How to choose a perfume that suits you
From notes you already know to a small selection you can compare at your own pace.
Start with scents you enjoy
Think of specific scents: orange peel, lavender, wood or vanilla. You do not need to know the names of every accord. Choosing two or three notes helps narrow your search and explain what you are looking for.
Compare a few options
Save your candidates as favourites and compare their notes. The same note can appear in perfumes with different characters, so look at what accompanies it too. Our fragrance finder suggests matches based on the published information for each fragrance; it does not replace smelling the perfume.
Let the perfume develop
When you have the opportunity to try it, pay attention to the first impression and how it changes afterwards. Decide based on your experience wearing it. We cannot guarantee how long a perfume lasts based only on its family or a photograph.
Check the product page before deciding
Check the size, price, availability and ingredients in the official product information. If a detail is missing, ask the brand. An inspiration, a family or a photographed scene does not by itself describe the perfume's composition.
