Arabic Perfume Label on Public Transport

Public transport is a shared space: crowded subways, cramped buses, windowless trams, and carriages where individuals with varying sensitivities to smells coexist. In these circumstances, choosing which perfume to wear, or whether to wear one at all, is a fundamental gesture of personal elegance, respect, and courtesy.

Although perfume is part of many people's identity, not all scents are appropriate for small, poorly ventilated spaces. This guide teaches you how to wear perfume effectively while traveling on public transport, which fragrances to choose and which to avoid, and why. We also offer six fragrances selected from our collection that have the ideal level of softness, freshness, and discretion for traveling in style... without bothering anyone.

I- Why does the perfume label matter on public transport?

Perfumes concentrate more intensely in enclosed spaces. A scent that seems subtle on the street can become suffocating in a crowded train car.

The purpose of labeling perfume correctly is:

• Do not fill the environment with very intense, sweet or strong aromas .
• Respect people who are sensitive , including those with allergies, migraines, or a sensitive sense of smell.
• Without seeking to attract attention, communicate cleanliness and freshness.
• Maintain a refined image, without unnecessary luxuries.

Discretion is key to good taste on public transport. It's not about giving up perfume, but about choosing the right one.

II- What type of aromas are appropriate?

For enclosed environments, the most suitable olfactory families are:

✔ Citrus fruits: mandarin, bergamot and lemon
✔ Aquatic and marine : clear, unobstructed chords
✔ White musks: a feeling of cleanliness in clothes
✔ Subtle florals: sheer jasmine, pale pink
✔ Soapy aromas: fresh and subtle tones

On the other hand, it is advisable to avoid:

✘ High-density wood
✘ Eastern forts
✘ Intense gourmand notes (praline, chocolate, caramel)
✘ Strong Oud
✘ Dark patchouli
✘ Perfumes with wide projection
