Trouble Finding A Perfume? Match a scent to your personality!
Find a scent that symbolizes you
Having trouble finding a perfume or scent? Find a scent that fits your personality and go from there! Don't know which scent correlates to which characteristic trait? No worries! We are here to help!
When it comes to the notes used in perfumes and/or body sprays, there are specific scents that inspire certain moods. Different notes engage different emotions and responses in people. For example, when you smell essential oils like lavender or eucalyptus, you usually feel relaxed and calm. When you smell citrus notes, you are more prone to feel energized and awake. You can match a scent to your overall persona, or you can purchase various perfumes and sprays to juggle between the persona you want to emanate for the day/night.
So where do you begin? We'll show you!
For The Romantics:
Are you the daydreamer? Own more classic romance novels than you can count? Live for those romantic comedies? Do you LOVE love? Or do you simply want to touch the senses of those around you with the feeling of love and romance? Well, then you need to be looking for notes like delicate rose, alluring jasmine, warm vanilla, and crisp musk.
The rose is depicted as the most romantic flower in existence collectively around the world. We use it for Valentine's Day, anniversaries, include it in our wedding bouquets, and toss its peddles in any setting to bring about the spirit of romance. Not surprisingly, the rose scent therefore emulates this symbolization of love and romance. Look for rose or florals in your perfume if you want to emulate these passionate emotions. Wearing perfumes with rose is like keeping a rose quartz crystal on you (hello, all of our crystal fanatics out there!), except you literally wear it on your beautiful skin.

Another amazing floral scent to radiate love and romance is the jasmine flower. The jasmine scent isn't only romantic, but it's also calming. What a better scent than one that exudes both love and tranquility? Jasmine is also a very sweet scent, so hello, sweet and calm love! The For Habibi blog has named this beautiful scent "the fragrance obsession of almost every woman."
Vanilla is a very popular scent that brings a sense of warmth and comfort, along with a hint of romance. The Perfume Society basically calls it "magic" in this blog post. When vanilla is added to any perfume, it adds a sense of home and snugness. If you're that romantic that loves cuddling up with a good romance book (or your partner) next to a warm fireplace, this note was literally created for you!
Musk may sound masculine in nature, but it's an earthy and invigorating scent that gets people to turn their heads once they get a whiff! It's highly unique, and it is used to enhance fragrance palettes. So take any floral notes, add a bit of musk, and you get the most captivating and passionate aroma! If you're a romantic firecracker, this is your scent! Learn more about the musk scent via the Well+Good blog HERE.
Now, we wouldn't tease you with all ofthese beautiful romantic scents without giving you an amazing recommendation from our own shop! We carry a truly fairy-tale like brand called, Harvey Prince Organics. All Harvey Prince Organics perfumes are made with organic-certified and clean ingredients, not to mention they smell ENCHANTING! For the romantics, we carry the Harvey Prince Organics Baciami Fragrance Spray. This beautiful fragrance is named after the Italian word for kiss, which is "baciami." The Baciami Fragrance can be described as dazzling, romantic, and radiant. It includes notes of jasmine, vanilla, and musk, so you can imagine how captivating and enchanting it smells! In addition to these tantalizing notes, Baciami also includes lemon to truly awaken and invigorate the senses - a true romantic's signature fragrance!
For The Mysterious:
Are you that mysterious person that seems to always attract people with your charm? The person that others flock to out of pure curiosity? The enchanting Queen with a mystical personality? Or is this simply who you would like to emulate? Either way, we're here for it! The best scents to mystify those around you, would also be the most exotic scents available in the market. Scents that are hard-to-find and unique in their own psyche. This would include scents like sandalwood, bergamot, and exotic florals (think roses and florals found in the captivating Middle East or the aristocratic Eastern hemisphere). Fragrances that are heavy and plush. That would enchant any passerby. Think eccentric and eclectic!
