You smell citrus and sandalwood.
You wonder, how has their perfume lasted?
How does it linger this way?
There is a word for this phenomenon: “sillage,” pronounced “see-Yahj.”
You wonder next, how can I get my perfume to do that, too?
How can I become the person whose scent turns heads on the street?
Finding theright signature scent for youentails many factors, including its sillage.
Your sillage can leave an intriguing impression on those around you, if it’s done right.
The natural diffusive properties of the fragrances themselves influence a perfume’s diffusion.
Rather, sillage is about the experience of a scent over distance and time.
A wearer who loves a long sillage then might be perceived as more outgoing and bold.
Or, perhaps, they have simply put on too much perfume.
