"This has been my signature scent for going on 16 years. I wear it every day (even if I don't leave the house) and it's such a part of me that my kids ask me to spray it on their pillows when I'm going to be away for work. When I first glommed on to it, the MACARENA was all the rage. Now THAT is a long time to be faithful to a fragrance." -- Audrey Fine, Special Projects Editor
"If I have to choose just one, this would be it. It's very fresh and clean, Philosophy (accurately) describes it as a soap and water scent, and my husband loves it. It basically smells like you've just stepped out of the shower after using awesome bath products -- which comes in handy after a long day of work when I have somewhere to go. Coincidentally, it also smells like the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas, which sounds like a bad thing but I swear it's not." -- Sarah Carrillo, Senior Editor
You know how you can be walking though a department store beauty area, catch a quick whiff of a fragrance, and are instantly transported back to a specific time and place? How the subtle notes of a certain perfume you wore in college, on a summer vacation, or better yet, when you were falling in love, can flood your senses with flowery memories?
That perfume, ladies, the one you just love to smell over and over again, is what we call a signature scent. It's basically a fragrance that you have undying love for -- a classic beauty staple in your life that represents an important stage or just continues to speak to you. Perhaps it's even a recent perfume purchase whose scent you feel best represents the person you are or long to be.
We all have one right? Right. Well, we thought it would be fun to share ours. Working in the beauty biz, and just as beauty enthusiasts in general, we've collectively smelled a lot of fragrances over the years, but only some have become our signature scents. Check out which perfumes made the list of our all-time favorites, and make sure to tell us which scent has defined your life in the comments section below.
