Introduction

In the workplace, scent is your most silent yet potent business card. True professionalism does not stem from aggressive over-spraying; it comes from an aura of "Clarity, Rationality, and Composure."

💡 Curator's Note

When selecting a workplace fragrance, avoid overly sweet vanillas or excessive sensory interference. The core of professionalism is "White Space"—letting the scent be the background music to your thoughts, not a distraction from your expertise.
