Perfumes for the school year and first school day

By Monika BogdanovaGuides editor, Verona Cosmetics

In Bulgaria the school year traditionally starts around 15 September - first school day, new notebooks, and often a first autumn outfit. A scent for the classroom, campus, or office should stay fresh and restrained: close to you, without dominating a closed room. Here is a practical guide from Verona Cosmetics.

  1. Choose a light to medium daytime scent

    EDT or a fresh EDP beats a heavy Elixir for school and lectures. Aim for cleanliness and confidence, not evening presence. Citrus, light woods, or a soft floral work best.

  2. Spray less in closed rooms

    One spray on the neck or wrists in the morning is enough. Avoid a cloud in the corridor - in class and public transport a strong trail annoys.

  3. For the first school day - fresh and memorable, not heavy

    15 September is often still warm. Save dense autumn scents for the evening after the ceremony. By day pick a fresh authentic perfume that sits well with photos and hugs.

  4. A gift for a teacher

    Universal, not-too-sweet scents in 50–100 ml are a safe bet. If you do not know their taste - a fresh men’s/unisex or soft women’s EDT. Buy only from an authorized shop.

  5. Students and work after classes

    If you have a meeting or a job after class, keep a second, denser option in your bag. Morning - restrained EDT; evening - autumn EDP. See also our autumn perfume guide.
