The perfume you choose is an expression of who you are. Everyone has their own individual scent of choice and perfume helps them flaunt it. Let your personality shine with the right perfume to match. Follow your personal scent and find the right perfume for you.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    If you are a romantic with a conservative personality, pick a subtle floral perfume that is sweet. You don't want the perfume to be overbearing and cause attention. Floral perfumes are feminine and include scents of sweet pea, rose, and even jasmine.

  2. Step 2

    The natural and innocent gal will prefer a fresh and clean scent. A natural personality will prefer a barely there, natural smell. An airy perfume with hints of grass and mint is a nice choice for this personality.

  3. Step 3

    For the busy gal with the exciting and fast paced life, perfumes that are present and strong are the best choices. Spicy, vanilla, and musky scents are preferred by this outgoing and slightly mysterious gal. Perfumes that are described as exotic are a perfect match.

  4. Step 4

    If you are a free spirit or bohemian and hippy type of girl, you may prefer not to wear a perfume at all. In case you do want to experiment with a perfume to match your personality, choose the scents that are fruity. A scent with a grapefruit scent will be a popular choice for this personality type, along with any other scents of citrus.

  5. Step 5

    A tomboy will want a scent that is earthy and a little masculine. A gal with the tomboy personality likes sports and isn't afraid to get dirty. The scent this personality will be drawn to will be a musk, oak, and sandalwood scent.

  6. Step 6

    Choosing a brand of perfume will be overwhelming because there are literally thousands of perfumes available. Once you know what type of scent you are looking for, go out and experiment with the different scents available. Eventually you will find the right perfume that will match your personality.

Tips & Warnings
  • Perfume takes about a half an hour to reveal its true scent. When choosing a perfume, take your time and come back to purchase it after testing it out to be sure it's what you want.
  • Be careful not to sample too many perfumes all at once. You might get the scents mixed up and purchase the wrong perfume.
