Typically speaking, we like to wear our perfume and not the other way around. Our perfumes need to reflect our personality, not give us one. But (truth bomb alert) marketing ploys often have us confusing one for another. In our generation, going off the ball with our scent selection could be as good as misleading our tinder dates. Yikes! And none of us wants to live to tell that tale. But find the right one, and half the battle’s won.
So, at the Beauty Book headquarters, we’re adamant to find you scents that brings out the best in you. Scroll to know the perfume that’ll work like hand in glove with your personality.
1. For the minimalist: Giorgio Armani Si Eau De Parfum
Armani has been shorthand for effortless luxury for decades, and this fragrance is no different. The juice is modern and airy, and though it blends heady ingredients like blackcurrant, rose, jasmine patchouli and amber, it doesn’t feel weighed down by them. It’s for a girl who likes her lines clean and her jewelry minimal.
2. The traditionalist: Estée Lauder Modern Muse Eau De Parfum
Modern Muse is a bouquet that will call out to the girl who loves the scent of temple flowers. That might seem quite a specific olfactory category, but since tuberose, lily, jasmine sambac and patchouli make up the heart of this divine floral, the comparison is inevitable. So, it’ll be perfect for someone who likes to perfectly balance the traditional with the modern.
3. For the Choo-obsessed: Carolina Herrera Good Girl Eau De Parfum
This fragrance was made for good girls who are in regular contact with their bad side. Voluptuous florals like jasmine and tuberose flirt with rich, deep ingredients like tonka beans and cocoa. And if the seriously mouthwatering juice wasn’t convincing enough, the stiletto-shaped bottle was made to be displayed on a fashion girl’s dresser.
4. For the avant-garde: Issey Miyake Pleats Please Eau De Toilette
There’s nothing traditional about this fragrance or its flacon. A product from the house of Japanese fashion designer Issey Miyake, the bottle is a playful take on the visionary creator’s love for pleats. The notes of pear, peony and indole—an ingredient which signifies the cycle of birth and death in perfumery—will catch the attention of the girl whose fashion mood board is full of Margiela.
5. For the sophisticate: Narciso Rodriguez Eau De Parfum
The girl who likes to spend her days watching Fellini and follows that up with nights in Jazz-age speakeasies will fall hard for this juice. A heady, enveloping musk that’s topped with gardenia and rose, and supported by white and black cedar, this is the perfect match for a woman of the world who enjoys every one of life’s earthly pleasures.
6. For the stand-out: Thierry Mugler Alien Eau De Parfum
Your idiosyncrasies are like no other that fit into no box you can imagine? You stand apart and distinct from the crowd, play to the beat of your own drum and travel through life following your inner compass. Enter this unique (and uniquely named) scent bursting with notes of jasmine, amber and cashmeran wood. Its silage and staying power are the stuff of legend, and it’s one of a kind, just like the women who wear it.
