The goal of every woman is to find their perfect, signature scent, because who doesn’t love to smell good! But the search for this scent is not easy. With descriptions like “sensual violet, musk, amber, and muget” used to explain a fragrance it’s no wonder women are confused! Let’s be real, who really knows what sandalwood smells like! So we decided to break it down and show you some perfect scents to go along with your personal style.

If you love to rock leather, studs, and all black ensembles, then these scents are for you! For those who aim to emulate the style of celebs like Kylie Jenner we suggest:

  1. Elizabeth and James- Nirvana ($75)

  2. Viktor and Rolf- Flowerbomb ($80)

For those who are all about peace and love and often find themselves putting flowers in their hair like Vanessa Hudgens, we think you’d like…

  1. Marc Jacobs- Oh, Lola! ($68)
  2. Gucci- Envy Me ($92)

 

Calling all classic girls! If you like to keep your style simple and cute like Lauren Conrad then you’ll adore these perfumes:

  1. Coach- Poppy ($65)
  2. Chloe- See by Chloe ($58)

 

If you covet the closets of women like Olivia Palermo and can’t stay away from anything floral, then you’ll love these feminine perfumes:

  1. Dior- Miss Dior ($70)
  2. Marc Jacobs- Daisy ($75)
  3. Vera Wang- Princess ($60)

Don’t fret if you don’t find your perfect scent right away, finding your signature perfume takes time, patience and lots of trial and error! One tip to help you find your fragrance that most girls don’t know: the employees at Sephora will give you up to three free samples of any perfumes you choose! So next time your on the hunt for a new fragrance head down to Sephora and make sure to take home samples of your favorites. Remember that the scent you may love in the store could smell completely different after wearing it all day, or it may not last until the end of the day at all! So make sure to try out a few different scents before deciding on your favorite. Good luck, and happy perfume hunting!