Now, sandalwood may not sound very exotic or myserteous, but it is! And the scent has the most intriguing origin story! Sandalwood has been a cherished scent since ancient times. It's found in Asia and the South Pacific. And, it's the second most expensive wood in the world for its rarity. Sandalwood was actually first discovered in India about 4,000 years ago and remains a sacred and protected tree that Hindus believe brings you closer to the divine. What an epic backstory behind such a lovely scent! Learn more of sandalwood's back story HERE. As for sandalwood's scent, think deep, woody, floral, rich, soft, and sweet. Sandalwood also aids lengthening the longevity of the actual perfume/cologne its used in. No wonder you can find it in some of the most iconic fragrances in the market, like Chanel N°5 and Tom Ford Santal Blush!
Bergamot is a very interesting fragrance ingredient. Bergamot actually looks like a lime, but is an inedible, bitter orange. And, for a fruit you can't even eat, the scent is surprisingly very zesty and awakening! It's sour, yet sweet. Citrusy, yet floral. This contradicting, yet electrifying personality is why bergamot creates the perfect foundation of mystery! If you want to learn more about bergamot, check out this Clive Christian blog post.
Exotic florals are a significant element in mysterious perfume concoctions. Roses and jasmine flowers are beautiful scents that draw attention via charm alone. What's better are these same exact florals, but from distant and distinct parts of the world. Moroccan rose is a beautiful and vibrant pink flower whose scent lasts much longer than its Western and commercialized counterpart. The Moroccan rose scent is also subtle and light - not too sweet, but just perfect. What a perfect companion for a first date! Another mystical scent comes from the Japanese orange blossom, whose aroma has been described as "bewitching" by the likes of The Perfume Society. The Japanese orange blossom scent is also interpreted within a large palette of notes, sometimes coming off as floral, and other times as a clean, fresh scent. Being neither one or the other, but both at the same time - now, that's a true mystery!
So, does Amara's Enchanted Forest carry a mysterious and enchanting perfume for you? Yes, we do! We have Harvey Prince Organic's Sincerely Fragrance Spray - "the scent that transports you." Its style is to awaken and transform, and it includes ingredients that bring an allure of mystery. Australian sandalwood, Moroccan rose, and Japanese orange blossom are just some of its global and unique ingredients. Wear this fragrance when you want to emulate mystery, but with a sense of bold vibrancy!
For The Sweet and Soft:
Now, this is for all of our sweethearts. Our sweet and compassionate Queens that should smell as sugary as their personalities! You need a fragrance that doesn't only mimic your darling charm, but also captures your soft and light-hearted aura. Scents that characterize and emulate these beautiful qualities are
fruity aromas, sweet florals, and citrus notes.
What's more sweet than Mother Earth's natural sugar supply? Fruity notes add "modernity, originality, delicacy, and freshness" to a fragrance concoction, according to Sillages Paris, a prominent fragrance blog. By adding fruit scents, you add a sense of light and innocence, along with the aura of playfulness. You keep it super sweet, yet soft. Some of the most enchanting fruity scents used in perfumes are apple, peach, pomegranate, coconut, and mango. Apple for that tart, crisp, and sweet sensation. Peach and pomegranate for that delightful sweetness. Coconut for tropical and beachy vibes. And the king of fruit, the mango, for a punchy and sweet surprise!
Sweet florals are also an amazing addition to create a sweeter fragrance. Some might even say that florals are the heart of sweet perfumes! These florals would include the jasmine flower, tuberose, and ylang ylang. Jasmine flower, as you can tell from this blog post, is a popular scent to add to almost any type of fragrance spray, so what's its role in a sweet perfumes? Jasmine's general scent is intensely sweet and stimulating, making it an amazing base for sweet
fragrance designs. The affects of smelling jasmine flower can be quite rejuvenating and stimulating. Tuberose is another very intense sweet floral scent that demands attention, yet can be softened by other notes to fabricate a very sweet and soft fragrance. Ylang ylang is a rarity in that it provides both fruity and floral aromas. This beautiful floral is used to brighten up and freshen up any floral composition. What gorgeous floral aromas to adorn on your daily adventures?!
