Actually, no scent is labelled to fit one’s personality. It really depends on how the wearer brings.

Choosing a perfume or fragrance helps you introduce yourself to the people around you. Your scent definitely leaves a mark that may allow them to remember you or the impression you gave while wearing that scent.

However, finding the perfect scent that matches your personality may be a challenge. In this article, we will use our best efforts to help you find the scent that is suitable for your personality and style!

For the social butterflies

If you are the type of person who loves to talk and make friends with anyone, we're pretty sure you’ve earned the social butterfly badge from your friends. You just love to meet new people and be in their presence. Similar to a butterfly who’s attracted to flowers, you may include florals in your fragrance game.

Floral-centred perfumes are often light and warm as they remind us of fun and memorable sunny days, which makes them a perfect scent to initiate new friendships and develop!

You may want to try the following floral perfumes:
• Gucci’s Bloom
• Chloe’s Chloé
• Tom Ford’s Rose Prick 

Classy and sophisticated

If you give off the impression of being subtle and refined, we could have a hunch that you're the kind of person who prefers to keep things simple and go straight to the point. You dress nicely most of the time and go to a wide variety of meetings on a regular basis.

In a nutshell, you are consistently dealt with as either an important guest or a possible future business partner. When it comes to fragrances, making a good first impression is crucial for ensuring that your appearance will be remembered for a long time.

Unique scents with combinations of chypre are something to consider:
• Dior’s Miss Dior
• Chanel’s Coco Mademoiselle
• Chloe’s Nomade

Happy-go-lucky

They adhere to the belief that "you only live once," and as a result, they are unbothered and outgoing individuals. They have a positive attitude and will give anything to look and smell as fresh as possible! You certainly have someone in mind who fits the description, don't you?

If they are having trouble finding a perfume that fits their character, you may suggest that they begin their hunt with scents that have a fruity or fresh scent. It's possible that fruity perfumes will go well with their bubbly personality, and fresh scents will pair nicely with their happy nature.

With some scents to back up too:
• Jo Malone London’s Grapefruit
• Mugler’s Naughty Fruity
• Marc Jacob’s Daisy Eau So Fresh

Artsy and creatives

You have often been dubbed a head-turner because of your uniqueness! Creative people love to make a mark or leave a long-lasting impression on the people around them. They don’t follow the trends, as they usually set them! And when it comes to perfumes, they will surely make everyone curious about the scent they wear.

Scents that feature greens, woody tones, and spices may work well with you as these scents always pique one’s curiosity about you.

Scents to consider:
• Creed’s Green Irish Tweed
• Diptyque’s Eau de Minthé
• Chanel’s No. 19

Someone who’s in between

If you’re just cool with everything, then you’re the type of person who’d love things to be plain and simple. You mostly go with the flow and are not really a fan of making a fuss. However, you’re the type of person who goes straight to the point and would leave interesting thoughts around the group.

Cool aquatic scents work well if you’re looking for one. The fresh aquatic perfumes eliminate any comfortable fashion pieces you may wear to give you a very cool and approachable ambience.

Aqua scents that you may want to consider:
• Maison Margiela Replica Sailing Day
• Nautica Voyage
• Acqua di Parma’s Blu Mediterraneo Fico di Amalfi
