A Wren Says

Charlotte Tilbury, the brand that I know best for its pillow talk line of lip products has entered the fragrance game. And it’s in an interesting way. Charlotte Tilbury released six fragrances with different emotional frequencies. They were formulated with mood boosting chemicals that should enhance the emotion in the fragrance name.

I decided to test out Love Frequency. It is definitely floral. I don’t know how I would describe how it smells to me. Maybe like a rose scented soap. It is soft and not aggressive and not at all like the “maneater” type fragrances you see creators describe.

I wore this over course of a few days. The first time was at work, then at a conference, traveling, and around family. All that to say, I was around a lot of people. No one made a comment, I barely noticed it myself, but it was there faintly on my skin then if I made intentional effort to smell for it. It stayed like that, very close to the body until the end of the day. I don’t know if it ever really had projection for me.

I have been casually wearing it, just to see what I thought about the scent. Honestly, I am skeptical about frequencies claim. However, the next morning after I wore it for the first time, I woke up and my first thought was, “I want to welcome more love into my life.” Now, I can’t say that it was the ingredients in the fragrance that led to that shift. But I also can’t say that they didn’t have anything to do with it.

If you are just interested in a light rose scent, you might want to give this a try. But probably this would be more interesting to you if you are curious about the idea of using fragrance to affect your mood. The whole line might be something you look more into. If you do try it, I want to hear about your experience.
