Choosing a perfume is much like choosing a pair of shoes or a dress – it’s a highly personal experience and everyone will be drawn to different things. If you want a perfume to compliment your personality, style and look, you need to pick a fragrance that perfectly captures your spirit. Here are some of the best scents for a range of personalities:
Florals: floral fragrances are generally delicate, sophisticated and linger for hours. They’re perfect for feminine, ladylike girls and girls who are swept away by love and romance easily. Opt for a floral fragrance if you’re a dreamer, an idealist or a girly girl.
Woods: woody scents have a strong edge to them and communicate power, grit and confidence. Opt for a perfume with distinctive woody notes if you’re an extrovert, an outdoorsy type or someone who likes to make a unique mark.
Fruits: fruity perfumes can be fun, cheeky and playful; they evoke ideas of summer, youth and happiness. Opt for a fruit-based scent if you’re young at heart, love to be the life of the party or have a cheeky sense of humor.
Creamy: creamy fragrances like those rich in notes of vanilla, chocolate or coconut, suggest sexiness and laidback charm. Choose a perfume with creamy notes if you are a smooth-talker, think one step ahead of the pack, or love to flaunt your assets.
Spicy: spicy scents like those containing herb, chilli and tobacco notes express toughness, vigour and innovation. Pick a perfume with strong spicy notes if you like to do things differently, are a natural attention-seeker or consider yourself a creative type.
I lean towards deep complex orientals. Do like fruit accords too.
