Choosing the right perfume for work requires a different approach to evening or weekend fragrances. Office environments call for scents that are present but not overwhelming — fragrances with moderate sillage that won't overpower colleagues in shared spaces.
What Makes a Good Office Perfume?
The best work fragrances are typically: fresh rather than heavy, moderately projected (not excessive sillage), and appropriate across genders and ages. Avoid very heavy orientals, sweet gourmands, and very intense oud fragrances in office settings.

FAQ
What is the best perfume to wear to the office?
A clean, moderate-projection scent such as our No. 179 Bergamot & Pepper or No. 529 Sandalwood & Cardamom. Both read as polished and professional without overwhelming a shared workspace.
How strong should a work perfume be?
Aim for moderate sillage — noticeable within arm's reach but not across the room. One or two sprays of an Eau de Parfum on your pulse points is plenty, as it is long wearing on skin, and longer on clothes.
Which scents are safe for an open-plan office?
Fresh, woody and soft floral scents like No. 303 Lavender & Orange Blossom and No. 222 Grapefruit & Sea Notes stay close to the skin and suit shared spaces.
Are inspired perfumes legal in the UK?
Our fragrances are original compositions sold under our own Leclair & Moreau name, in our own bottles and packaging.
How much do Leclair & Moreau perfumes cost?
Every fragrance is £4.95 for a 5ml sample, £15.95 for 30ml and £26.95 for a full 100ml bottle.
