How to smell like an actual angel

Everyday! And how to make the scents you choose last all day. I thought I would make a little personality quiz and share my favourite fragrances and fragrance tips at the same time! This is for those people who like me are always ordering Lush Comforter wax melts because they are insane – and oh man, the Snow Fairy ones! – and always head for the candle section or scented fabric softener departments in shops haha.

Perfumes always end up incredibly pricey so I have shopped hard to find adorable perfumes that will make you smell incredible and are a bit kinder on your purse, some even have £35 knocked off the original price! Many of them are US links so I will pop the UK versions below!

I think you can have sooo much fun with fragrance, a good one can really uplift you and make the perfect impression on those around you, it can act as a little extension of yourself and help you to create the person you want to be. It can make a huge impact and give you a massive confidence boost! Scroll down to smell like an angel and find your angel scent family… I hope you enjoy and find a lovely new scent to wrap yourself in!

Answered mostly ‘A’shere is how to smell like sugar – you love a good vanilla or sensual scent, your tastes are quite simple, classic and refined but any muted, milky, fresh, yet creamy fragrance makes you weak at the knees. You adore the silk sweet innocence of vanilla and its simple elegance, you love bubble baths, the feel of fabrics and the cool side of the pillow.

How to wear perfume – you adore sweet and fresh smelling fabrics, so try tossing a paper towel sheet, with few drops of ‘Daisy eau so sweet’ on it, in with your towels in the drier. I popped the dreamy Laura Mercier creme brulee hand cream in there, you can also purchase the incredible creme brulee fragrance or the almond milk fragrance at £40, or the body butters at £30 but the hand cream is only £14 and the perfect way to wear a bit of luxury and smell like sugar all day long. There’s no rule to save it for the hands, massage all over the body if you prefer and get silky soft skin at the same time, win win! I am 100% sold on this, I can’t wait to smell like creme brulee all day…

Answered mostly ‘B’s here is how to smell like fresh blooms, lavender and rose – you adore a floral based fragrance, a blend of lush blooms, a sophisticated and romantic scent like Miss Dior. You are a romantic at heart and easily get caught up in the moment, instantly succumb to broderie dresses online. You can’t help feeling like you have chanced upon them for a reason. You are often found planning your next trip to Paris and you love an impressive bottle to decorate your dresser.

Answered mostly ‘C’s here is how to smell like marshmallow – a lover of sweet, candied and food related scents, your favourite part of baking is the smell of things cooking, and eating them! Your clothes are soft and cloud like, you have a childlike view of the world and see the fun in everything. You love a sheer garment, a tulle midi skirt and a young, candied and fun scent to go with it!

How to wear perfume – A really fun and amazing way to keep your fragrance topped up all day is to use a hair mist or hair perfume, this way you can distribute fragrance with every hair flick and possess sweet smelling locks. I have popped in the gorgeous scented hair mist ‘Sweet Like Candy’ by Ariana Grande, fans of gourmet scents will love this and it’s not overly sweet at the same time.

Answered mostly ‘D’s here is how to smell glamorous – your scents are elegant, sophisticated and grown up, you adore perfume, standing out and everything chic. You also love the base notes of a fragrance, where the top notes have faded away. You love the smells of the city and the pretty sights and feels, you wish you could collect them all and save them to look at later. You feel at peace at night time and love a mysterious fragrance to accord with your textured cool toned outfits. You love a sophisticated scent, sometimes with a fresh and clean edge. Like the smell of rain at night.

How to wear perfume – you love a standout scent, so for extra impact and to make a statement definitely try applying a lotion (it can be a matching scent or an unscented lotion) before applying the fragrance. It will intensify the scent and ensure it lasts for longer, as wet skin retains fragrance for longer. Try opting for unisex fragrances like Tom Ford’s Ombre Leather for an extra smoky, masculine feel and line your dresser drawers with tissue paper and spray them very lightly with your favourite scent to make your clothes, towels and garments smell amazing.

Answered mostly ‘E’s here is how to smell like watermelon – you adore a fruity scent, something fruity, juicy and quirky, you wouldn’t mind smelling like raspberry ice tea all day. You are easy going and easily pleased and adore a good morning routine. Sunlight energises you, you love the smell of the sun warming everything, being carefree and laughing with family and friends.

How to wear perfume – fruity scents can be quick to fade, or lose their vibrancy, especially those first juicy notes that hit you whenever you first apply. Try applying vaseline on your pulse points before the fragrance, it will help to make the top notes last longer. The Pure Seduction scent by Victoria’s Secret is also an amazing fruity watermelon like scent, it’s so rich, juicy and fruity.

Answered mostly ‘F’s here is how to smell like cocoa  – you love to feel cosy and snug and your fragrances to reflect that. Think cocoa, brown sugar, smelling edible like chocolate, goes perfectly with your scarf and beret combo. You love a good body butter you can pull over your body like the best pair of fluffy socks and you’re always on the lookout for a scent that will give you the cosy feels.

How to wear perfume – you love a really rich, cosy, gorgeous scent with maybe just the right amount of sultry and burnt caramel. Try these out for size to smell like all kinds of delicious!

What did yours come out as? I really want to know haha!

    I love this post so much, it’s an absolute classic! I definitely love my florals, but I’m obsessed with Tom Ford and he has broadened my palate to include ‘amber’ and more masculine scents.
