Perfume can be a really personal thing. Your scent can leave a lasting impression so here's how to decide what kimd of perfume girl you are.

Your perfume is sort of a trademark. Your sense of smell is, in fact, your strongest sense. It induces memories and can leave a lasting impression on people who you meet. So it's important that you love your scent or that it means something to you. There are literally millions of perfumes to choose from so it's difficult to choose just one. There's no rule to say that you have to choose just one, you can have lots or you can have a signature.

Personally, I love to have a signature scent but in saying that, my signature scent has changed over the years. I have gone from fresh and fruity to more woody notes depending on where I am in my life. Choosing your scent as to be personal to you. I think the best way to choose the scent for you is to narrow it down. Decide what your perfume should say about you - are you fun and flirty, serious and intense or are you more of a fresh hippy? You can choose between fresh, floral, woody or oriental perfumes depending on your type.

The Fragrance Categories

Fresh perfumes are for the hippy chick in you. They smell fresh and clean and shout that you are free spirited. If that's you in a nutshell, look for a perfume that boasts green notes, aquatic notes, citrus or berry notes or aromatic herbs.

Woody perfumes have become popular in the last couple of years. They are an unusual fragrance and can be quite intense. They might not be for everyone but if they are for you you will fall in love with them. A woody perfume smells rich, classy and mysterious. If that's the type of woman you see yourself as you are looking for fragrances with notes of leather or dry woods, mossy woods, aromatic woods or even oriental woods.

Oriental fragrances are again, an acquired taste. They are suited to a spiritual sweetheart. If you love burning incense, yoga and meditating - you will love perfumes that have sweet spicy notes and oriental resins.

Floral perfumes are for a quietly confident woman who doesn't like drama. These perfumes are generally pleasing to everybody. Floral perfumes have an inoffensive, pleasant scent that pretty much everybody will like. You are looking for notes of fresh cut flowers, powdery notes or scents like orange blossom.

Do you have a signature scent? Do you find that your fragrance taste has changed over the years?
