A Guide to Choosing the Best Fragrance to Suit Your Personality Type (and Giveaway)
There are very few of us, I suspect, that have ever watched an episode of Sex in the City without identifying with one of the four main characters at some point or other. (I myself swing between thinking I am Carrie or Samantha!)
Many of us may have already heard whisper that the characters of Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda and Samantha, represent each of the four personality types. What you may not know though, is that fragrances are also divided into four families; floral, fresh, woody and oriental, and knowing your personality type can help you buy the best fragrance to suit your personality. It is also a great way to help you decide on a fragrance for a friend or relative.
So, in all my infinite wisdom (huh hmm) I have devised this handy little guide so you can determine which fragrance suits you best.
You’re welcome!
