i would recommend reading up on perfume blogs, such as nowsmellthis, boisdejasmin, etc. most perfumistas will tell you that there is no such thing as a signature scent… you may find certain notes that you like, or “moods” of fragrance, but finding a signature is less important that exploring different scents. it’s a lot like food.. you know what you enjoy but don’t need the same thing everyday!

I am a fan of Hugo by Hugo Boss Women - not too fruity or flowery but not musky either. But I love LOVE LOVE Origins Ginger Essence. The rollerball version is cheap, won’t leak during travel and is easy to pop in your bag (plus men seem to love it!)

I’m a fan of trying, admittedly more expensive, but less common scents - such as Annick Goutal, Jo Malone and Penhaligon. I love Penhaligon’s Artemsia, personally - very subtle.

I love perfumes, and have a growing collection of them it seems like. I am 25 and can’t get over the floral scents- I especially love Chanel’s Chance EAU FRAÎCHE (green) its is so refreshing and smells even better than the original Chance if that is even possible. One of my fav flower scents is the Gardenia, and Michael by Michael Kors bottles this scent impeccably with different notes of gardenia, tuberose, and lush, tropical white florals. Michael can be used by all ages; it’s a timeless scent, and smells good on everyone. You can always get free samples of the scents you want to try at a nearby Sephora, or department store.
