Scents can be quite overwhelming and confusing if you are new to the world of fragrances. Scents and fragrances are available in a wide variety, with many options for people to pick from.
The process of discovering your signature scent or fragrance is not an easy one, however, we will provide a few steps that will guide you in possibly finding your signature fragrance that will not only compliment your mood and personality but also boost your confidence.
House of Fraser – a British department store chain – states that both men and women can be branched under the same four categories – musky, zesty, floral and spice scents.
Once you figure out which of these are more appealing to you and compliment you, you are then a step closer to the discovery of your signature fragrance. House of Fraser advises that the best decision one can possibly make is to choose a long-lasting fragrance.
Here are the fragrances advised by House of Fraser:
- Floral and fruity
Women: This mixture comes off as light and refreshing with a sweet nuance. This scent is said to be one of the most lasting scents and is advised to be used during summer seasons.
Men: These lighter tones are often what men shy away from. However, these scents, which are often orange blossom, are known as the “heart of all eau de colognes.”
- Fresh and zesty
Women: These tones come highly advised for the springtime as they contain an effervescent lingering quality that produces a refreshing elegance. This fruity and zesty combination of notes is a perfect blend of sweet and crisp.
Men: This is definitely a go-to for all those gentlemen that are not afraid of something new, and a bit of adventure. This mixture of tones makes a great everyday fragrance as it contains a crisp balance of citrus fruits such as grapefruit and bergamot.
- Woody and musky
Women: These notes are often disregarded by many females. Notoriously known for making ideal evening scents, this combination provides an air of mystery.
Men: Musk remains the ideal scent for many men. The bases of these scents are often strong, making them ideal for night time. These woody vetiver, amberwood or patchouli notes will definitely leave a lasting impression.
- Spicy and exotic
Women: These sensational and warm scents definitely add a combination of gorgeousness and delighfulness to your evening outfit. The foundation of these scents are usually floral, orchid, bergamot and mandarin.
Men: These charming scents are best suited for men of opulence who are seeking fragrances and scents to make them stand out. This perfect combination of amber and spices can be a great date night scent to charm your partner and boost your confidence to a whole new level.
