The way you smell is the way you move through the world. It is more revealing about character than the clothes you wear or the things you say. If you’re looking for a scent that can tell others more about you than even you know about yourself, look no further.
This quiz is meant to be taken as a traditional magazine quiz. Keep track of the number of A’s, B’s, C’s and Ds you get, and your results will correspond to the greatest number of a single letter you got. If it’s a tie between two, choose the perfume whose notes resonate most deeply with you!
- What is your go-to drink?
- A) Tea, at home. Thick and decadent, with an amount of cream and sugar you would be embarrassed to drink in public. But who cares? It’s your house.
- B) Black Coffee–not drip. An americano. Milk is for babies and bitches. But you will have a slice of coffee cake to go with it.
- C) If you’ve already looked at the results of the quiz you might think you know what I’m going to say. But you don’t. You don’t know anything. Fizzy water.
- D) Skim milk.
- What is your go to nail set?
- A) Clean and simple, french tips. (Did the french invent this? Whose tip is it anyway?) But as a child, you painted each of your fingernails a different color.
- B) Mahogany. You once heard it called oxblood.
- C) Unpainted, bitten down to the quick. But in a chic way.
- D) Red gel nails, grown out for a month.
- What’s your favorite day of the year?
- A) July 29th – Summer has arrived in all its glory. It’s evening, the air is heavy and wet around you.
- B) November 7th – A crispness in the air makes you feel rejuvenated. The click of your heels against the pavement reminds you of your mother.
- C) May 20th – The first warm day of spring, it always comes later in the year than you expect. Though the snow melted months ago, this is the first time you can really believe it will be warm again.
- D) February 12th – It’s cold outside, but the day is bright. You pack a lunch from home, and allow yourself to look out onto the snowy ground below you as you eat.
- What place would you like to be when you drift into the great beyond?
- A) The warm sand of the first beach I went to as a child. From childhood I come and towards childhood I go.
- B) In a bed, warm, with someone I love holding my hand.
- C) The backyard of my closest friend, lying in a patch of grass, feeling the cool earth on my back.
- D) Floating in the sea. I feel the waves lapping my head as I drift off.
