      I've had a few but sometimes they are discontinued and sometimes they stop working with my body chemistry. Chanel no. 19 parfum was wonderful but then they changed the formulation.
      :( Right now I'm oscillating between Guerlain's Insolence eau de toilette & Mugler Aura eau sensuelle, which is now sadly discontinued and becoming hard to find.

      I’m still searching, but for the past couple of years of been wearing Penhaligons Bluebell. Apparently this was also a favourite of the late Princess Diana. My favourite flower is the violet, and Id love to find a violet fragrance, but haven’t found one yet.

    When I was a kid I had a perfume making kit and I made the most amazing rose perfume. I had spent YEARS looking for something even remotely similar but I never found anything so I eventually gave up... Come last week I was exploring some shops I had wanted to look at and I found Maison Louis Marie Antidris Cassis perfume. I had to smell it a few times but I kid you not it smells EXACTLY like the perfume I had made so long ago. The perfume is light and perfectly rosy without being overpowering. It is such a nostalgic sent for me and just makes me so refreshed, calm and happy.

    Chanel Beige. I smelled it in Bergdorfs in New York when I was 21, and fell head over heels. It’s soft and lightly floral and subtle and even though all these words seem “basic” it still feels special. I couldn’t stop sniffing my wrist for as long as it lasted! I definitely couldn’t have afforded it at the time, and was sad when I learned it was a limited run. I searched for it on and off for 14 years (!!) before finding it was re-released. I bought it and it took me back to such a special time in life. I love wearing it!!

    I honestly didn’t think my signature scent would still be my signature scent. I was 19 and at a random house party. A girl walked through the hall and I followed her through the crowd. She had the bottle on her (of course as one does at 19) and spritzed me. I woke up the next morning with it still on me and I still love it to this day and it just reminds me of youth. It’s Burberry Classic Women and I will cry if it is ever discontinued.

    I have a summer scent and a winter scent. Jo Malone's Mimosa & Cardamom for summer, and her Dark Amber & Ginger Lily for winter. I went through a phase with Tom Ford Black Orchid and Hermes, and to this day, the Hermes Un Jardin en Méditerranée reminds me of my wedding day.

    My signature scent was always what my husband bought me for birthday or anniversary, until I used it up lol. I recently started using La Vie a Bella after sticking a sample card in my purse and loving it every time I opened my purse. I didn't know it was "common" but it suits me.

    My mother has always had a signature scent. As a teen into my 20's it was Ralph Lauren in the red bottle all winter and New West the rest of the year. I was taught, season and day and evening. I now have three. Also, I change every 10 years or so.

    * For signature/everyday/office/skin scent I wear L'artisan's Tea for Two layered with Chasing Scents Tea Service. Smells exactly like a British colonial tea house! 🥰😁 I'm Anglo-Burmese/Eurasian so it really resonates with my family history.
    For hot days, I wear Kajal's Lamar, Memo Sintra, L'artisan's Histoires d'Oranges, Armani Prive Orangerie Venise or Penhaligons Cairo/Babylon, Indult Tihota or Frederic Malle's Cologne Bigarade, love my vanillas/citruses/fruits!
    * For nights, I wear Nishane Suede et Safran with Atelier des Ors Rouge Saray, or Frapin 1270/Speakeasy (more boozy leathers)
    * For cold weather, Halfeti Cedar, Nishane Karagoz, Spirit of Dubai's Turath, L'artisan Tenebrae or Francesca Bianchi Tyger Tyger, dark animalic, complex, dried fruit sweet, spicy and woodsy

    After wearing Chanel No.5 for 40 years as my daytime scent, I’ve decided to retire it, at least for a couple years. I change my fragrances seasonally and always have, and after experimenting with various classic scents plus a few new ones during the pandemic, I’ve come up with a few new ones. Right now, I’m using up the ones I won’t keep in the lineup-I wear perfume every single day so it goes quickly. I still mostly prefer French fragrances since so many American brands smell “cheap” to me. Chanel & Guerlain will always be favorites.

    I don't have any one signature scent but more like a signature set of favorite notes (jasmine, tuberose, rose, sandalwood, and aldehydes) that are a common thread in most of the fragrances I have loved over the years.
    ETA: My fragrance souvenir from trip to Paris twelve years ago was a bell jar of Serge Lutens Iris Silver Mist.

    I had used "Daisy Eau so Fresh" by Marc Jacobs for my entire 20s. Now that I am 31, I feel that I've outgrown it and was looking for new scents. I picked up three which I really like and try to switch in between to not get "fragrance-blind".
    It's "Acqua di Gioia" and "My Way" by Giorgio Armani and "Paradox" by Prada.

