Finding the Right Perfume and the Right Partner Is Essentially the Same Thing
Cosmopolitan India
|November - December 2025
Say buh-bye to bare minimum, 'cause we're done settling, in perfumes and in relationships.
I think we can all agree the process of finding the right perfume is unnecessarily long—but gosh, is it rewarding.
I guess good things really do take time.
Perfume. It's the quintessential accessory to complete any look and seal it with confidence. A couple of sprays to the wrist and the neck, and you're ready to turn heads; that's the power of a good perfume. There are times when you get a quick whiff of a fragrance and you're transported back to high school, smelling that minty fresh smell on your boyfriend as you sneak a kiss in between classes. It’s not just the aroma that stops you, but the actual emotions behind it.
I never compromise on perfume. If I'm wearing it every day—the final thing I put on before stepping out—it needs to make an impression. Rush it, and you'll end up with a bottle collecting dust at the back of your vanity.
Dating is pretty much the same. If your crush doesn’t spark something in you (read: Set your soul on fire), settling can only lead to disappointment. Until you find the right one(s), why not play the field? You might be pleasantly surprised. And, if it feels a little daunting, start simple: Know what you want, write it down, and manifest it.
