Which season and venue are you planning the wedding for?

Before you factor in anything else—including your personal preferences—it is essential to consider the venue you have chosen and the climate. A beachside sunset ceremony with sandy toes calls for light florals, while an autumn ballroom reception will require more statement-making notes in your choice of wedding perfume.

Do you prefer any specific fragrance families?

The next essential step in finding a perfume to wear on your wedding day is to make a closer inspection of your fragrance shelf. Which notes pop up often? Which fragrances do you reach for most frequently? Once you start noting down these names, you will find a common theme starting to emerge. Whether it is the zesty kick of citrus scents or the aromatic allure of woody notes, the fragrance family that you have the strongest allegiance to is the one that will guide your search for finding the best wedding perfume.

Do you have sentimental attachments to any scents?

Finding the best perfume for marriage ceremonies is a deeply intimate journey. And it would be remiss to overlook any personal connections that your heart may hold for certain scents. Perhaps it is the romantic kick of florals that reminds you of the roses he brought for your first date. Or maybe it was the first whiff of Chanel N°5 that had you captivated when you were rooting about your mother’s dressing table as a kid. There’s an inexplicable connection between how certain fragrances can transport us to a particular moment in time and it is worthwhile to factor in these associations when looking for a perfume for your wedding day.

Have you tried layering scents to create your own unique fragrance?

Not quite finding what you’d like while buying fragrances off the rack? Welcome to the world of layering—a land where anything you have ever dreamed of is possible. Ideal for capturing the essence of who you are as an individual, perfume layering is the art of mixing and matching several scents together to create a cohesive fragrance that feels true to you. Not quite sure where to start? When looking to buy perfumes online, you’ll want to guide your search by simple, uncomplicated base notes—such as vanilla or musk. Next, you can opt for your favourite single-note fragrance for the heart topped off with a fresh fragrance as the top base.

How long will it last through prolonged ceremonies?

Beyond personal preferences, there is one thing that all wedding perfumes for brides stand united on: delivering long-lasting sillage that can make it through prolonged ceremonies without necessitating touch-ups. Once you have put together your shortlist of your personal favourites, it helps to take each scent for a test drive on an ordinary day to discern how long it lasts for.

Would you want to wear this perfume again and again?

Every aspect of your wedding is designed to be remembered for posterity—and your wedding perfume is no different. The best wedding perfume is one that evokes fond memories whenever it is worn after the big day. The ultimate litmus test of whether your chosen fragrance is ‘the one’ is whether you can envision yourself reaching for it over and over in the years to come.

Not quite convinced whether you should make the commitment?

So, you have sniffed and smelled your way through every fragrance family but still haven’t found the one that stops you dead in your tracks? When all else fails, it helps to default to your favourite fragrance brand that has served you well in the past. Look for discovery or sample sets that will allow you to experience several women’s perfumes at a time until you find a winner. Citrusy scents will make for a good companion for bright haldi ceremonies, while deeper notes of oud will work well for the reception.  

Looking for a shortcut to the best wedding perfumes? Choose from our round-up of the most coveted perfumes, favoured by brides everywhere.
