Signature Scent
A fragrance you wear often enough that it becomes a familiar part of your routine and may become associated with you. It can be your usual choice while you also enjoy other scents.
A signature scent is a fragrance you regularly reach for and enjoy wearing. Other people may come to associate it with you, but the practical starting point is finding something you want to wear again.
Try a sample during your ordinary routine. Notice whether you enjoy the opening and later scent, and whether its presence feels comfortable in the settings where you spend time. Return to it on another day before deciding on a bottle.
