Find your new signature scent with the very best perfumes for women

It’s easy to find the one with our guide to the best perfume on the market right now

With millions of perfumes to choose from it can be a daunting, almost impossible, task to find the best perfume for women – let alone 'the ‘one’ you’ll use as your signature scent'.

How to find your signature scent.

You can endlessly spray yourself at perfume counters, but it'’s more likely to leave you with a headache rather than your ultimate scent. So how do you discover the scent that almost seems like its been made for you?

‘You should always be looking for the notes that resonate with you, and only you’', says fragrance supremo, and founder of the Fragrance Society, Lorna McKay.

‘For instance, if you enjoy the smell of freshly cut flowers, you should look for notes of white flowers. If you prefer something warm, that almost hugs you, try something with amber.’

So before you even start misting fragrances around the room, take time to reflect on the things you enjoy. What have you smelled in the past and loved? What memories resonate with particular aromas?

Once you'’ve got that down, then you can spray – but take your time. Don’t spray several fragrances within close distance to each other. Scents have the ability to travel and so will mix together, resulting in an aroma that’s not even close t'o what you’ll take away when you spray your fragrance on its own. Fragrance combining is a whole different ball game altogether.

Essentially, you have to take your time before heading to a different fragrance counter. But, perfume is all about appreciation. After all, there’s a few surprising facts about perfume and the ingredients contained in them that everyone should know.

Once you think you'’ve found the one, spray it on a blotter. If it'’s still appealing, spray it on your skin. If it'’s still appealing (and not just something that will 'do'), you'’ve found the one. It might seem like a long process, but it'’s worth it. Here’s what your go-to fragrance says about your personality.

And don’t worry about being without your favourite fragrance when you’re off on your travels, these best travel fragrance kits will see you through.
