Not everyone can wear a certain fragrances and leave an impact on the world. Think of a Lovely Lace boutique, or a hotel lobby, or that one person that you just can’t get the smell of them out of your head. Everyone—or anything—has its own signature scent. According to fame perfume, Frederick Melle who explained the concept of signature scents the best, ‘’When an odour passes through the upper part of the nose and onto the brain’s olfactory bulb, the smell is interpreted—almost like a puzzle pieces—by the brain.’’ He ain’t wrong.

So, how can one find the ultimate signature scent? The first step is to familiarise yourself with the scent of your choice. Make sure to narrow down closely what type of scent that you prefer. Or suits you the best. The one that will introduce you to a stranger before you could even open your mouth.
