How to know if a fragrance suits you
Choosing a fragrance that feels right can be tricky – how do you know when you've found "the one"? Here are our top tips to help you select a scent that truly suits you and enhances your unique style.
Consider These Factors:
- Personality
- Style
- Age
- Mood
- Occasion
Who Are You?
A fragrance should capture your personality, style, and individuality, giving you that extra boost of confidence. Here’s how to choose a scent that mirrors who you are:
Cheerful and affectionate? Floral fragrances are a great fit.
Authentic and bold? Try a scent with a citrusy top note for a fresh edge.
Mysterious and sensual? Vanilla, spice, and musk-based scents can be a wonderful match.
Energetic and outgoing? Look to aromatic notes like lavender or rosemary.
Adventurous with a daring spirit? Woody notes, like sandalwood or cedar, will complement you beautifully.
Does Age Matter?
In short, not at all. Fragrance is highly personal, and there are no rules here. The best approach is to follow your confidence. Your fragrance preferences may naturally evolve with age, but ultimately, if it makes you feel amazing, go for it!
How Do I Feel and Where Am I Going?
Your mood, outfit, and plans for the day can influence your fragrance choice. Match your scent to the occasion and to what you’re wearing. For example:
Light and summery attire calls for an equally light fragrance, perhaps with floral or citrus notes.
Bundled up in winter layers? Opt for something warmer and richer, with hints of spice or musk.
It Smells Great on Someone Else – But Not on Me
Fragrances react differently with each person’s skin. If you love someone’s scent, compliment them! Sharing kindness is always a good idea. But keep in mind that what smells incredible on them may not develop the same way on you.
To see if it suits you, spray a small amount on your wrist (without rubbing it, as this can distort the fragrance), and let it settle for a few hours. If you still love it, it might just be the one – go ahead and treat yourself!
