Experimental thought...Choose cologne based off of shirt color?

Hello.  I understand the art of choosing the right scent at the right time. For instance, choosing a scent that performs well based off of the right season and/or time of day.  Now, the new thought I had is that I noticed I am picking scents from my collection based off of the color shirt I wear...

 

Example:

 

I complement a bright colored shirt with a citrus type of fragrance, but I don't match the fruit note with shirt color. (No yellow, while wearing edition blanche(lemon note)).

 

Darker colors get more of my heavier scents.  

 

White colors get more of a clean fresh scent.  

 

Anyone else find themselves doing this or experiment with this?

I have never chosen a SOTD based on the colour of my shirt.

I have never chosen a SOTD based on the colour of my shirt.

Sometimes a blue shirt will put me in a nautical mindset, for which I lean towards a nice marine scent.  I've also put on a green shirt and had the compulsion to go with a grassy/vetiver scent.  It doesn't dominate my choices, but sometimes it can impact my mood and therefore influence my choice.  There are other factors as well, but in the end, I usually end up choosing the scent that just "feels right" each morning.

Whatever floats your boat.
But I don't do it myself.

I have chosen my SOTD based on shirt color before. I usually do this when I wear green clothing, to which I would wear a mint based fragrance. I did that today, ended up wearing Menthe Fraiche. Other times I wear green, I'd wear Selection Verte.

I feel that some of my fragrances are so formal, that I must wear a white iron shirt and maby a tie. Amouage Gold, Clive Christian X and Creed Bois du Portugal are such fragrances. On the other hand, all my shirts are white or light blue so its not a big problem! ;-)

I usually pick the scent I want to wear, and match the shirt color to the scent (rather than the other way around). 

For instance, today, my undershirt (under a blue button up work shirt) is orange, because I'm wearing Loewe 7 natural (strong bitter orange and grapefruit notes, over a kind of golden orange incense/cedar/vetiver combo). 

i wear mostly black clothes, yes im so emo my lawn cuts itself

 

so it wouldn't be very exciting.

This only applies to one of my fragrances; Jubilation XXV with my gold suit and deep red shirt and tie (usually around Christmas)

Never did this so far. But I might, even unconsciously/involuntarily, wear the more classic, formal fragrances in my collection obviously with a white, long-sleeved dress shirt. But other than that, I never color coded/color matched between fragrances and shirts so far.  

I do this quite often... not every time but it's not unusual for me to pick out a fragrance based on what I'm wearing.

I kind of do something similar. In my case, I chose a watch to fit my scent of the day.

M.T.

What you do is a great idea and recent scientific studies agree. A small percentage of people have what is known as "synesthesia." This is a neurological happening which connects humans five senses. Synesthetes perceive differently than others. One may smell a rose and see the color red or feel a tingling in their arm, Smell the ocean and hear a musical pattern. The examples are many. Further study has found that many of us occasionally have some sort of experience, but it may be so minute we fail to recognize or our busy days don't allow for us to pander whether we just "heard a bird chirp and thought of the color orange."

Before I turned to "niche" fragrances, I owned many of the "standards." Parallel to what you do, I used to wear "Angel" with a blue velour jacket, I owned. (Over 15 years ago.) :-) "Aqua D' Gio with bright colors and more.


Everyone,
I am new here. The family and I visited the beach last weekend and I noticed my frags to smell differently and last longer. I assumed scent to leave quickly because I was sweating, but it was quite the opposite. I understand body chemistry to interact with fragrance, but would enjoy learning more, especially from some of this forum's experienced members.

Ciao Ciao
