Fashion-lovers aren't afraid to express themselves -- whether it's with a trendy new accessory that hasn't hit the mainstream, or with bold, statement-making colors. Likewise, fashionistas prefer expressive fragrances, says Lang. "Soft floral scents are always fresh and in style." Combine that floral scent with musk undertones for "noticeable richness."
"Many best-selling designer fragrances are built on a combination of these notes."
Notes to look for: Combinations of peony, jasmine, violet and lily of the valley will appease your senses. Warm, earthy florals like violet have strong staying power in colder months, says Crames.
Try this:
• Tom Ford Velvet Orchid, $159
• Giorgio Armani Si, $115

Vanilla-based scents with the addition of floral notes are relaxing for a laid-back personality. "Florals are grounded (from the earth), and vanilla evokes comfort and warmth," says Lang. "When you combine these two, you find the girl who doesn't take herself too seriously, yet has her own unique sense of style."
Notes to look for: Look for fragrances with strong vanilla notes, accompanied by jasmine, amber, sandalwood, patchouli or cedar.
Try this:
• Philosophy Fresh Cream, $36
• Agent Provocateur Fatale, $75

If you keep borrowing your guy's cologne, it's time you got your own. "Notes that were in the past considered masculine are in more women's fragrances now," says Crames. "Masculine scents are powerful. They have more body and they're really sexier."
Lang agrees saying, spicy cedar or peppery scents are for "the girl that is a firecracker. She is bold, outspoken and unafraid to go after what she wants."
Notes to look for: Dark green notes like cedar are popular in fall fragrances, says Crames. Also look for darker musks such as tobacco or patchouli, and spices like pepper or cardamom.
Try This:
• Yves Saint Laurent Splendid Wood, $250
• Narciso Rodriguez Narcisco, $112
• Krigler America One, $310
