Wear, describe, observe

Application, impression and observation

A clothed adult in profile gently brings a small anonymous fragrance applicator to the wrist.
  • Application

    The application format describes how you bring the perfume to the wearing moment.

  • Described impression

    A described scent impression is vocabulary, not a literal ingredient list.

  • Your wearing observation

    Your wearing observation belongs to a person, time and setting.

A wearing gesture, a described impression and your observation each add different information. Open full illustration

Touch, roller and spray

A fingertip reaches a tiny Freya balm tin beside separate roller and spray gestures.
  • Solid touch

    A solid uses a touch or swipe according to its directions.

  • Roller gesture

    A roller changes the application gesture; it does not establish a universal wearing result.

  • Spray gesture

    A spray disperses differently, while the named formula and your setting still matter.

Touch, roll and spray describe application, rather than a universal wearing result. Open full illustration
