Perfume is an important part of our personal style and can evoke emotions and memories. But with so many fragrances to choose from, it can be overwhelming to find the perfect scent. In this guide, we'll provide some tips on how to choose the perfect fragrance that complements your personality and lifestyle.
1. Understand the different types of fragrances
There are different concentrations of fragrance, and understanding them can help you choose the perfect one. Eau de Cologne is the lightest, Eau de Toilette offers a balance of strength and longevity, and Eau de Parfum is the strongest and longest-lasting. Every scent in our designer-inspired range is a full-strength Eau de Parfum, so you get the richest, longest-wearing version.
2. Identify your fragrance preferences
Knowing what you like is the key to choosing a new perfume. Identify your preferences by trying different scents and paying attention to the note families you enjoy. You might lean towards fresh citrus and floral scents, warm amber and woody ones, or sweet gourmands — most people find they're drawn to two or three families.
3. Consider your lifestyle and personality
Your lifestyle and personality can also guide your choice. If you're outgoing, you might prefer a bold, high-projection scent like 543 BR (inspired by Baccarat Rouge 540). If you're more understated, something subtle and clean like 421 LV (inspired by Météore) may suit you better. Think too about where you'll wear it — office, evenings, or everyday.
4. Test the fragrance
Before committing to a full bottle, test a scent on your skin — perfume smells different on everyone, and how it develops and lasts on you is what really matters. The easy way to do this is with a 2ml sample from just £1.89 or a 15ml travel size: wear it for a full day, see how it dries down, and only size up to the ones you love.
5. Don't be afraid to mix and match
Sometimes the perfect fragrance is a combination of two. Experiment with layering — a scent over a matching shower gel or body balm, or two complementary fragrances — to create something unique to you.
