As a healthcare professional (doctor, nurse) it can be tricky to find a fragrance that you can wear to your workplace.
I mean, certain fragrances are really strong and can cause nausea and sickness to your patients.
To end all your confusions, I researched and interviewed some healthcare professionals to make the ultimate shortlist of fragrances.
Whatever cologne you pick from this list, you can wear to your workplace with confidence!
What are the Best Smelling Scents for Doctors, Nurses and Healthcare Professionals?
Healthcare Professionals, doctors and nurses should always wear light and fresh scents as they are around patients almost all the time who are not feeling alright in one way or the other.
So the fragrance that they’re wearing should not disturb the patients at all. That’s why I have picked some of the best options for all the Healthcare Professionals that are inoffensive and crowd pleasing.
But if you’re opting for a fragrance that’s not listed here, please remember to choose a scent that’s light and airy, test it out for a while and see if it changes direction or gets stronger in the dry down.
Look, if it projects heavily and people can smell it from a mile off, you’d better avoid wearing that scent before going to the hospital.
Also, I’d suggest avoiding fragrances with heavy main notes like oud, vanilla, amber and other orient spicy scents.
