Isn’t it time to choose a defining scent (or two)?
Bestie, I don’t know how to tell you this, but your scent profile is all over the place. Don’t get me wrong, you always smell Ah.May.Zing. But I’m never quite sure what exactly your signature scent is (I’m half convinced it’s toothpaste). But don’t panic. As an expert on all things Not Your Mother’s I’m here to help you choose your next big fragrance.

Choose based on what you need or how you want your hair to smell
The goal here isn’t to make you panic that you need to use all the perfumes all the time. Instead, the idea is to give you more options. I’d go so far as to say this is your healthy hair era (friendship bracelets optional).
So how can you choose a signature fragrance for your hair?
Let’s say that florals are your forever favorite. Maybe it’s time to mix things up a wee bit by adding some citrus to the mix. Love everything vanilla? Of course, you do. But the subtle scent of floral ambery might add a bit of a sweet edge to your scentsational self. And as much as your hair type determines the type of products you use, so does your mood. There will be times you want to let your cute curls take over your style and other times you want your hair sleek and smooth. Scent choices are pretty much the same thing and often depend on your mood.
Citrus Floral
First off, yes. That’s a thing. Not Your Mother’s entire Plump for Joy collection has a distinctive orange mango scent with a subtle floral undertones. So you can add body to your fine or flat hair while also adding a distinctive scent at the same time. Whether you’re using Plump for Joy Thickening Hair Lifter or Volumizing Mousse, you’re also adding a sparkling bright citrus scent.
Pro tip: Love the smell of Not Your Mother’s Plump for Joy line, but aren’t in the mood of using lots of product? Try spraying your hairbrush with NYM Plump for Joy Hairspray and then gently brushing through your freshly styled hair. Your hairstyle will hold its shape, and your hair will have the most subtle hint of a citrus fragrance.
Floral Ambery
Love your florals with a bit of depth? You really need to get a whiff of Not Your Mother’s Smooth Moves collection which has a soft floral top note mixed with the warmth of amber with just a tiny hint of spice. As if that wasn’t delightful enough, there’s also a berry vanilla layer which makes for the slightest fruity undertones.

Subtle or layered
There are times when you don’t want your hair to smell overpowering. Or maybe you love the way your shower gel smells or like the idea of going without scent every now and again. Not Your Mother’s Curl Talk Fragrance & Protein Free Sculpting Gel helps define your curls while allowing you to choose when you want an extra bit of scent.
