Margot Robbie Convinced Me to Try This "Polarizing" Denim Trend—and Its Fragrance Equivalent

Wearing a fragrance that “matches” your outfit isn’t a new concept. I mean, how many of us are guilty of wearing a scent laden with floral notes just because we’re wearing something completely bedecked in—you guessed it—florals? Or reaching for that beachy, solar perfume after a long winter because the weather has finally cracked 60ºF and we're preemptively wearing our best maxi dress to Central Park?

No, strategically matching our fragrances to our outfits is nothing revolutionary, but it is when the objective is not to pair physical markers and *vibes* but the fabrics themselves. You reach for your favorite pair of jeans probably every other day, but have you ever considered bringing the richness of your go-to denim to life on a sensorial level? I certainly hadn’t given it any thought until I caught a glance of this denim-on-denim moment that Margot Robbie recently stepped out in—an oversize, light-wash button-down and a pair of matching baggy jeans—making my denim-loving heart skip a beat and my beauty brain kick into high gear.

While Robbie is somewhat of a denim denizen (we’ll never forget this matching indigo moment from last summer or her polarizing travel outfit, complete with a pair of ultra-stiff jeans), she’s hardly the only celebrity to lean on the Canadian tuxedo for an effortlessly chic look—take Rihanna and Bella Hadid, for example. But the one thing I’ll bet they didn’t finish off the look with was a spritz of a fragrance that enhances the very fabric they’re wearing—and before you ask, yes, you can and should enhance your denim pieces with an equally chic fragrance.
