Fall and holiday are popular fragrance times for picking out a new scent and also fragrance line launches. We got some trend-spotting from perfumer Pierre-Constantin Gueros about how to select the right fragrances. According to Pierre-Constantin Gueros of drom Fragrances, “There’s a definite connection between personality and the aromas you’re drawn to.” Here are Pierre’s tips to finding a scent for your personality.
If you’re CONFIDENT:
This is the woman who wants to get noticed. She is sensual, confident, and has a strong personality. She uses her feminine charm to get what she wants. Pierre suggests a strong perfume for this type of woman, such as one with vanilla and patchouli. A CONFIDENT woman needs a crisp, bold scent with a touch of romance to balance her.
Some examples:

Donna Karan Red Delicious available at Sephora.com and many other stores
Thierry Mugler Eau De Star available at Nordstrom.com
Emporio Armani Diamonds fournd at Lord & Taylors.

If you’re CHIC:
This woman can be found at 1pm on a Sunday having brunch in NYC’s Greenwich Village. She is trendy and fun, edgy and addictive. She passionately follows all the fashion and beauty trends. The CHIC woman is urban and needs to wear a scent that helps her be more confident in her personal and professional life. Pierre suggests a new finding a fragrance that possibly has Lily of the Valley and Magnolia because these stay forever in good taste and in classical chic.
