What Your Perfume Says About You (And What You Think It Says)
A brutally honest take on perfume personalities vs reality.
We all have that one signature scent, the one we spray on and suddenly feel like we’ve got our life together. But ever thought what your perfume is really saying about you or your personality? Spoiler alert: it might not be what you think.
Let’s break down some classic perfume personalities vs the hilarious (and occasionally embarrassing) reality behind them. No judgement, just vibes.
1. The Floral Dreamer
You think it says:
“I’m soft, romantic, and ready to be the main character in a slow-mo coffee shop love story.”
It actually says:
You’ve rewatched Pride & Prejudice 17 times, still believe in meet-cutes, and you definitely cried at an ad with a puppy in it. You’re sweet, but you’ve also got 99 Pinterest boards titled “aesthetic things.”
Best picks: French Essence Bloom, Charm
2. The Woody Brooder
You think it says:
“I’m mysterious. Deep. Probably journaling somewhere near a window.”
It actually says:
You watched Fight Club once and built your entire personality around it. You like brooding, but mostly because you can’t find your socks. You’re cool, though.
Try: French Essence Urban, Jazz
3. The Vanilla Babe
You think it says:
“I’m effortlessly sexy. I don’t chase, I attract.”
It actually says:
You 100% have a secret playlist named “Hot Girl Walking.” You’re confident, flirtatious, and probably send memes instead of real texts. We love that for you.
Try: French Essence Enchante
4. The Citrus Boss
You think it says:
“I’m productive, organized, and ready to slay my to-do list.”
It actually says:
You live off iced coffee and ambition. You smell fresh, but your life is low-key chaos. Google Calendar is your bestie, and your therapist knows your cat’s name.
Try: French Essence Recharge, Triumph
5. The Oud Royalty
You think it says:
“I’m high-class. I step into rooms, and people notice.”
It actually says:
You love drama, and not just the theatre kind. You’ve got designer taste and aren’t afraid to flaunt it. You’re intense, but in a “I light candles while manifesting at 3AM” way.
Try: French Essence Oud
6. The Aquatic Minimalist
You think it says:
“I’m clean, cool, and uncomplicated.”
It actually says:
You hate making plans but somehow everyone invites you anyway. You’re low maintenance, love a good linen shirt, and could live in the ‘vacay mode’ forever. Basically: we envy your chill.
Try: French Essence Bleu
So, what's the Verdict?
Perfume isn’t just about smelling good. It’s your invisible armor, your mood-lifter, your silent wingman. Whether you’re a citrus boss or an oud addict, your fragrance tells a story (even if it’s a little more chaotic than you intended).
The good news? With French Essence, you can switch up your story every day without breaking the bank.
