8 Scents That Are Like Confidence in a Bottle — and Might Just Get You Hired

"I read once that you shouldn't wear perfume to a job interview in case the person who is interviewing you finds it offensive, but I'm a big believer in standing out, and nothing leaves a lasting impression (literally) like a good scent. I do try to avoid the heavy florals or powdery scents when attending an important meeting, and instead opt for fragrances that are popular and universally loved. My go-tos have been Glossier You or Byredo Gypsy Water ($65). They're familiar enough that the interviewer won't find it repelling, but unique enough in that they smell different on every person.

In terms of application — keep it light. Just a touch on your wrists and behind your ear. The last thing you want to do is dose your best interview outfit in Eau de Toilette." — Amanda Murray, senior native style editor
