Which Perfume Suits Me? Find Your Favourite Fragrance

Choosing a new fragrance can start with the scents you enjoy in daily life. Think of fresh citrus peel, a bouquet of flowers or the warmth of wood. Familiar smells can help you narrow down the fragrances you want to try.

Start with notes you already enjoy

Write down a few smells you enjoy. If you like crisp, sparkling scents, start with fresh compositions. Try floral or powdery scents for something softer. Woody and spicy accords are worth exploring if you prefer a warm, distinctive fragrance. These descriptions are a starting point for exploring.

Think about when you’ll wear it

A fragrance for a long day at the office may feel different from one you choose for a special evening. Consider where you’ll wear it and how noticeable you want it to be. A light application often works well in shared spaces. For celebrations, choose a composition you’d like to associate with the occasion.

Give the perfume time

A perfume changes as you wear it. Try it first on a paper tester. If you like the first impression, try it on your skin according to the directions. Give it time and see whether you enjoy the notes that emerge later.

Compare a small selection

Sampling too many fragrances in quick succession makes them harder to compare. Keep your shortlist small and take a break in fresh air between samples. Note what you like about each one, whether it’s a fresh opening, a floral heart or a warm finish. You may spot a pattern in your favourites.

Let your own taste guide you

Women’s, men’s and unisex categories can help you browse. Choose what you enjoy wearing. You can wear your favourite fragrance in any season. If you’re between two styles, try them on different days and see which feels right in your routine.

Our Fragrance Finder can help you pin down your preferences. Then explore the perfume collection for a composition that suits you.

Frequently asked questions

How do I choose an everyday fragrance?

Try a fragrance on your skin and check how it smells a few hours later. A light application is often enough for everyday wear.

Can I test more than one perfume at a time?

Try only a few at once, on separate areas of skin. Take a break between samples so you can compare them more easily.