    Hi Audrey! So glad you brought up this topic. Fragrance is part of your overall Esthetic. It says something about who you are along with hair, clothes and makeup. As a recent “fraghead” perfume has taken me on a journey and taught me a lot about myself. If anyone is interested in learning more, I recommend “jus de rose”. She is ver knowledgeable and has a similar esthetic to Audrey, so very classy❤️🇨🇦

      I agree Josephine (Jus de Rose) is lovely. Over time, I realised that my tastes are slightly different from hers but I still follow her because her descriptions of scent profiles are detailed and she had studied perfumes to back this knowledge up.😊

    Love this Audrey. I currently separate my fragrances into winter and summer, but also into day and night. I find this a helpful division also. In addition to that, like you, I have at the moment a couple of signature scents, which are Dear Polly and Si. I just love Reflection by Amourage too but that’s a killer on the wallet 😩😩

    I'm incredibly picky with my scents. I think most scents are too overwhelming and absolutely not something I'd want to smell like. Sure, I had a few perfumes over the last years, but I almost never wore them because they weren't perfect. I liked them, but didn't love them.
    About a year ago I found a particular hair conditioner that made me addicted to its scent. It was so warm, so delicious, yet not cheap or too sweet. I was on a mission to seek a perfume similar to it. After a lot of googling, I found it in Lush Turmeric Latte. I never buy anything Lush and it was a blind buy, so quite a gamble for me.
    It's so good. It's warm, cozy, yet not boring or sickly. I now actually use it almost everyday with love and excitement. My sister yells at me every time she smells it on me, since she loves too. So happy to have found a scent that I absolutely love.

    • @gen_o

    I've spent years trying different perfumes simply because I love them! I curated a collection & now I'm down to 4 perfumes, all floral, 2 summery for warm months & 2 dark florals for colder months. One of my darker winter florals is discontinued so I will likely just keep the one "colder" scent.

    I've been using L'eau par Kenzo for over 15 years now. Having a very sharp sense of smell i found that adding perfume can be quite tricky for me as i often get headaches and don't get used to the scent but rather go the whole day feeling it. With this one i do not smell it at all from my skin as it sort of blends with my scent. I used to like Chnnel Chance Fraiche as an occasion wear in colder months, but after a couple of years i realized it doesn't work for me anymore. Loved the video, felt inspired to renew the search for something new that will be more suitable for colder months but still fresh and light.

I adore fragrances but you’re right - you need to try it on your skin. It’s not the same on the paper or from another person. I also agree with you, a weightier fragrance in winter with the woolly jumpers feels so cocooning and comforting. I’ll have to seek out the Penhaligons scent and give it a try! Thank you ☺️

    I am so grateful for this video! For many years my signature scent was the original Marc Jacobs EDP. It was discontinued several years ago and I have tried ever since to find something similar that I liked as well. I have probably purchased at least 20 scents that didn't work out. Finally, thanks to this video I've found it! After researching the scent notes of Moro Dabron Of Gardens I felt it had so much potential that I just went ahead and ordered it. It is my perfect scent. The white florals that I so love, neroli, jasmine and tuberose kept from being too sweet with the light touch of citrus from bergamot and, as you say, nicely grounded with just enough musk and sandalwood to add depth and longevity without overpowering the more delicate florals. I love it.Thanks so much.

      Omg, the original Marc Jacobs was my signature scent for so long! I haven't found anything like it! Do you think Of Gardens is a dupe? or it might be different but you're enjoying it as much as you'd enjoyed the origina MJ? I wish they would bring the original back. The Michael Kors which was out at the same time is still in stores, and I think MJ was the better fragrance. I even wore the men's MJ sometimes, as they gave me a small travel of it when I purchased my full bottle fo the ladies'...

    I love soft floral fragrances. On special occasions I wear Ginger Essence by Origins or Jessica McClintock. Daily, I wear Reve D’or by L.T. Paver, which I originally bought for the bottle, but fell in love with the scent. It’s soft and clean, plus no one else wears it so it still stands out. I’ve loved all of these perfumes longer than I haven’t! As an alternative, I might wear a single essential oil; usually geranium or lavender.

    I always find it interesting that compared to other creatures, human smell isn't anything crazy special, and yet, at least for me, it forms the base activation for so memories. I guess it's just how our scent works within our whole system hahaha. I still remember the scent in my grandparents' homes if I smell something similar or with a specific note, or certain people I meet, from just their exsistence around certain smells, like as not amazing as it is, my aunt and uncle smelling like a particular type of cigarette smoke.
    I still am on the search for at least just two scents I love, one for warm, and for cold weather. I think I struggle with describing what I love to people, I love woody/earthy things, but most of those scents have not been my jam at all. At the moment I tend to find sandalwood very nice and hmm actually not sure what it is, but it pops up in a lot of scents with "velvet" in it. Vetiver possibly? Which seems to be more common in scents for men. But I love your input on this, sometimes taking a step back and doing simple things like just trying everything you can is what does it!

