Quiz: What Perfume Should I Wear? 2023 Trending Fragrances

This scent quiz analyzes your personality, taste, and budget to suggest what perfume you should wear. Let’s find new 2022 fragrances for you.

Find Your Signature Scent with a Quiz.

The following are 20 questions that identify which perfume, eau de toilette or eau de cologne, is best for you.

Ideally, you should wear a perfume with notes that match your style and represent your personality.

But finding that one combination of notes is challenging, which is why the fragrance quiz comes in handy. It helps you discover your signature smell with simple questions.

How to Know What Perfume to Wear?

Three factors could determine the type of fragrance you should wear: Your taste, purpose, and chemistry.

Taste.

Your preferences influence the type of scent you should get.

Are you a woody notes fan? Do you prefer light floral or oriental notes? Or would you rather have fresh ones?

Purpose.

It helps if you determine the why behind looking for a scent.

For many, wearing perfume is more than an attempt to smell good: It’s a fashion statement. It’s like asking, “What should I wear today?”

Know the purpose before getting the perfume.

Chemistry.

Identify your chemistry by determining if your skin is oily, dry, or normal because your skin type and hormones affect your scent.

No two persons smell the same with the exact fragrance. The reason is that the hormones on the skin affect the notes.

How to choose the right perfume for your body chemistry?

If your skin chemistry is oily, get light floral or citrus scents. If it’s dry, choose musky, wooden scents or headier floral and aromatic notes. But if your skin is normal (combination), you can wear all sorts of fragrances.

The fragrance wheel might seem confusing. However, you can choose the right scent by either following the trends, talking to the experts, or trying things on.

This Scent Quiz Considers 8 Factors to Identify Your Scent.

No other test is as accurate because they are interest-based. However, our test is based on the eight prominent factors everyone should consider when getting perfume.

Season & Occasion.

Your skin is warmer in the summertime, making the scents stronger. But it takes a while for the fragrances to hit in the winter. That’s why the quiz considers seasons.

The same is true for the occasions. Where you’re wearing the perfume to? Is it a sunny beach, a breezy street, or a warm, cozy house? The answer affects the test results.

Age & Sex.

Yes, age is just a number, and gender is subjective. But your definition of your age and sex could determine the scent you should wear.

Skin & Hormones.

Your skin type and body chemistry change the fragrances, which is why the quiz considers them.

Mood & Memories.

Your scent is a statement about your personality. Therefore, your mood and memories play a significant role in the perfume quiz.
