Go with the flow
With such a wide array of scent profiles and fragrances, it is easy to be overwhelmed by the non-exhaustive list of fragrances that are available in the market. Start with what you already like and dislike, and do the elimination work from there.
If you find yourself put off or overwhelmed by vanilla or coconut, explore new avenues by venturing into light, citrusy scents, or the clean scent of laundry or cotton reminiscent of a sunny day out with a gentle breeze blowing.
Alternatively, you can tread on familiar ground and explore scents you like, and play around with different combinations to find your sweet spot. For example, the sweet juiciness of litchi in Chloe Eau de Parfum by Chloé beautifully complements the soft florals of peony to make a deliciously chic fragrance for the modern woman.
Explore new fragrances
Sometimes, exploring everything is the fastest way to discover the personal fragrance that best suits you. Head to the nearest mall, and get a whiff of fragrances, the more the merrier. Getting exposed to different combinations and fragrance notes allows you to find specific scents or notes that you may like prefer or avoid, which will put you on the right track to finding your personal fragrance.
If you find it too much of a hassle to head to the mall and spend hours sniffing fragrances or even committing to a large bottle that may not be the best fit for you, consider a fragrance exploration kit delivered to you that will allow you to sample fragrances without committing to a bottle, and save you the trouble of travelling to the mall.

Complement your chemistry
Picking your personal fragrance is not a one-size-fits-all deal in a day, as everyone’s skin oils and body chemistry interact differently with the oils in the fragrance. The best way to determine whether a fragrance is the one for you is by prolonged wear to see how its notes change through the day, which cannot be achieved with a sniff test at the mall.
The sniff test only gives you a glimpse into the top notes of the scent, which does not account for the middle or bottom notes that will appear after a while, and does not account for the longevity of a scent.
One excellent way to find your personal scent that melds perfectly with your body chemistry is by trying a fragrance subscription, which will unlock an array of scents that you can try without the nightmare of an unused perfume bottle on your vanity station.