And my autumn-winter collection is based on Dior Addict eau de perfume and Lune Feline by Atelier des ors,: oriental spices and some oud, are great for me during cold season.

    Just want to share my fragrance journey. For my 13th birthday, a friend of mine gifted me a fragrance mist called Coconut Passion from Victoria's Secret. I was young and it was the only perfume I had, so I wore it every day. Since then people have always and consistently complimented the way I smelled, and I've always gravitated toward vanilla scent notes. I've lost count of how many times I've rebought this fragrance. I've bought and tried other perfumes through the years, but they always felt off and never like myself. Same with candles and anything for the body, vanilla always just felt right.
    I liked what you said about our body chemistry. My friend had told me that she tried it before me and didn't like it, but she loved it on me. And even though it's a fragrance mist and not a perfume, it lasted and molded to my skin all day. I'm happy and lucky to have found my niche so early in life, being 24 now. 🥲
    Edit: I also noticed a developing nose blindedness to the fragrance mist, so I've collected other mists and perfumes to cycle through and keep my olfactory scences fresh. Vanille from Anthropologie is a warm perfume that's perfect for Fall/Winter. I also used to use Sweet Inspirations, discontinued from Zoella unfortunately, during Spring/Summer.

    I like having a lot (perhaps too many) of options 😅 I do have a few specific ones for rain (Citron d'Erable and Philtre Ceylan, both by Atelier Cologne, and a Margiela Replica's Coffee Break), though I don't have specific fragrances for other situations. I just go by how I'm feeling and what I'm wearing that day.
    I rarely blind buy perfume, so I've collected a lot of fragrance samples over the years, and I like exchanging them with my friends. It's a fun way to share something I love with people I love :)
    I definitely enjoy a fragrance as a souvenir; I did that recently when I visited a friend in New York, and now when I wear it I think of him and the funny things we encountered that day and it makes me smile. That one specifically was Squid by Zoology, it's very easy to wear while still being unique for a marine fragrance, and I think the color of the juice and the illustration on the bottle are gorgeous.

    • @gen_o

    I have a mother with COPD and so I am very sensitive about scents that hang around too much and clogs the nose if that makes sense. I wouldn't want other people to have issues breathing when I am wearing a scent. So my personal scent is By the Fireplace by Maison Margiela. When you smell a fragrance that makes your eyes roll back, you know you hit The One

    My signature scent used to be Lalique, but I find chemistry changes as we age and so what smelled great on us at one time changes. I love Versace Yellow Diamonds and Marc Jacobs Daisy in summer. The rest of the year I love Versace Bright Crystal. I’m also a fan of the rose scent.

    Since you’re a fan of rose based perfumes - you should try A La Rose by Maison Francoise Kurkidjan. It was my souvenir of a trip to Paris and I love wearing it in the spring. It’s a beautiful fragrance - very fresh and green while capturing the essence of a rose. 🌹

    I also buy perfume for souvenirs 😊. It makes the scent and the whole buying experience extra special. I love Buly 1803 - it’s alcohol free Audrey so that’s good if you’re sensitive to that and if you have asthma. Other rose 🌹 scents I also love and would recommend are: Matiere Premiere Radical Rose (rose-focused and very elegant) and Acqua di Parma Rose Nobile (mild for everyday wear). The Isnard Longo Mai is also nice if you happen to visit Grasse; they have a website but I’m not sure if they ship worldwide. The Portrait of a Lady is also a beautiful scent but I wouldn’t recommend it if you have asthma as even for me, I use it sparingly and spray it away from my nose and face. Aerin has lovely mostly floral fragrances - I’ve only sampled them but don’t own a full bottle. Always sample and try before you buy. 😊

    I'm currently wearing Love Don't be Shy By Kilian, which is a favorite, but for a few weeks I've been loving a new (to me) discovery: L'Interdit Rouge by Givenchy. You might enjoy Maison Lancome's Rose Peonia, which is lovely and a nicer version of Delina. I don't know if you've tried it, but I'd also recommend you check out Malle's Portrait of a Lady, which I love but might turn a bit weird on my skin... Also, Tom Ford's Rose D'Amalfi is a nice sophisticated rose. Both of those are edgier rose scents. Back to lovely rose scents, I also think Aerin's Rose de Grasse and Rose de Grasse Joyful Bloom are beautiful. I love talking about fragrances!

    There is this inexpensive perfume that many would say is for a young girl but I enjoy it. Pink Sugar is sweet, playful, youthful and for many probably would be too much candy like. But I like it because I feel happy and carefree. And then there is sexual, or Le Labo Santal 33, and Carolina Herrera Good Girl and I find those to be for when I feel I need to be mature and my age. So I use scents in how I feel. But right now I been using Delina Exclusif was given to me. And I actually love it alot. It last days and days. Strong but airy. Lingering rose scent.
