How to Choose a Signature Scent

A signature scent is not the fragrance you like most in a store. It is the one you still like after eight hours on your own skin. Fragrance changes as it wears — warmed by body heat, mixed with your own natural scent, worn down to its base notes. This is why testing on paper only gets you halfway. Spray on skin, wait, and return to it later in the day before deciding. Consider, too, where you will wear it. A scent built for a summer afternoon rarely works for a winter evening, and a fragrance designed to be noticed across a room may feel like too much for daily wear at a desk. If you are choosing between two or three, our Discovery Set exists for exactly this — enough of each to actually live with before you commit to a full bottle.
