The best meeting perfume
How to make an impression without exaggerating
Choosing a perfume for work is no easy task, especially if you’re in a shared office space. At some workplaces they’ve even gone so far as banning perfumes completely. Then there are times where you might need to make an impression, yet still in a subtle way, like that very important business meeting you’ve got planned. What perfumes are preferable then?

At a business meeting you might not want to take the upper hand with a fragrance that takes up to much space, everyone doesn’t have the same taste after all. Although you still want to emit confidence and poise. Simply put; you want to make an impression but not in the wrong way by sticking out like a sore thumb. With other words, let the fragrance become an extension of your personality or at least the parts of your personality you need for this specific moment.
The solution often lay in fragrances that…
- Doesn’t provoke or is all too odd but still is interesting enough for others to remember you. If you want to experiment with animalistic oud scents and manure or tar and tobacco smoke, choose another occasion.
- Isn’t associated too much with an certain era (for example victorian or the 50’s, etc) Timeless is the way to go. Remember that you want to appeal to as many people as possible in a situation like this.
- Are classically manly. Based on wooden and refreshing notes that emits the exclusivity and elegance needed at a business meeting.
creed original vetiver EDP
A fragrance for whom might want to play it safe without being seen as boring. Creeds interpretation of the type of wood called vetiver (an ingredient where the essence is extracted from the root) is a fresh, green version that hardly can irritate anyone but still bestows the wearer with the classic aura that provides enough respect for this type of occasion. By adding citrus and vetiver oil from the the leafs of the plant as well they’ve created a fresh signature fragrance that runs no risk of overdosing. With this faithful old servant you can never go wrong.
floris santal edt
One of the more modern fragrances in the english perfume house’s classic collection. With their Nr 89 and Nr 127 Special you may run the risk of being perceived as an old man as opposed to this, much more timeless fragrance. It works exceptionally well despite age and is neutral enough to be liked by most. The sweetness in the sandalwood and the heavier, darker, masculine notes of ambergris in the base is balanced by citrus, cardamom and black pepper in the topp notes which makes the end result both soft and approachable. With Floris Santal you have a sure seat at the meeting table.
roja elysium pour homme cologne
Now we’re talking elegance! Roja Parfums is one of the world's most exclusive perfume houses and is the way to go if you want appreciative comments and compliments yet a cologne that doesn’t recklessly run over your colleagues like a bulldozer. Because here the subject matter is subtle, well balanced notes where masculine notes of ambergris and leather is mixed with fresh citrus, pink pepper, floral nuances and fruit.
Complex on paper yet soft, classically manly and business friendly in reality, in a way that says “I’ve got this” and emits confidence. The small print here says; freshness and luxury.
roja vetiver pour homme edp
It’s often said that wearing a perfume from Roja Dove is like putting on a Rolex and it can hardly get more apparent than with his classic and manly version of vetiver, which is much more dry than Creeds version. Even though many of the fragrances from Roja Dove's collection are subtle and treacherously simple, you can seldom lecture them on the feeling of exclusivity. Careful elegance instead of muscle is what often makes them such great business perfumes.
Roja’s vetiver is probably one of the absolute best on the market when it comes to what a traditional vetiver should be like; somewhat smokey, wooden and spicy, without renouncing the light freshness. If a confidence booster could be bottled this would be the prototype.
