Which compliment would you rather? Would you rather someone come up to you and say "Your perfume smells so good?" Or "You always smell so good"? Each one is a compliment right. Both are similar to these two compliments-- "I love your make-up" vs "You are so beautiful". In both examples with the first compliment it's the product getting the compliment vs YOU getting the compliment. I mean let's face it any compliment, even those back handed sideways compliments can make your day. You know the one "You look so pretty today" Today? What about yesterday? Yeah that might sting a bit. Here's the important bit though. Out of any compliment you will get, only one will put an indelible imprint on someone for years without you ever saying a word. It's this one "You always smell so good". The key word there is YOU. And whether it's just one scent or 25 scents it still always smells like YOU, and the magic of that is noone else can get that in a bottle at the mall and smell just like you. Because it's your signature scent. That's what you want.
First let's talk about what exactly is a signature Scent?
You know what before we do that let's talk about what it isn't. It's not in a bottle. It's not a trend. It's not a status symbol. It's not what everyone else is wearing. It's not on sale at Macy's. It's definitely not trending. Your signature scent can be one scent, or many scents. WAIT. SKIIIIIRRRRT What did you say? Many scents?! How can that even make sense. How can a signature scent be many scents? Well because a signature scent is not just a scent. It's a vibe. It's YOUR UNIQUE VIBE.
Now let's discover YOUR SIGNATURE SCENT
Although this isn't a hard science there really is a bit a truth to this. Whether it's music, nature, academia, things in general tend to coalesce into categories and types. Not to put things in a box, but hey boundaries kind of help things out a bit. For example, you will notice that our Skin Like Butter that when you visit the scent list you will see that there are 11 main scent groups. You already know if you love FLORALS more than GOURMANDS for example, right? Knowing that information makes it easier to find the scent or scents you love right? Well knowing your scent personality type takes this to a much higher level. Our three ROSE SCENTS are a perfect example of this. Our 3 ROSE scents are a perfect example of how this information is very important. WHITE ROSE, RED ROSE, AND ROSE NOIR fit three totally different scent personality types. Trust me when I tell you if you fall into one personality group you will love Rose Noir, and if you're in another personality group you will absolutely hate it. All three are very ROSE, but very different. So now let's explore the 5 basic Signature Scent Palette Groups and their personalities.
THE 5 SIGNATURE SCENT PALETTE GROUPS
Of course this could be much more in depth, but we wanted to make this a quick read. So we narrowed down the description of the personalities into their super powers. It's a quick accurate description we think works pretty well. Below you will find the scents completely mesh with the superpowers of each personality. Each one will have 10 scents that form the core or bones of their palette, and then there will be 5 additional scents that will make the seasonings of their palette. These 15 scents together will make up their SIGNATURE SCENT.

Clean and Modern means you like anything that smells amazing without smelling like perfume. Your vibe is cool modern energy that is always stylish and never trendy. Your superpower is ageless seductive understated femininity.

CLASSIC AND TRADITIONAL means scent is really not your focal point. Products and how they can benefit you scented or not is your focus. When you do choose a scent it's one that reflects your embrace of timeless elegance. Your superpower is your effortless display of poise and elegance that stands the test of time. Can we say Princess Diana!!

You might have noticed something. There were no gourmands included. Exactly. As I said these are the bones of your palate. The gourmands would be the seasonings to each palate. For example, if you are from Paris, or New Orleans Buttered Baguette, or Beignets would be the perfect seasoning to your signature palate. Like I said it's not a hard perfect science but think this will make things a little easier for you, and eliminate a lot of guess work. In fact, you probably found yourself in one of the 5 right? Well to make things even easier this is where the custom scent samples come in. They aren't available to the public but send me a chat and I can put one together for you in either 5, 10, or 25 pieces in a private listing. That way you can build your signature palate to your exact specs.
If you can't already tell I love this industry and it's artistry as much as I love music. Hence the
playlist collection that noone listens too lol, but I digress. Whether you are a current Skin Like Butter fan, or a complete newbie that just stumbled across this blog I hope this has been helpful for you. Fragrances are expensive. Whether you cheat high street and partake in our
delicious dupes of the beautiful designer scents, or splurge on the "real thing" (those quotes are significant but that's a completely different blog) this information will save you a lot of time and money. You will know exactly what you are doing either way. You will be creating YOUR signature scent.