Citrus notes also add for a very sweet impact in fragrances. You're probably asking, "Aren't citrus scents considered fruity notes? Since they're...well, fruits?" In the world of fruit and produce, yes. But in the world of fragrance, artisans differentiate citrus notes separately from fruity notes due to the fact that citrusy scents have a completely individualized aromatic effect to our senses. Citrus scents are more energizing than they are sweet, but they're the perfect addition to sweet fragrances as they create for a very invigorating impact. Imagine your favorite sweet florals or fruity scents, BUT with a jolt of vibrant personality! You have your soft and sweet aroma, but with a bold sense of vibrancy. Heads WILL TURN with a simple whiff!
So what does Amara's Enchanted Forest have for you sweet and soft Queens with a heart of gold? Harvey Prince Organics Whisper Fragrance Spray is a gorgeous sweet and enchanting scent that is also quiet romantic and alluring. Whisper is "seductively soft and surprisingly sensual." It's also characterized as "magically delicious and sweet" with notes of pomegranate, mango (hell, king of fruit!), citrus, jasmine, tuberose, and ylang ylang - literally, all the best sweet notes jam packed in a bottle!
Whisper is vividly sweet, yet still subtle and captivating to the senses. Take us away with a
Whisper!
And, For The Vibrant Rays Of Sunshine:
Now, for our lively and spirited Queens, we need something as magical as your energetic touch! For the happy-go-lucky people that want to smell as fun and bold as their vibrant and positive personas, we have to think energizing and joyous! What better combination than a lot of citrus with summer florals?! Yes, yes, yes!
We've discussed citrus notes above, but let's dive a bit deeper because now we're talking integrating various different types of citrus scents! Lemon, grapefruit, and mandarin are gorgeous, awakening and lively scents that bring forth smiles, sunshine, rainbows, and anything else that relates to magical delightfulness! The lemon scent is energizing and tangy. According to Carrement Belle's The Scented Notebook blog, the lemon is also considered a "rising note," which means it's going to increase in contact with other ingredients - a powerhouse citrus scent! The grapefruit is noted as being refreshing, yet alluring. So if you're looking to give that crisp, fresh, sweet, yet fun aura, find a fragrance with red or pink grapefruit. And, if you're looking for something more subtle, yet still tantalizing and awakening, think mandarin oranges. The mandarin, according to The Perfume Society is the "most user-friendly of citrus ingredients." Apparently, mandarin isn't too in-your-face, but it is still a happy-making scent - also known as, "the citrus scent to cheer!"
When you think of the summer season, you think sun, sunshine, and gorgeous plant and flower life. Summer flowers are the most exquisite when it comes to floral aromas. And, they're also the most invigorating. Even if it's not summer time, and you're a vivacious and outgoing Queen, you can still bestow your beautiful and bright energy among the people by dousing yourself in fragrances rich in summer floral notes. Some of the industry's favorites are summer forsythia, pink plumeria, and wild verbena. Summer forsythia originated on the hillsides of Korea and is a bright and sunny, yellow flower. The fragrance can be described as a potent floral with strong hints of honey. Hello, bold and sweet! Pink plumeria is known as "the scent of paradise." It's a tropical flower that obviously has floral notes, but also smells sweet and fruity. Wild verbena, on the other hand, is a floral scent that also smells citrusy. Some very interesting and unique summer florals, wouldn't you say? And just look at the colors of this tropical pink plumeria!
So, what does Amara's Enchanted Forest have in store for the vibrant and positive Queen? Don't worry, we saved the best for last! Harvey Prince Organics' signature scent is their vivacious, sunshine-in-a-bottle, Hello Fragrance Spray. Imagine all of the above mentioned citrus notes and summer florals jam-packed in the most beautiful fragrance mixture said to bring smiles on even the most saddest of faces!

You seriously have to smell this magical concoction yourself to believe it. Simply one-of-a-kind!
