Your signature scent should feel like a second skin. Start with the fragrance family you naturally love.

1. Know the families

  • Fresh – citrus, aquatic and green notes. Great for daytime.
  • Floral – rose, jasmine, magnolia. Soft and romantic.
  • Woody – cedar, sandalwood, vetiver. Warm and grounded.
  • Amber – vanilla, musk, spice. Rich and long-lasting.

2. Test on skin

Perfume changes on your skin over a few hours. Let the heart and base notes develop before you decide.

3. Match the moment

Lighter scents for office and summer, deeper scents for evenings and winter.
