These Are The Perfect Perfumes For Your Personality

If you’re looking for a new fragrance but not sure where to start, look no further than at yourself. Perfumes can kinda be like pets, with their own personality that complements you. That’s why it makes total scents (we had to!) to pair your personality with your perfume. Here, the new and staple fragrances we’re loving, paired with the key parts of your personality.

If you’re… QUIET AND CONSIDERED

Not speaking much says way more than streams of uninterrupted speech. You think before speaking, making whatever comes up that much more meaningful. Powdery notes reflect your peaceful essence; mellow notes bring that substance you’re all about.

Jo Malone English Pear & Freesia, Cologne R1100 for 30ml

The juicy pear notes are mellowed with a touch of amber and warm woods. It’s the crisp white shirt of fragrances – understated, easy to wear and timelessly chic.

With notes of lemon, jasmine, vetiver and cedar. The suits-all scent will take you from country walks to a cosy evening supper.

If you’re… BUBBLY AND SWEET
