Two of the most sensual things about a woman is her lips and her aura. Combine a luscious lipstick with a fabulous fragrance and you'll have the seductive prowess that will leave men feeling weak at the knees. So if you're looking to leave a lasting impression, it's important to consider what lipstick goes with your perfume of choice. Learn about the art of selecting two products that will leave you looking and feeling sensational.
THE LIPS
We kiss with them, we sip with them, we angle them with finesse to create coy little smiles -- they're one of the sexiest parts of the body. In fact, when they are coated with lipstick, men are more likely to be drawn to them for longer. A study at Manchester University in the UK showed that men will look at a woman's lips for around seven seconds when she has applied a lip stain.
THE AROMA
Our sense of smell is the strongest of all the senses. A pleasant aroma can take us back to a moment in time where we can relive the joyful experience associated with the scent. There's no denying that fresh floral or fruity citrus fragrances can make you relive those long, free summer nights.
A woman who wears a fragrance well will attract attention because she will exude elegance and she may even look more attractive. Research conducted by the Monell Chemical Senses Center revealed that women's faces are rated more attractive in the presence of a pleasing smell. This means that wearing a niche perfume with the right lipstick will give you that irresistible edge.
A POWERFUL COMBINATION
Kate is a business woman who has it all: beauty, intelligence and an elegant lifestyle. She exuberates confidence and is very much in control of her life. Always taking pride in her appearance, she carefully outlines her full lips with liner before applying a hydrating lipstick to keep her lips smooth and noticeable for hours. Just before she leaves her house, she sprays herself with one of her niche perfumes to complete her style. Kate is now ready to be the powerful, captivating woman she is.
THE RIGHT MATCH
Consider the following tips when matching your lipstick and perfume:
New perfumes offer excitement and your best niche perfumes are your signature scents that add to your appeal. A fragrance that complements your choice of lip color will double the impact and the pleasure.

Every closet has at least one pair of jeans, but there are tons of options when selecting denim. From distressed to cleanly pressed and straight leg to bootcut, there's a jean out there for anyone. Relaxed fit jeans and jeggings even offer a more comfortable fit for those who don't enjoy the stiff feel of new denim. When pairing your clothes up with a perfume, it's important to consider overall style.
CLASSIC STYLE AND SCENT
Flower lovers can pair up a nice floral scent with the iconic look of a white t-shirt on top of classic Levi's. Tuck the shirt in and add a belt to dress this extremely casual style up a bit, or go for a more grungy and active look with an untucked shirt and casual kicks. Either way, the floral scents from your perfume will brighten up the look.
ACTIVE AND OUTDOORS
If you like the great outdoors and enjoy woody notes with some opopanax to cut through, distressed or well-worn denim is a must. Not only is it more comfortable, it goes well with a scent that brings the outdoors inside. When you pair up this type of denim with woody scents, you get a combo that lets you feel comfortable in virtually any setting.
FIT FOR FOODIES
If exotic and spicy describe you, a tight-fitting jean is a must to go with your oriental and food-based scents. For the foodies out there who enjoy trying new things and an international palate, this pairing is a great choice. Skinny jeans give you a lean silhouette to help balance the richness of the notes in an oriental perfume.
CLEAN AND CASUAL CHIC
Sunny citrus scents go great with high-fashion denim choices like low-rise or peek-a-boo jeans. Citrus is a clean and fresh smell that doesn't overpower, much the way a comfortable low-rise jean makes a quiet statement. Plus, peek-a-boo denim is a great choice for warmer weather when citrus smells really come into their own. An orangey or other citrus smell can't help but remind you of summer. Heavy layers just weigh down a light and glowing scent like citrus.
SCENT PAIRINGS FOR DENIM LOVERS
Your perfume or cologne is the last accessory you add to an outfit. It needs the same consideration that you'd give to any other piece. When you wear a smoky musk with a daytime casual look, it can be a bit confusing. For a complete look from head to toe, you want a perfume that enhances your style.
Lighter scents set off denim shorts, especially when combined with fragrances like vanilla. Rich woody scents go well with a thicker denim or double denim outfit designed for real work. Florals go great with classic styles, matching some of the great casual runway looks. Oriental and musky notes go well with lean silhouettes and dressy tops. Make sure you have a scent to go with every pair of jeans, the same way you stock shoes for any occasion.
