Finding Your Signature Scent Through Personal Color

Fragrance recommendations based on personal color season types

Hello from My Shopper! Have you ever wanted a signature scent that truly represents you, but weren't sure what kind of fragrance suits you best? Today, we’re introducing fragrances matched to each personal color season type to help you discover the perfect scent that reflects your own unique vibe. A person’s image isn’t only felt through appearance. Sometimes, a fleeting scent leaves a lasting impression of someone's mood or personality. Just like personal color, fragrance can express a “vibe that feels like you.”

We often choose perfumes based on trends or popular brands, but a fragrance that truly suits you starts with your color tone and personal image. Let’s explore the scent profiles that match each season type, and hopefully, you’ll find your very own signature fragrance.

Spring Warm

The Spring type has a fresh, sunlit energy—radiant like morning light. With clear skin tones and a soft, warm smile, these individuals shine in bright and cheerful scents rather than heavy, intense ones.

Light, juicy notes like neroli, peony, peach, and bergamot work beautifully for brunch dates or when you’re wearing a bright blouse. Delicate and lovely, like morning dew on flower petals  is the essence of Spring.

Autumn types have a natural depth and grounded presence. Muted, earthy tones suit them more than vivid colors, and their charm comes from subtle expression rather than boldness.

What scent matches your color?

Perfume isn’t just about smell—it’s an emotional language that reveals a person’s mood, energy, and inner depth. The same scent can feel soft on one person and sharp on another. The reason is because when your color and scent come together, that’s when your true self really shines.

If you're searching for a scent that expresses both who you are now and who you’re becoming, maybe today’s the day to take some time and discover the one that fits you best.
