Your sense of dress reveals a lot about your personality, as can your hair or makeup. While your style aesthetic can be glimpsed across the room, your signature scent is a more intimate and nuanced way of divulging who you are—or desire to be.
For many, a signature scent is a subconscious way to etch a mark into people’s minds. It’s about how they will perceive you. On your end, a signature scent determines what your day is like or what type of mood you want to create. However, choosing a signature scent can take some time, especially if you consider the many options for men, women and unisex perfumes. This is where we help you!
Keep reading to know the four best tips for finding your signature scent.

Consider Trends But With Caution
If you remember, Palo Santo had a huge moment a couple of years ago. Right now, vanilla and green tea perfumes are beginning to make their way into our social media algorithms. Trends come and go—just like with fashion—so consider carefully when shopping. As David Moltz of D.S. & Durga says,
"Trends are a helpful cue to what is going on, but like anything else as you learn what you like, you learn to trust your own instincts."
Spend Time With It
It’s no secret that perfumes don’t smell the same on everyone due to our unique skin chemistry. How a perfume smells on sampler paper won’t necessarily smell the same on your skin. So, spend some time, sample perfumes carefully and try out travel-sized bottles before investing in a full-sized unisex perfume.
Consider How It Makes You Feel
Do you want to feel playful? Or sensual? Or mysterious? Consider these things when you try out perfumes. Bee Shapiro of Ellis Brooklyn explains this the best,
“It should make them their ideal self—this sense of recognition with a drop of aspiration. When you spray on the scent, it should feel not only that this scent is who you are, but who you want to be.”
