Finding your Signature Scent

Anonymous asked, “I need a perfume that I can wear every day, because I have no idea!!

Well, normally people break perfumes up into four groups: woody, oriental, floral and fresh. These are the basic four, but click here if you'd like to see a full list of perfume categories. Figure out what type you like first (ask your mum and friends if you can sniff some of theirs, or for their personal opinions) before you go shopping. Go to a store with a lot of different perfumes available for you to choose from.

Tell a staff member about what type of perfume you’d like, (tell him/her about one of the four groups I mentioned earlier) and they should be able to help you. If the store has some coffee beans, it’s good to sniff them because it clears your nose before you try on your perfume (if not, sniffing your bare skin works just as well, if not better!). Also, make sure you leave a minute or two between fragrances so your nose doesn't get confused.

Once you've chosen your perfume, it’s good to ask for the larger version because it’s usually better value for money. Forget about the price - perfume is worth it, because it'll make you super happy knowing you now have an amazing signature scent!

Keep your perfume in a cool place away from direct sunlight, so it lasts longer. Keep sending in your questions! xx
