How do I find my perfect signature scent?

Which perfume suits me? – How to find your signature scent

You might be wondering, "How exactly do I go about finding my signature fragrance?" Here are a few practical tips to help you on your search:

• Recall fragrance moments: Think about perfumes that have impressed you in the past. Was there that one perfume you loved on someone else? Or a fragrance you once sampled and couldn't forget? These memories are a good starting point and point to scents that particularly appeal to you.
• Try different fragrance families: Go to a perfumery or order samples and sniff through each family . For example, compare a floral scent with a fresh one, then a woody scent with an oriental one. This way, you'll quickly get a sense of which fragrances you immediately love, or which you might be able to rule out. Don't be afraid to try fragrances you wouldn't otherwise have chosen—surprises are allowed!
• Try it on your skin: A fragrance often develops differently on your skin than on the test strip. Spray promising candidates on your wrists (one on each arm to distinguish them). Wear them for a few hours and observe how they develop. Do you still feel comfortable with them after a while? Does the fragrance match how you feel that day? Pay attention to how the fragrance smells in the base note, i.e., after a few hours—because that's usually how others perceive you .
• Take your time: The search for the perfect perfume is a journey of pleasure , not a sprint. Don't overload your nose; try no more than three or four scents per day so your senses aren't overwhelmed. Take breaks in between (sniffing coffee beans neutralizes this, for example) and listen to your gut feeling. It's perfectly normal to need several attempts. After all, your signature scent should be something special.
• Use fragrance twins for experimentation: Buying expensive luxury perfumes simply to test them out can quickly blow your budget. This is where fragrance twins come in. With high-quality perfume dupes, you can try out different styles without spending a fortune. For example, if you like the idea of ​​a particular niche fragrance, you can try the fragrance twin first and see if it really suits you. At Fioré , you'll find first-class dupes from all fragrance families—ideal for testing different fragrances thoroughly in the comfort of your own home. This way, you can find your signature scent without having to buy countless expensive original bottles.

In the end, only one thing matters: You have to feel completely comfortable with the fragrance. Once you've found your favorite, wear it with pride! Over time, your signature scent will become more and more "your" scent because it connects with your experiences. Whether it's the floral everyday companion that makes you start the day with a smile every morning or the oriental evening scent that makes you feel irresistible – the important thing is that it makes you happy.

And remember: There's nothing wrong with having several favorite scents. Some people choose different perfumes depending on their mood or the season. But having a signature scent, that one perfume that accompanies you like a fragrant signature, is a wonderful thing. We wish you much joy on your fragrance journey—may your perfect signature scent find you soon!
