Of course, you have another consideration besides the fragrance itself—price. If you’re on a budget but choose the most expensive perfume at the shop for your signature scent, you won’t use it often enough for people to associate it with you. For a signature scent to truly express your personality, those around you need to associate it just with you. If you fall in love with an expensive perfume, find a less expensive perfume that uses the same family of fragrances.

As you look for your signature scent, enjoy the process. You’ll find out what makes you unique and find a new way to express yourself. You may need to try out more than one fragrance to find the one that expresses your true personality. Once you find a fragrance, people will come to think of the fragrance as an extension of you, and anywhere they encounter that fragrance, they’ll think of you.
