Our unique odor is connected to an intricate combination of molecules that accumulate on our skin and form secretions from the apocrine glands. These are specific sweat glands concatenated to hair follicles and located in regions of our body, such as our armpits. They originate in the womb but mature during puberty and can be activated by our emotional reactions. The molecules perspired by these glands meld with our skin’s microbiome and oils to form a distinctive smell.
Fragrance mixed with our natural scent and daily activities means no one can smell like another. This is why smell is unique, and we love making fragrances at Perfume Playground. Imagine creating a fragrance that captures your loved one’s essence; the possibilities are endless. For instance, say you want to capture the spirit of your father’s morning surf: you could create a fragrance using cedarwood, sage, neroli, coconut, pineapple, and tonka. Or you may want to encapsulate your best friend’s whole personality; you could choose a sexy cherry to show her fun side and mix it with jasmine, rose, and magnolia (her love of flowers) and add hints of musk and oak moss as an ode to her groundedness.
