Finding Your Signature Scent: A Beginner’s Guide

We believe everyone has a signature scent — you just might not have found yours yet. Here’s how to approach the journey with clarity and curiosity.

Step 1: Know Your Scent Families

• Citrus: Clean, zesty, bright (lemon, bergamot, mandarin)
• Floral: Soft, romantic, powdery (rose, peony, jasmine)
• Woody: Earthy, dry, warm (cedar, sandalwood)
• Oriental: Spicy, rich, sensual (amber, vanilla, musk)
• Fresh/Green: Crisp, outdoorsy, herbal (basil, mint, vetiver)

Step 2: Understand Your Skin Chemistry. Perfumes evolve on skin due to body temperature, pH, and oiliness. Always try before buying.

Step 3: Sample Widely Use our Discovery Set to experience a variety of profiles. Try them in different moods, weather, and times of day.

Step 4: Take Notes. Which ones fade quickly? Which ones linger? Which one got you compliments? These clues point to your match.

Step 5: Make It Personal. Forget trends. If Golden Hour makes you feel radiant, that’s what matters. Your signature scent should feel like a second skin — not just for occasions, but for every day.

Don’t rush the process. Scent is deeply intimate. When you find the one that moves you, you’ll know.
