Finding the Best Perfume To Suit Your Style and Personality

Just as every individual is unique, this is also true of perfume. You will find that lots of women and men have their “signature” perfume that they feel encompasses their character and overall style and it is usually a fragrance which promotes mood and uplifts the spirit. If you haven't done already, finding the best perfume for you may take a bit of trial and error, but you will have fun along the way.


Generally, younger women in their teens and early twenties prefer light, floral scents such as some of the Lacoste and Tommy Hilfiger ranges and a current top seller is “Very Irresistible” by Givenchy. These scents are usually made up of light notes with very little musky tones included.

Older women may opt for more spicy and musky aromas as well as the light, fresh scents for varying occasions. Just like anything in life, what is desirable for one person may be completely wrong for the next so it is just a matter of taste. The olfactory sense is a very complicated and sophisticated system involving the lining of the nose leading to the brain and can completely change your mood at the drop of a hat. The best perfume for you is usually the one which makes you feel the best whether it be more optimistic, inspired, more beautiful or just warm and fuzzy.

Some women like to have a selection of perfumes to wear for different occasions, times of the day and seasons of the year. You may have a particular scent that you like to wear on holiday which gets you in the mood for a fun but relaxing couple of weeks. Perhaps you want a perfume for becoming truly irresistible on a night out.

A good idea to find your perfect scent is to try out a free trial at a perfume store and wear it for a few hours. It is very difficult to find out which perfume you like if you are spraying one after another at the perfume counter as eventually you will not be able to smell anything at all and will probably develop a headache.

Finding the best perfume for you may take a few tries before you get it just right, however it can be fun to mess around with different scents and become familiar with the different notes and aromas that make up the overall perfume.
