How to Find Your Signature Scent

Short answer: To find your signature scent, work out which fragrance family you gravitate towards (woody, fresh, floral, sweet or amber), test a few on skin over a full day, and use a discovery set to narrow it down before buying full size.

Step by step

1. Identify your family — see our fragrance families guide.
2. Test on skin, not paper — give it a few hours to develop.
3. Try a few, not twenty — too many at once overwhelms your nose.
4. Consider the occasion — fresh for day, richer for evening.
5. Use a discovery set — our pick-and-mix sets let you sample before committing.

Prices start from £4.95, so finding your signature doesn't have to be expensive.
