Most of us have a signature scent, or at the very least, an idea of the perfumes and colognes we love to wear. But talking about fragrance with other people is tricky, especially when you're trying to articulate exactly what it is you like and why. The vocabulary of perfume—sillage, accord, heady—can sometimes feel like a secret language spoken only by a handful of experts. But fragrance doesn’t have to be so complicated, especially once you learn how to talk about scents the way a Sommelier talks about wine. We reached out to Givaudan perfumer and expert Linda Song, via The Fragrance Foundation, to help us navigate the new world of fragrance.
