You in the bottle, the thing about signature scents

Nowadays, with so many new perfume releases a year it's particularly impossible to keep up with each and every scent that appears on the market. We have bigger or smaller perfume & samples collections, but we're still craving for more. We want to smell, smell, smell.
But wouldn't you think that it would be good to wake up in the morning, open the window. And no matter what's the weather outside, if you're in a good or bad mood there's the one waiting for you.
The one that is just made for you. The one that suits every weather, your every humour and every situation. So that when you wake up you know that no matter how the day will go it will always stay by your side trying to cheer you up. The signature scent. Is it still possible to have one with some many new temptations appearing on the market every day?
Some say it's not as they treat wearing just fragrance is like abandoning many other goodies, closing yourself new door to new aromatic experiences.
Others, like me say that having a signature scent is a basis for being a perfumista. Having a signature scent is like having a true friend - you can always rely on them. Furthermore many say that having a signature scent means wearing it daily. No! Not at all. Signature scent is all about having it with you on special moments, occasions or simply when you can't decide wether the other fragrance is aproppriate or not. I say it's good to have a signature scent, but I don't expect others to agree. Just remember - wear only these scents that you're comfortable with. No matter what!

I like Flaconneur's reply: to make one's collection one's signature scent. That is an ideal to which I aspire, but it is easier said than done! (-;

Imagine, Lucasai, a collection in which every single choice was something that you would grab with closed eyes and know that it would work! It might be difficult, I realize, because of changes in weather, and other factors, but it's a fine idea, Flaconneur!

What I think is that you may have a signature scent despite the fact of having a greater collection of perfume. People often mistake this definition and treat signature scent as something you can have only while having a smaller collection. Of course you can have only one bottle of perfume, which probably would be your signature, but don't we, who have a little bigger collections have a signature scent. Something you would grab with folded eyes?

Welcome to Parfumo, Lucasai! I've tried to imagine what it would be like to go back to having only 1 or 2 scents I wear... and I can't do it. This was fun to read.

My collection is my signature scent. It changes and adapts to every mood shift or temperature fluctuation a day can bring. Staying true to what you really love, can make your collection reflect you in a true light.

Nice read, Lucasai and again, welcome to Parfumo.
