Projection and Sillage — What’s the Real Difference?

✨ Why This Matters
Every brand says:
“Strong projection! Crazy sillage! Beast mode!”
But hardly anyone explains what these words actually mean.
Bold Rose = clarity-driven brand → so let’s break it down cleanly.
🔊 1) What Is Projection?
Projection = the horizontal distance your scent travels from your body.
Simple example:
If someone can smell your perfume from 2–3 feet away → that’s projection.
Projection depends on:
- Heat (warm skin = more projection)
- Top notes (fruity, citrus open strongly)
- Airflow
- Spray placement
- Perfume concentration
The bold rose perfume’s real projection numbers:
(From lab testing)
Vibe: 480cm → 230cm → 80cm
Slay: 130cm → 110cm → 80cm
Flex: 385cm → 158cm → 120cm
Projection = how far your scent reaches in the first 1–2 hours.
🌫️ 2) What Is Sillage?
Sillage = the scent trail you leave when you walk.
Imagine someone smells your perfume even after you’ve passed them —
THAT is sillage.
Sillage depends on:
- Movement
- Hair + clothes
- Air circulation
- Mid/base notes
- Fabrics
- Ambient temperature
The bold rose actual sillage scores:
- Vibe → 4/5 (strong trail)
- Slay → 3/5 (moderate)
- Flex → 3/5 (moderate)
Sillage = long-term vibe.
Projection = immediate impact.
🔍 Difference in One Line:
Projection = “How far?”
Sillage = “For how long (and what trail)?”
🧪 3) Why Projection ≠ Sillage
A perfume can have:
✔ Strong projection but soft sillage
✔ Soft projection but long trail
✔ Moderate projection but long-lasting fabric presence
Example:
- Fresh perfumes → huge projection but short sillage
- Woody/amber perfumes → low projection but heavy sillage
✔ 4) How to Increase Projection
- Spray on warm points
- Spray on front of neck
- Use 2–3 sprays (don’t overspray)
- Avoid sweating (kills projection fast)
✔ 5) How to Increase Sillage
- Spray on clothes (cloth holds scent longer)
- Spray behind knees
- Spray lower back
- Spray ends of hair (with a brush)
Movement = trail.
💛 Why We Show Real Numbers
Most brands never reveal these metrics because they’re impossible to fake.
Bold Rose shows:
✔ Projection distance in cm
✔ Sillage rating
✔ Molecule survival (VOC)
✔ Fabric longevity
Because we believe in real performance, not hype.
⭐ FINAL TAKEAWAY
Projection is how far your perfume can be smelled.
Sillage is the trail you leave behind.
Both matter — but they’re different.
