heaven scent
Chanel N°5 is, without a doubt, the most iconic fragrance of all time. It's been a staple within many a glamorous woman's fragrance wardrobes since its creation back in 1921.
I believe there’s so many fragrances on the market so there’s bound to be one that captures your personality and your mood. My current favourites are Coco Chanel, Mon Guerlain, and Light Blue!
fragance families
Primarily, fragrances can be put into scent families.
Scent families are broken up into four main categories: Floral, Oriental, Woody, and Fresh, each with their own subfamilies. A scent family has distinctive characteristics and often individuals will gravitate towards one scent family over another when choosing personal fragrances. I tend to love more oriental and woody fragrances on the whole but again it depends on the occasion and my mood as well as the season we’re in.
A good place to start is to ask yourself the following question - which of these things I you prefer the smell of?
A. A bouquet of flowers - Floral
B. Freshly cut grass - Woody
C. The Ocean - Fresh
D. Warm spices - Oriental
There’s no hard and fast rules….just be adventurous and keep experimenting with different scents and I’m sure you’ll have your own special collection of favourites very soon.

Finding ‘the one’
When it comes to finding your signature fragrance it’s best to start with identifying the feeling you want to evoke. Do you want to feel invigorated, energised or calm, sophisticated or sassy?
Your signature scent is really a statement about you and gives you the opportunity to highlight another part of your personality.
