The world of luxury scents and fragrances is an intricate one, indeed. There are so many beautiful scents to choose from that it can be incredibly difficult to narrow down your favourites and find one particular smell that really speaks to who you are as a person.
Once you find that fabled fragrance, however, you’ll know that it’s the one for you… almost like coming home, in fact. One deep delicious breath in and you’ll feel the familiarity of the fragrance immediately. That’s it! That’s your signature scent!
To help you track down that elusive fragrance, that scent that defines who you are and expresses every aspect of your identity with just one quick spritz at the wrist, you’ll need to try a few fragrances out before you buy.
While it’s tempting to just spray different options on blotters and start smelling away, this can overwhelm the senses and leave you more confused than ever. Avoid this by taking some samples away with you and spraying them individually on your wrist at a time, leaving each for a few hours to see how it feels - and how you feel when you wear it.
You also need to think about what it is you’re trying to convey. A certain level of self-awareness is required if you’re to find the perfect signature scent, so ask yourself some soul-searching questions to set yourself off in the right direction.
Are you a retiring wallflower, for example? Or would you rather make a statement wherever you go? These are questions that will help you narrow down your choices when it comes to fragrance.
From there, you can start researching different fragrance families to see what you prefer. These include the likes of woody, citrus, floral, spicy, musk and amber notes… and it’s a process of elimination to discover your favourites, which will certainly be a lot of fun!
