Posted Tuesday May 15, 2012 11:32 AM GMT

Whether it’s to command the attention of an entire room or steal the sniffer of a certain someone, we all want to possess a sexy and alluring signature scent that turns head and arouses the crowds.

This particular fragrance should possess the power to bring forth every admirable and unmistakable aspect of your personality, making each and every one of them that much more intriguing.

However, if you don’t know what specific things to be looking for while on the hunt for the mother of all perfumes, your search will be extremely difficult and could lose you lots of moolah in the meantime.

Take note: you should look for one that compliments your personal chemistry, which is why we suggest searching for one based on your personality. So, to lend you a hand in the fragrance department, we’ve put together a list of what exact things to look for when purchasing that special signature scent.

If you’re….
Flirty & Playful: You are a true girl’s girl who loves pink, cosmos, and manis and pedis. Confident and always the center of attention, you possess a certain charisma that pulls people in your direction, charming them with your genuinely sweet personality. Our advice to you? Stick to floral-like fragrances. Spring for those infused with roses, peonies, jasmine, berries, orchid and freesia with hints of vanilla and amber. Try Clinique Happy in Bloom or Preppy Princess by Vera Wang.

Laid-back and Uber-cool: You are the go-to fun girl in your group of friends. Always cracking jokes and continuously looking for a good time, your love for life and upbeat attitude make you someone people can’t wait to be around. Because of your super chill persona, we suggest you stick to scents that are just as fresh as you are. Look for light, crisp fragrances with bases of citrus, mandarin or grapefruit with subtle hints of a sexy musk. Try High Line Perfume by Bond No. 9 or Jil Sander ‘Eve’.

Seductive & Mysterious: You possess the ability to break a man’s heart simply with your gaze. Sexy and alluring, yet sophisticated and refined you possess an air of sensual mystery that has you turning heads wherever you go. To make the guys’ hearts leap a little more (as if it were even possible) try wearing provocative scents that possess amber, sandalwood and heavy hints of musk. Try Jimmy Choo Eau de Toilette or Versace Yellow Diamond.

Boho-Beauty: Earthy and a true natural beauty, your free-spirited personality is both contagious and refreshing! You are a compassionate flower child who possess a strong love for those around you and exude a passion for all things important in your life – big or small! You possess a style all your own and are proud of it! For you, we suggest springing for the warm, earthy fragrances that have woody hints of bergamot, oak, orange blossom, patchouli, cedar and a flirty musk to offset the heavy base scents. Try Donna Karan Cashmere Mist or Les Exclusifs 'Sycomore' from Chanel.
