– What Your Signature Perfume Scent Says About You –
It’s always fun to change up your fragrance whenever the season changes (or whenever you’re just ready for something new), but we always notice that we have our usual ‘go-to’ that just make us feel more comfortable. But what do they all mean? Based on which scents you typically flow towards, this is what they may say about you.
Woodsy – If you typically go the woodsy route, it usually means you’re sensual, prefer comfort, love to feel sexy, and aren’t afraid to command attention. You like a little extra spice in your life and are ready to ask for exactly what you want. Typically woodsy scents are perfect in the cooler (or even colder) temperatures especially in the late fall and winter.
Some great woodsy choices are perfumes like: Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium, Tom Ford Oud Wood, or Jo Malone Wood Sage & Sea Salt.
Floral – If your go-to is always something floral, you may be more on the feminine side and a true romantic at heart. You’re someone who loves to feel free, prefers light colors surrounding you, and typically takes a moment to stop, get into the present, and take a brief quiet moment for gratitude. Floral scents are most popular in the warmer months surrounding spring and summer.
Some great floral choices include: Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb, Chanel Chance Eau Tendre, Valentino Donna, and Gucci Bloom.
Fruity – When you choose fruity fragrances (or ones with a citrus base) you’re typically similar to those who love floral options. You’re usually more carefree, outgoing, and the life of the party. Don’t get us wrong, there are those of us who are more introverts that will sway towards a more fruity scent, but usually we reserve citrusy perfumes for those who are ready to stand up and get noticed. The best thing about this kind is that it really can be worn pretty much any month of the year, regardless of the season or temperature. Be that rule breaker you already know you are!
Some great fruity choices include: Versace Bright Crystal, Jo Malone London English Pear & Freesia, Tom Ford Neroli Portofino, and Acqua di Parma Blu Mediterraneo.
