New Year, New Scent!

It’s A New Year: Find Your New Signature Scent 

2023 is a New Year and time to change up your fragrance game. Finding your perfect signature scent can seem daunting, especially with so many perfumes to choose from. Don’t stress, we have you covered. You don’t have to leave home and spray hundreds of perfumes at a crowded department store…just follow our FragranceX tried-and-true guide.

What is a signature scent?

Simply stated, it’s your go-to fragrance! It is that special perfume that gets you the most compliments and suits your chemistry, your personality, and your style. 

Know what you like… and don’t like. 

If heavy perfumes aren’t for you, try fresh scents and light scents. L’Eau d’Issey smells clean and transparent, bringing to mind mountain streams, watery fruits, and green shoots. 

If you want a fragrance that will leave a memorable scent trail, we recommend Yves Saint Laurent Cinema which makes any woman feel like a Hollywood star. Vanilla is the main character, slightly powdery as if the screen star is touched up before the camera rolls. Entering the plot are juicy clementine, jasmine, and almond blossom. Beautiful, classy, and unforgettable… long after you leave the room.

What is your style?

Are you more comfortable in blue jeans and a tee shirt or is your goal to be as glam as influencer Huda Kattan?

If your style is low-key, you should still smell lovely. Sarah Jessica Lovely is classy, fresh, and easy to wear. Lovely opens with bergamot and mandarin for a juicy sweetness like an Apple martini. Orchids and silky paper-white rest atop your skin but better musk. This is a fresh, subtle fragrance that is understated and easy to wear.

Tom Ford Noir de Noir is a perfume powerhouse. Rose, bittersweet chocolate, saffron, and truffle add to the delicious decadence of the perfume which is so sexy, that people will stop you wherever you go. The scent trail of Noir de Noir is so enticing that you won’t be able to keep Noir de Noir a secret.

Do you live in a warm or cold climate?

Your skin is dryer when the temperature drops, so light eau de toilettes won’t last long. In warm weather, the stronger concentration and sillage of eau de parfums can feel like a heavy blanket when the temperature soars.

In chilly climates, try a more intense version of a fragrance. Our pick to pack a powerful perfume punch is Dolce Gabbana Femme Intense, a luscious winter berry-infused floral with a hit of vanilla, that registers 10 on the sex appeal meter. 

Spray Jo Malone’s Lime Basil & Mandarin and feel the sunshine burst out behind the clouds, with gentle raindrops of citrus fruits reflecting their colors all around you. A hefty dose of all things wonderful, this popular Jo Malone EDT blooms in warm weather. 

Can you splurge or are you on a budget?

Our advice is to buy the perfume you love the most, after all, it will be your signature scent.

Roja Parfum 51 for Women smells expensive on the first spritz. Young in feeling, the bouquet of lily of the valley, leafy violet, exotic tropical flowers, and orange blossom glows with ambery sunshine. Clove and cinnamon are sprinkled over a raspberry kiss as vanilla and benzoin caress sheer woods, benzoin and vanilla at the base. Whether you are at work or out on a date 51 Pour Femme will get a lot of attention. 

Jovan Musk perfume is very affordable, without smelling cheap, and is soft, floral, pretty, and clean-smelling. What makes it a standout is that it adapts to your chemistry, so it will smell uniquely you.
