We all have our favorite fragrances, that match our style, make us feel more attractive, and compliment our appearance. But sometimes we are looking for something different; something just for us. That’s where skin scents come it.

What a skin scent is

Skin scents were made to be smelled by only yourself, or someone you let get very close to you. They are light, soft scents meant to slightly enhance your natural fragrance.

Recommended Videos

Skin scents are based in the Iso E Super molecule. It’s a synthetic molecule developed in the early 1970s by International Flavors & Fragrances, Inc. The molecule has a soft fragrance reminiscent of wood or musk. Through the years skin scent mixes have come to emanate the aromas of fresh laundry or linens, white floral, and the woods to create a light scent that is different on each individual.

Think of its purpose as helping you smell like you — only better.

How to find a skin scent

Do you walk into the fragrance section of your favorite department store and ask for skin scents? Sort of. Sometimes they will have “skin scent” in the name of the fragrance and sometimes they will say they are an Iso E Super fragrance. When you choose your white linen or white floral scented fragrance, you are essentially going for a skin scent fragrance.
