If the day ahead has you debating between a mirrored tray’s worth of perfumes (or a department store’s fragrance department!) in search of the perfect scent, you’re not alone.
Sure, some people have a signature scent that rarely veer from, but for all of you for whom your fragrance of choice varies with the season, your mood, or your day ahead, we wanted to know the art (or is it science?!) or picking the perfect perfume.
Naturally, we turned to famed fashion designer and perfumer extraordinaire, Anna Sui to shine light on the notes to look for when we want to highlight certain aspects of multidimensional personalities. (Hey, it was her first namesake scent that first began our my obsession with perfume!)
Anna Sui’s Tip For Picking the Perfect Perfume
Looking for love?
When you want to emphasize your romantic side, lean towards soft florals accented with musk. Rose, violet, musk and heliotrope all have a nice sense of romance without being too strong.
Tapping into your inner tomboy?
Vibrant citrus notes like grapefruit and mandarin feel very sporty and fresh!
Feeling one with Mother Earth?
To release your inner Earth goddess, choose a fragrance with green floral notes contrasted with rich woods. Green floral, herbaceous and patchouli all have a very bohemian, earthy feeling.
Big day at work ahead?
For the career-minded woman, sheer fruity florals are best. Lean towards aromas that are not so overwhelming, especially if you’re working in close quarters with co-workers!
Think the sidewalk’s a catwalk?
If you are a Fashionista, pick a statement making fragrance that really stands out as much as you do! Stick to a fragrance that is as strong as your spirit and has a true signature.
Looking to caress your creative side?When I’m feeling creative, I love to wear fragrances that exaggerate raw materials like orris or oud wood. They are incredibly unique scents that give a sense of creativity and originality.
