Customising a fragrance means selecting, combining, or tailoring scents to suit your personal preferences, lifestyle, or occasion rather than buying a single off-the-shelf perfume and hoping it fits. At Scentimental SA, customisation works through the breadth of the range rather than bespoke formulation. With 850+ inspired-by fragrances across men’s, women’s, and unisex categories, the catalogue is large enough to build a genuinely personal fragrance wardrobe, layer scents, and put together curated gift sets tailored to any individual.

Most people buy one perfume and wear it every day. The more intentional approach is building a fragrance wardrobe the way you build a wardrobe of clothes, different scents for different occasions, seasons, and moods. Scentimental’s catalogue makes this accessible at a price point that doesn’t require choosing just one.

Building your personal fragrance wardrobe

A fragrance wardrobe typically covers four bases: a daytime scent for work or casual wear, an evening scent for social occasions, a fresh summer option, and a warmer, richer winter scent. Most people find they want something different on a Monday morning versus a Saturday night, and one fragrance rarely does all of that well.

With 850+ options across every scent family, Scentimental’s range is deep enough to fill all four. A practical starting point is to identify which designer fragrances you already love or have always wanted to try, then find the inspired-by versions. This gives you an instant starting point without the guesswork.

A well-built fragrance wardrobe for women might look like:

·      Daytime: Inspired by Dior Miss Dior (fresh floral, light and versatile)

·      Evening: Inspired by YSL Black Opium (rich, sweet, distinctive)

·      Summer: Inspired by Jo Malone Peony & Blush Suede (clean and soft)

·      Winter: Inspired by Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb (warm oriental floral)

For men:

·      Daytime: Inspired by Bleu de Chanel (fresh, woody, clean)

·      Evening: Inspired by Creed Aventus (smoky, fruity, confident)

·      Summer: Inspired by Giorgio Armani Acqua di Giò (aquatic, light)

·      Winter: Inspired by Tom Ford Oud Wood (rich, deep, warming)

Layering fragrances to create your own blend

Layering means applying two fragrances together, either at the same time or one on top of the other after the first has dried slightly. Done well, it creates a scent combination that is genuinely unique and not available from any single bottle.

The principle is simple: pair a light base with a richer top layer, or combine two complementary scent families. Some combinations that work particularly well:

Fresh florals layered with clean musks read as delicate and long-lasting. Oriental bases layered with a light floral on top give depth without heaviness. Woody fragrances layered with something citrus-forward create a clean but warm combination.

Start with the heavier or more complex scent as the base layer, let it settle for a minute, then apply the lighter scent on top. The two fragrances will interact differently on your skin than they do in the bottle, so the first application is always an experiment worth repeating.

Customising gifts at Scentimental

Gift customisation at Scentimental works in two ways: choosing the right scent for the recipient, and choosing the right size and presentation for the occasion.

On scent selection, the key is knowing whether the recipient prefers fresh or warm, light or bold. Fresh and floral works for most people who are new to fragrance. Sweet and oriental suits someone with a defined, personal taste in fragrance. Dark and woody is for someone who already knows what they like and has strong opinions about it.

On size, Scentimental offers 50ml, 100ml, and travel sizes. A travel size is a considered gift for someone you want to introduce to a new scent without committing them to a full bottle. A 100ml bottle is the standard full gift for someone whose preferences you know well. A set combining a full bottle with a travel size of a complementary scent is a step up in presentation and thoughtfulness.

Frequently asked questions

Can I request a fully bespoke or custom-formulated fragrance from Scentimental?

Scentimental’s primary offering is its 850+ range of inspired-by fragrances rather than bespoke formulation from scratch. The depth of the catalogue means there is an inspired-by version of almost every major designer or niche fragrance, giving you substantial room to find something that feels genuinely personal without requiring custom formulation.

How do I find my signature scent from Scentimental’s range?

Start with a designer fragrance you already love or have always wanted to try. Search for the inspired-by version in Scentimental’s catalogue. If you don’t have a reference point, narrow down by scent family first: fresh and floral, sweet and oriental, woody, or aquatic. From there, a travel size lets you test on your skin before committing to a full bottle.

Can I layer Scentimental fragrances?

Yes. Layering works with any combination of fragrances. Apply the heavier scent first, allow it to settle briefly, then layer the lighter scent on top. Complementary scent families (fresh floral with musk, woody with light citrus) tend to work better than contrasting ones, but the best combinations are found through personal experimentation.

Can Scentimental put together a custom gift set?

Scentimental’s range of sizes (50ml, 100ml, and travel) means you can build a personalised gift combination. Selecting a full bottle paired with a travel size of a complementary scent makes for a considered, personal gift that goes beyond a single perfume in a box.

What is the best way to try multiple Scentimental fragrances before deciding?

Travel sizes are the best entry point for testing. They give you enough product to wear properly on your skin across multiple days, which is the only reliable way to evaluate a fragrance. What a scent does in the first minute is different from how it behaves four hours later, and skin chemistry plays a role that you can only assess through wearing.

How many fragrances should I own?

There is no fixed answer, but a practical fragrance wardrobe covers four bases: daytime, evening, summer, and winter. Most people find that four fragrances across those categories gives enough variety without being excessive. From there, a travel size or two for specific occasions rounds out the collection comfortably.
