Floral

Do you like spending time outdoors? If your ideal days deem spending time in nature, then floral scents are for you. Floral scents are sweet and powdery with a hint of cream. Imagine passing by a flower shop, fresh cut flowers, jasmine, and lilies — if that's your cup of tea,  are for you.  

Wood 

If you are drawn to warm, dense, and complex scents, you will understand the value of woody and musky scents. They are perfect for the ultimate masculine scent, but once blended with other fragrances, they curate contemporary scents ideal for him and her. 

Citrus

Think line, lemons, tangerines, grapefruit and oranges. Citrus scents provide an instant burst of invigorating energy. Perfume lovers find citrus scents to be uplifting, clean, and fresh. Citrus perfumes offer a zesty, tangy, and sweet scent — perfect for everyday wear. 

Fruity

Like citrus scents, but a bit more on the dewy and sweeter side —  fruity scents offer a similar refreshing feeling. Anyone who loves fruity scents isn't afraid to express themselves, live carefree, and experiment. Fruity scents are just like the first crisp air of spring day; they are genuinely calming.

Amber 

Used to create rich oriental scents, amber combines many popular scents, such as vanilla and patchouli.  Its intense scent is known to evoke sensuality and ancient wisdom. It's the ideal unisex scent for those who love deep, musky, long-lasting perfumes. 

French Oriental

The Renaissance Era was the turning point for French perfumes as they feature amber, vanilla, and jasmine scents. If you like sticking to one signature scent, French Oriental perfumes are for you. They have a deep fragrance that is not too overpowering. 

Musk

Often warm scents are dense and over-powering. However, with musk you can explore the same depth with a more sweet and clean feeling. Musky perfumes have an impression of woodsy, earthy and powdery arome. You may even be able to notice fruity and floral undertones. 

Final Word 

Signing off with a pro tip for choosing the perfect perfume: Always test before you invest. Always try a perfume on your skin before buying it, as the fragrance may smell different on your skin compared to a tester strip.
