Chanel, Dior, Chloé, Atelier Cologne: 4 favourite perfumes to choose from as your ‘signature scent’

There’s nothing more personal than choosing your own scent. A scent lingers in the room after you’ve gone, a little fragrant memento for the room to remember you by.

Because of this, deciding on your own “signature scent” often feels like a heavy burden. You don’t want something trendy that becomes snidely known as grandma’s scent a few decades down the line.

But the decision shouldn’t be so hard that it becomes paralysing. Perfumes are a fun way of self-expression, and if you stop liking one, you can always switch to another.
