Finding the right fragrance is one of the most personal beauty endeavors a woman or man can embark on. I, personally, like to have a few on hand. Each morning, I select which perfume to use based on my mood and whatever I will be doing that day. For an active day, I'll opt for something clean and light. For a night out, I'll look for muskier tones like suede.
Perfumes and colognes have an uncanny ability to pull at emotional heartstrings, so there's no right or wrong way to pick your scent. I suggest starting with a simple question: what makes you, you? Here, we break down five bestselling fragrances, all available at Nordstrom, based on personality type.

Romantic
A truly romantic fragrance is equal parts sweet and musky. Peony & Blush Suede ($136) by Jo Malone London has notes of peony, rose, and apple with a suede base that gives it just the right amount of edge.

The Homebody
A cozy night in requires a scent to match, and Maison Margiela's Replica by the Fireplace Fragrance ($126) is the perfect option. Pink pepper and orange flower petals give it a sweetness, while chestnut, guaiac oil, and cade oil offer a more masculine note.

The Fashionista
For the style-savvy, the bottle is just as important as what's inside. Gucci Bloom ($74-$128) is a deliciously floral scent with notes of Rangoon creeper, tuberose, and jasmine bud. And yes, the bottle will look great when you take your next #shelfie.

The Party Girl
For a sexy, "who's that girl?" type of fragrance, look no further than just about any option from Tom Ford. Neroli Portofino ($235-$320) is one of the most modern options from Ford's range, and it's guaranteed to leave an impression.
