Fragrance – Okay, my signature scent for 2019 is Jo Malone’s Myrrh & Tonka Intense Cologne (Jo Malone haul/unboxing post here). I found this fragrance when I was shopping in Macy’s and there was a display that had several black bottles of this Jo Malone product. As soon as I sprayed myself with this cologne, it was love, and I purchased it on the spot. It was that easy for me to find my signature scent. Now let me help you.

Below I’ve listed 5 ways to help you discover your signature scent for 2019.

1. COLLECT SAMPLES – Okay, I know you can buy sample bottles of perfumes from different stores, but I don’t. I participate in a rewards program from Sephora, that’s why I shop from there so much, and with every online purchase I get 2 free samples (it used to be 3). So every time I make a purchase I get to pick 2 free samples, and you guessed it, I always pick the fragrance samples. Why? With these little bottles you get any where between 10 to 20 spritzes of product, that’s at least several occasions to wear the fragrance and decide whether you want to splurge for the full bottle. Nordstroms also gives free samples with online purchases, I encourage you to shop online more and benefit from the free samples. Also, whether it be Ulta, Sephora, or your local store, try to join a rewards program, because that’s where you’re more likely to get free samples as well.

2. Visit Your Local Store – That’s right, get off the couch, and walk in to your local Sephora, Ulta, Macy’s, or Nordstrom’s and spritz away. Talk to the employees, ask them for advice or recommendations, I’m sure they’re eager to be of assistance. Go often and try a different scent every time you visit. This is the cheapest method, because it’s free. It’s also a great way to discover new fragrances that just arrived in the stores.

3. SOCIAL MEDIA –  Seriously, beauty bloggers/vloggers review everything and the majority of them really do give their honest, unbiased opinions and they are super informative. Consider which fragrance you’d like to purchase and watch some Youtube videos about that fragrance, read some blogs, or research that fragrance online and read some ratings by satisfied/unsatisfied customers. Especially on Sephora’s website, some of their customers don’t hold back and they are brutally honest.

Also, don’t forget about Instagram and Pinterest. These are both fantastic ways to discover new fragrances.

4. CELEBRITY SCENT – Pick a celebrity: JLo, Britney, Madonna, Kim K, Paris Hilton, etc. Who do you wanna smell like? One of the first and only celebrity fragrances I’ve ever used was White Diamonds by Elizabeth Taylor (a gift from my dad), and I believe she was one of the first celebrities to have a huge success in the fragrance world. Btw, I’ve never purchased a celebrity fragrance, too gimmicky IMO. But, Britney and Paris and JLo have successfully made millions in this industry, so they must be doing something right. Give this a shot, you might find your signature scent!

5. ASK AROUND – Have a friend or co-worker that always smells nice? Ask them what scent they use. Ask family members if they’ve tried any new fragrances. Have you been in a public setting and someone next to you smelled good? Well, in a non-creepy way, compliment them on their scent and ask them what brand of fragrance they are wearing, you never know, you might make a new friend.

If you’re on a mission to find ‘Your’ unique, signature scent for 2019, follow the 5 tips I’ve listed above. Then, in the comments section below, come back and let me know which fragrance you’re gonna be rocking!

Have a beautiful day!
