Ready to find your new signature scent at Laneway? Here’s an easy guide to help you select a scent that makes you feel like the best version of yourself:

• Know yourself: What kind of vibes do you go for? Fresh and citrusy? Warm and spicy? Take a peek at your favourite candles, skincare, bodycare, or laundry detergents. These might hint at your natural scent preferences.
• Listen to your body: How a fragrance smells on you depends on your unique body chemistry. Oilier skin can hold onto scents longer, while drier skin might need a stronger fragrance.
• Think about the season: Lighter scents like citrus or florals work well in spring and summer. Heavier scents like orientals or vanillas come alive in fall and winter.

Embrace your mood: Feeling energetic? Go for a citrusy pick-me-up. Feeling cosy? Snuggle up with a warm vanilla scent. Let your fragrance reflect how you're feeling.

Floral? Citrusy? These are the usual terms used to describe a fragrance, and understanding them is crucial to choosing the perfect scent. If these fragrance terms still confuse you, here’s a quick guide to the main fragrance families:

• Floral: The classic choice. Think roses, lilies, jasmine – all the classic flower shop vibes. Floral scents can be sweet, fresh, or romantic, depending on the specific flower.
• Fresh: Fragrances in this family are light and invigorating. Think citrus fruits, cucumber, and clean linen. They are great for everyday wear or hot summer days.
• Woody: These scents evoke the outdoors, bringing in smells of fresh-cut wood and forest aromas. Common notes include sandalwood and cedar. They’re often found in men’s fragrances but can smell amazing on everyone.
• Oriental: Warm and mysterious, orientals often have spicy notes like cinnamon, cloves, and amber. They can also be sweet with vanilla or resinous with incense. Perfect for a night out or when you want to feel sophisticated.
