Fragrance Wardrobe: Jessica Wang on the Perfume She Wears When She Wants to Get Noticed

No one is traveling much these days, but a quick scroll through Jessica Wang’s Instagram might be the next best thing. Pre-COVID, the NYC-bred, China-born fashion blogger’s feed featured a vibrant array of style inspiration from her travels around the world, with plenty of designer bags and well-tailored suits to fit every mood. During the pandemic? Well, unlike the most of us, not much as changed for her on the style front—you might not have changed out of the same tie-dye sweatsuit in five days, but Jessica Wang hasn’t let quarantine stop her from dressing fabulously, from five-inch Alexandre Vauthier heels to white silk suits. Her Instagram can only be described as a stylish escape—she’s prone to posting everything from her at-home facials to baking tutorials, all while clad in Tom Ford, Bulgari, and more. When it comes to fragrance, Wang’s taste is just as impeccable—as a self-professed perfume collector, her Fragrance Wardrobe consists of, yes, Tom Ford, but also more subtle scents like Margiela and Jo Malone. “I love a broad range of fragrances, each for different moments,” she explains. Ahead, find out the scents in her Fragrance Wardrobe, and the one scent she spritzes whenever she wants to get noticed.

The candle you’re currently burning right now:

Polyamberous by Boy Smells. The gold votive is not only a great decorative piece but the smoky-floral scent is just perfect for the cooler months when you’re spending most time inside.

What you smell when you want to unwind/destress:

Jo Malone Lavender & Coriander. I love that the scent is gender neutral and strikes the best mix of floral, fresh, and fruity notes, while the lavender helps to make me feel more calm and less stressed.

The scent you’ll associate with this time:

Gucci Bloom because it’s the one I’ve worn most during this time, and will become nostalgic for this period in time for me.
