Most of us have a signature scent that we simply can’t do without – the bottle we always turn to when it’s time to impress. But, have you ever thought about what it says about your personality? We’ve compiled a list of some of the top fragrance types and the characteristics they give off, so you can make sure your choice really represents you and helps you make that all-important first impression.
Although, before we start, do keep in mind that perfumes usually consist of more than one fragrance family, so may relate to a mixture of some of the below.
Citrus scents
Consisting of the likes of lemon, orange and lime, citrus fragrances are incredibly refreshing. Energised and vibrant, those who choose these scents are always raring to go. People who spend time with you are guaranteed to have a great time due to your bouncy, playful personality – perhaps you’re a bit of a party animal too? You definitely have a sassy side, but always with a fun twinkle in your eye.
Floral fragrances
Without a doubt, those who choose floral fragrances as their signature scent have plenty of graceful charm and are known for their sweet nature. People flock to you due to your caring, calm personality – something that people find comforting and relaxing. Floral fragrances usually contain rose, ylang ylang and orange blossom, all of which carry a softly sweet romantic ambience that reflects your personality perfectly.
Woody perfumes
If your scent of choice is woody, then you’ve got a laid back attitude that’ll have even the most highly strung person feeling relaxed. Strong and reliable, you’re a great friend to have due to your grounded, loyal personality. Woody perfumes contain scents such as sandalwood, cedar and patchouli – all of which are warm, natural and slightly mysterious – just like you.
Gourmand tendencies
Whether it be chocolate, caramel or honey, those who wear ‘edible’ gourmand scents never take themselves too seriously, but are effortlessly chic. You’re a natural trendsetter and never have to try hard to be cool. People are drawn to you and your comforting presence, just as they would be your delicious perfume.
Oriental choices
Bold yet mysterious, those who wear Oriental scents have an intense side that is undeniably alluring. You’ll give off a sense that you’re quite fun in an impulsive way and have a tough exterior with a soft soul underneath it all. Oriental scents usually have warm, spicy tones like cinnamon, jasmine, musk and amber, all of which reflect your confidence and strong sense of self.
Fruity favourites
Last, but certainly not least, those who love fruity scents containing strawberry, raspberry or watermelon are very outgoing. You never shy away from being the centre of attention and have a great sense of humour. You likely love to experiment with fashion and colour – the bolder the better. People admire your confidence and kindness; you may know you look good, but you never let it go to your head.
Do you think your fragrance reflects your personality well? As long as you feel confident and happy in your choice, you’re sure to exude a great vibe that everyone will fall in love with.
