Perfume Personalities

Women today wear anything from light florals to deep, almost masculine woody scents, and everything in between. Work out your perfume personality with the guide below and discover which NEW scents might work for you.

Floral

Weather a single note (like rose or jasmine), or petal-packed bouquet, these are soft, sweet and one of the easiest families to identify.

If you love: Jo Malone Red Roses Cologne, Chanel Coco Mademoiselle, Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb.
Then try: Marc Jacobs Daisy, D&G Rose The One, Calvin Klein Beauty.

Fruity

Sometimes blended wih flowery notes to create fruity-florals, these center around sparkling citrus or succulent juicy fruits like peach, berries and apples.

If you love: DKNY Be Delicious, SJP NYC, Ralph Lauren Ralph.
Then try: Jo Malone Lime Basil and Mandarin, Beyonce Heat Rush.

Woody

From cedar, sandalwood and patchouli-laced scents to spicy, woody-orientals, these are deep and sensual.

If you love: Thierry Mugler Angel, Carolina Herrera 212 Sexy, D&G Light Blue.
Then try: Bulgari Jasmin Noir, Thierry Mugler Alien, Paco Rabanne Lady Million.

Green

These can be anything from fresh cut grass to watery-scented florals to deep violet leaf notes.

If you love: Miller Harris Fleurs de Bois, Sisley Eau de Campagne.
Then try: Giorgio Armani Acqua di Gioia, A Scent by Issey Miyake.

Oriental

Rich in resins and spices, heavy on the amber and musks - these are undoubtedly the sexiest and most potent perfumes of them all.

If you love: Prada L'Eau Ambree, Calvin Klein Secret Obsession.
Then try: Gucci Guilty, YSL Belle D'Opium.
