So which perfume should you choose? It depends on who you’re buying for.
The Relaxed and Easy Going Girl
This personality type prefers to dress in a casual way and hates overpowering perfumes.
Chilled out personalities suit light floral woody fragrances, citrus or spice. Look for notes including cedar, pine, patchouli or sandalwood.
Perfect fragrances for this personality include Chanel Chance, which is a young and feminine floral fragrance with notes of lemon and pink pepper, and Byredo Gypsy Water – a unisex scent combining citrus, black pepper, and pine needles
The Bold and Dramatic Woman
If you’re buying perfume for a strong woman who knows what she wants and is maybe a touch theatrical, you need a perfume that’s strong enough to match her personality.
Opt for exotic and rich fragrances with notes of musk, precious oils, and spices like cinnamon and cardamon.
Yves Saint Laurent Opium is a classic perfume in this category. It’s intoxicating scent combines oriental spices, jasmine, and warm amber to create an evocative and sensual fragrance. Flowerbomb Nectar by Viktor & Rolf is another good choice with its mysterious mixture of exotic flowers, vanilla, and patchouli.
The Sweet and Feminine Romantic
It’s easy to choose a perfume for a girly girl. Opt for romantic florals and sweet scents such as vanilla, rose, lily, and summer fruits.
Daisy Love Eau So Sweet by Marc Jacobs is a scent as sweet as its name, combining white raspberry with blackberry, jasmine and musk.
Lancôme Idôle is a sweet blend of vanilla, patchouli, jasmine, and rose in a slim petal pink glass bottle.
Or for the true romantic, Mon Paris by Yves Saint Laurent is inspired by the most romantic city in the world with notes of sweet pear and strawberry mingled with orange blossom, white musk, and vanilla.
The Rebellious Free Spirit
We all know a rebel who can’t be tamed. If you’re buying fragrance for a non-conformist, you’ll want a unique scent that will enable her to stand out from the crowd.
Mugler’s Alien is mysterious and iconic right down to the eye-catching bottle it comes in. Top notes of jasmine give way to cashmere wood and fade down to white amber.
Escentric Molecules Escentric 02 is designed for those who push through boundaries with its unique Iso E Super molecule that’s reminiscent of fresh pencil shavings, combined with jasmine and synthetic amber.
