There are two major reasons everyone should have a signature fragrance (even if you occasionally stray from it): First, wearing one fragrance greatly simplifies getting dressed in the morning or for a night out, because you don\u2019t have to match your scent to your outfit or your mood.<\/p>\n

Second, the right scent can\u00a0attract women<\/a>. Finding your signature fragrance can be a bit of an art, but we\u2019re here to show you the ropes, so read on to learn all about how to find the scent that will become a part of your signature style.<\/p>\n

Know your fragrance family<\/strong><\/p>\n

It will be much easier to find the fragrance destined to become your signature if you develop an understanding of which scents appeal to you. The traditional classification system for fragrances includes florals (which are dominated by one or more flowers), amber fragrances (which are both sweet and exotic) and woody fragrances (which are typified by sandalwood and cedar notes).<\/p>\n

Honey and tobacco scents fall into the leather family, while bergamot and labdanum are found in the chypre category, and herbaceous fougere scents are composed using lavender, coumarone and oak moss. Modern fragrance families include citrus-based scents, aquatic scents (which are clean and unisex) and green scents (which are light and typified by notes like grass or cucumber).<\/p>\n

Let your personality guide your nose<\/strong><\/p>\n

Remember that the fragrance you settle on will represent you, so choosing a scent that reflects your personality is important.<\/p>\n

– If you have a determined nature coupled with a sophisticated yet mysterious allure, select a musky, amber-based scent.
\n– Charismatic guys who are always chasing their next adventure should invest in a woody concoction.
\n– Clean-cut, sporty types will feel most comfortable with a smell that\u2019s as energetic and enthusiastic as they are, so seek out fresh and invigorating citrus, green or aquatic fragrances and reapply them throughout the day for renewed vigor.
\n– If you tend towards the romantic side, try a fragrance with florals.
\n– Dominant, ambitious men who love being in control will send a powerful message with a heady fougere cologne.<\/p>\n

Work with your body chemistry<\/strong><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll likely have to take more than one trip to the cologne counter to find the fragrance that\u2019s right for you. And while we\u2019re not saying that making multiple visits to the mall all in the name of hunting down a fragrance won\u2019t be a bit of a tedious process, trust us that your effort will be worth it when you finally find the cologne that makes you\u00a0smell irresistible<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t sniff more than three scents in one session and put something woolly, like a scarf, close to your nose to inhale between smells so that you cleanse your nasal palette. In the end, the cologne that works best with your own natural\u00a0body odor<\/a>\u00a0is not the one that you\u2019re most attracted to right out of the bottle, but the one that still smells amazing after it\u2019s spent the better part of the day on your skin.<\/p>\n

Consider your schedule and geography<\/strong><\/p>\n

Use your lifestyle and the city you live in to help you figure out the intensity your fragrance should pack. If you\u2019re in close contact with colleagues on a regular basis, you\u2019ll want to avoid anything that others could find overpowering or chemically irritating. A night out at the bar, however, calls for a stronger\u00a0scent<\/a>. If you tend to go out several times a week, consider a day-to-night duo or a scent that can be built upon or layered. The climate you live in should also help you fine-tune your fragrance choice. Generally speaking, the higher the mercury and the humidity, the lighter your scent should be.<\/p>\n

Learn your combinations<\/strong><\/p>\n

One surefire way to create a truly unique scent is by becoming an amateur chemist and mixing fragrances. You\u2019ll have to play around quite a bit in the fragrance department, but try layering two different kinds of cologne, perhaps beginning with a sexy, musky scent first and following it with something sweeter. Ultimately, what you\u2019re looking for is a concoction that\u2019s better than either scent when worn solo. The best part of blending colognes is that doing so ensures that no one else will ever be wearing what you are.<\/p>\n

A second smell<\/strong><\/p>\n

By now, you know the most crucial considerations involved in finding a signature fragrance, but there\u2019s one more point worth mentioning: get a second opinion.<\/p>\n
