Vera Wang reveals why wedding scene is just as significant as the perfect dress
Vera Wang thinks a wedding scent is "such an important part" of anyone's big day.
Vera Wang thinks a wedding scent is "such an important part" of anyone's big day.
The 76-year-old fashion icon has explained why the wedding dress isn't the only significant choice people make when it comes to their style and beauty for their nuptials.
She told PEOPLE magazine: "I think anything that is really personal, by that I mean maybe it's a scent you've always worn, maybe it's a scent you only chose for your wedding, but it's so memorable that day.
"And scent is about memory. It's such an important part, the wedding scent. It really is. And it is a remembrance forever."
Wang's own brand has a range of distinct colognes and perfumes, but the LOVE eau de parfum - which comes in a diamond engagement ring shaped bottle - is her favourite.
She explained: "It's my most relevant, I think my latest.
"I worked six years on the project with Coty, and I think there's a certain universality about the ring and the packaging and the concept of romance and the concept of happiness and the concept of sex.
"I mean, it's just, it's love in all its forms."
Meanwhile, Vera previously opened up on the secret to her youthful looks, and insisted she doesn't deny herself fast food or a cocktail.
Back in 2023, she told Page Six Style: "I do eat McDonald’s, absolutely. I order it every day, like two weeks on it, and then I’ll change.”
She also enjoys Dunkin' Donuts - especially the "cream-filled, sugar-coated" one, which she described as "a jelly donut, but it's cream inside, vanilla cream".
However, she also said: "Basically, I’ve worked my whole life, so it’s really been about work. I think work keeps you young and stimulated.
“I work very long hours, I’ve raised two daughters. I think keeping busy is the best antidote [for] good health.”
Back in 2020, Vera was "totally shocked" by the online reaction to photos of the then-70-year-old star in a sports bra and denim shorts, with fans saying she "unsubscribed from aging".
The fashion icon was asked for her routine at the time, and said: "Work, sleep, a vodka cocktail, not much sun.”
