A fragrance for my personality...

Hey guys,

I know theres a lot of threads on this forum along the lines of "What should I wear as my signature scent?" which is very difficult for others to answer as fragrances are very much personal taste and something which someone loves could be hated by another.

So opposed to asking what I should wear as a signature scent...I want to know what fragrance best suits my personality so here goes...

I am in my early 20's and I am currently a post-graduate student at university. I am generally laid back and relaxed but also sensible and pretty reliable. I am reasonably funny (or so i'm told) and sarcasm is a second language to me. I tend to be fairly quiet but I also have my moments where you can't shut me up. My style tends to be track bottoms/sweats with a t-shirt and hoodie when relaxing around the house and sometimes to uni...think along the lines of A&F/Hollister (I know...) although I prefer jeans and a shirt for evening occasions.

Anyway, thats me in a nutshell so what is "my signature scent"?

Thanks!

No one can tell you what your signature scent should be the best thing to do is sample as much fragrances as you can. And you will find you like some more than others and may find that ONE that you like above all others.

hello Mervin. (style gurus often turn people into frustrated fashion victims.)
just sample things, be patient, and you'll find the right fragrance regardless of people's advice or a trend for that matter. good luck!

Smart, younger, somewhat quiet, with an occasional "zing" --- Prada Infusion d'Homme comes to mind.

I'd say Givenchy Play. Try it out when you can and tell us what you think about it.

Many of them.

Bleu de Chanel, L'Instant de Guerlain Pour Homme sound right to me.

But really Mervin. Keep trying stuff and find what YOU like.

something laid back, and not too far "out there." sophisticated, and yet, contemporary. Never blind buy, but you should try these out.

-D&G The One
-YSL La Nuit
-Rocky Mountain Wood
-Vintage by Varvatos
-Givenchy Pi
-Hennae Mori
-Euphoria Intense
-Fresh Cannibus Santal

Rochas Man, since you say that you're a laid back, easy-going, young college guy.
