What Fragrance Are You?

Fragrance? Do you have a signature fragrance, one that even though you have fifty perfume bottles on your shelf to choose from you always seem to choose the same one? Even though our choices are endless when it comes to perfumes today most women have one fragrance that they wear all the time. Even though on occasion women will try out a new perfume for a special occasion they still have a signature scent, one that they reach for everyday before leaving the house.

Most women don't start off with the notion of having a signature scent, it just happens. A stranger stopping you on the street to tell you how wonderful you smell and inquiring as to what perfume you are wearing; or a co-worker leaning in for a sniff before the elevator doors open. The feeling you have after a day of compliments will have you reaching for the same bottle of perfume day after day, thereby becoming your signature. If for your birthday or Christmas your friends and family all gift you with the same bottles of perfume you'll know why. They have equated that scent with you.

Most often it is a person's body chemistry that chooses the fragrance. Since no two people have the same body chemistry make-up, no perfume is going to smell the same on different people. If your friend loves Oscar de la Renta and receives compliments every time she walks out the door keep in mind that what Oscar smells like on her most likely won't be what it smells like on you. It is our unique chemistry and oils that mix with the perfumes to give that perfect signature scent. For some women, when they find that perfect perfume the desire is no longer there to seek out and wear anything else.

A certain perfume might increase your confidence and make you feel sexy and sensual. Why wouldn't you reach for a scent that does that? If it also lifts your spirits that's even better. While you are on your search for your signature scent just remember how each scent you try makes you feel and how those around you react to them. Since scents are linked with memories, your signature woman's fragrance is an indication to others of who you are and for those who may be interested; it's a memory of one unforgettable woman.
