Choosing A Perfume That Becomes Your Signature Scent

Finding the perfect perfume is always a journey filled with discovery and enjoyment. Regardless of the day ahead, the choice of scent can elevate your mood and confidence. Perfume is not just about smelling good; it's about feeling good and showing your unique self.

Understanding Your Personality and Scent Preferences

Think about the scents you enjoy—fresh gardens or warm spices? Observing your preferences helps identify fragrance families that match your personality.

Scent Preferences by Personality Type

Masculine, Feminine, and Unisex Options

Masculine perfumes use cedar and leather; feminine ones use rose and fruity notes. Calvin Klein ONE balances both as a unisex choice.

Perfume Scent Families

  • Floral: Popular and sweet, e.g., rose or lavender.
  • Woody: Sandalwood and cedar, ideal for nature lovers.
  • Oriental: Spicy and rich with vanilla or musk.
  • Citrus: Bright with bergamot, lemon, grapefruit.
  • Earthy: Moss, soil, and subtle natural vibes.

How to Test and Choose a Fragrance

  • Blotting Sheets: Start by testing on paper.
  • Let it Settle: Wait for top notes to fade before evaluating.
  • Test on Skin: Apply to wrists and assess over hours.

Tip: Apply lotion first if you have dry skin; it helps hold the fragrance longer.

Caring for Your Perfume

  • Keep away from heat, light, and humidity.
  • Store in original packaging if possible.
  • Most last 3–5 years; discard if color/scent changes.
  • Apply to pulse points (wrists, neck) and avoid rubbing.
