Everyone loves to smell nice, but having a signature scent is even better. It gives you a sense of identity and singles you out in the crowd. How can you choose your signature fragrance to match your personality?

Perfumes fall into four categories; Parfum, Eau De Toilette, Eau De Parfum and Eau De Cologne. The most expensive in this list is Parfum because of the rich blends of fragrant oils used in its production. However, the most popular is Eau De Toilette, which can last for up to four hours.

If you want a longer last fragrance, the Parfum is your best bet. To choose a signature fragrance, try the following:

Test the top picks

Spray each on different parts of your arm and let it settle for a while. Later in the day, smell it to see if it still appeals to you. You can also ask friends for their opinion on which to choose.

Your guts are always right

Don’t focus on pretty packaging or designers. Even though this may be difficult because of the pressure to use such products. Don’t be influenced by such marketing strategies. If you like a particular scent, go for it without considering who made it and how it is packaged.

Where to apply perfume

Perfume should be applied on warm areas on the body such as the neck, wrists, décolleté, on your ankles and knees. These spots make it easier for the perfume to blend with your natural oils.

If your fragrance doesn’t last, mix some drops with a bland moisturizer and apply it on your body.
