Our olfactory sensors are connected to our limbic system, which is the centre of emotion in our brains. So choosing the right fragrance is undeniably important if you want to create an amiable and everlasting impression.

Scents For Closing That Big Deal 

What's important on this occasion is a perfume that's light and refreshing so it doesn’t linger in the room. This scent should be used sparingly as the fragrance should make its way to others in very light bursts.
