I love everything personalized. I think it gives character and individuality to a normal, everyday product. If you have the same view for personalized products, you will love what I have found recently. As the holidays are around the corner, I thought why not share WAFT Personalized perfume as a holiday gift idea!

MY EXPERIENCE:

The whole process is extremely easy to follow. For the name, I chose “Exixtence” (not Existence). I wanted my perfume to create an aroma of confidence and make me feel powerful and approachable at the same time. For the tagline, I used “You can do it!”. This is something I remind myself every day. As I have chronic pain in my shoulder and back, my body gives up very easily. (More on that here). So I have to use positive thoughts and mental stimulation (along with lots of caffeine) to go on with my day.
For the smell, the main perfume smells good. But I would have preferred a slightly toned down version. The perfume is intended for night time, but I use it sparingly at daytime too.
As for the layering scent, these 2 are intense and have a similar “flavor” but somehow different.

PROS:

You will get a perfume that fits your personality and style.
You can return the perfume if you do not like it. They will even pay for the return shipping.

CONS:

Though you are doing the whole process of choosing and customizing the perfume, you will actually have no idea how the scent will turn out. As there is no way to know this before placing the order, you have to take a leap of faith.
