Your personal perfume guide to matching your outfit

Some women only have eyes for one fragrance, but we love the idea of having an entire fragrance wardrobe to mix and match depending on what mood strikes you...or what you're wearing that day. Take your cues from your closet and discover our style-matched favourites.

Pretty and feminine

White floral scents are perfect for when you want to feel your most ladylike. 
Look for garden bloom notes of orange blossom, ylang ylang, jasmine and tuberose with elements of musk or sandalwood for added creaminess.
 

Fragrances to try: CHANEL Gabrielle EDP; Gucci Bloom EDP; AERIN Tuberose Le Jour EDP; Kate Spade New York Live Colorfully EDP

Sophisticated cool

If you’re into a cool vibe but still want to keep it feminine, these sweet scents blend tangy fruit notes with soft florals for a feel that’s all style.

Corporate chic

Clean scents are the ideal workday signature. Look for green and 
citrus notes for instant freshness, or opt for powdery notes for that just-out-of-the-shower feel. Perfect for a woman under pressure.

add shimmering black and the evening is yours.
