They say that scent is the strongest sense tied to memory. If that's true than the exact right perfume for a special day, moment or even a signature everyday fragrance becomes that much more important. We have six options for six different occasions- each one a perfect match for whatever the day brings! 
 

Your Scent: The name says it all, Lovestruck by Vera Wang (C$79.00) is the perfect fragrance for a date night. The perfume aims to capture the feeling of a woman who is struck by love and captivated by passion. Can you get anymore romantic? Spritz on this feminine and floral perfume lightly and let it settle for a sweet and sophisticated aroma. 

Top Notes: luscious pink guava, heavenly angelica flower
Heart Notes: delicate tuberose
Base: precious woods 

Wear it with:  Glam it up with a sky high pair of Jessica Simpson Para High Heels (US$98.00) and keep it sheer and shimmery with Yves Saint Laurent Volupte Sheer Candy Lipstick (US$30.00).


Your Scent: Kenzo FlowerTag (C$79.00) is appropriate for day time and the office without being too 'old lady' or stuffy. It's a fresh fragrance with a punch of floral notes with sensual undertones. The bottle is designed to be reminiscent of graffiti tagging to evoke your free, spontaneous spirit. 

Top Notes: Rhubarb, blackcurrant and mandarin
Heart Notes: Peony, lily of the valley, jasmine
Base Notes: Tea note, vanilla, musk 

Wear it with: A sophisticated carry all big enough for a laptop and all your other needs, try Banana Republic Red Leather Satchel (C$160.00) and avoid looking too made up for the office with Too Faced Natural Eye Kit (C$25.00)
 


Your Scent:  Wonderstruck by Taylor Swift and Elizabeth Arden (C$78.00) is a great option for the younger girl who wants a fresh, sweet scent by doesn't want anything too heavy or musky. It's described as a gourmand floral which rings true to the mixture of fruit and floral scents. It's inspired by Taylor's fondest memories and favourite smells. 

Top Notes: Fressia, apple blossom, juicy berries

Heart Notes: Honeysuckel, white hibiscuss
Base Notes: Golden amber, warm musk, peach 

Wear it with: A comfy and cozy Gap Striped Cable Sweater (C$64.95) and for some added fun, OPI The Muppets Collection in Rainbow Connection (C$12.00).


Your Scent: If Fan di Fendi (C$88.00) was a girl, she'd be the type of girl you'd want to go out with you. This perfume is for the fun loving, electrifying and playful woman. It's a glamorous fragrance heavy on patchouli and leather. This one is definitely not for the wallflower! 

Top Notes: Pear, blackcurrant, tangerine, pink peppercorns
Heart Notes: Damascena rose, yellow jasmine, Indian tuberose 
Base Notes: Leather, patchouli

Wear it with: A slinky, sexy but tasteful dress in an eye popping colour like Nasty Gal Fuscia Wrap Dress (US$58.00) and go all out with Benefit Lash Lovelies in 'Big Spender' (C$18.00)


Your Scent: Lancome Tresor Midnight Rose (C$75.00) has a soft but spicy smell, the perfect scent for the holiday season. The strong rose smell is feminine while the pink pepper gives it an edge. With vanilla musk, it's also a very romantic perfume- mistletoe anyone? 

Top Notes: Raspberry, blackcurrant 
Heart Notes: Rose Absolute, jasmine, peony 
Base Notes: Vanilla, musk, cedar 
 
Wear it with: A universally flattering classic dress in a deep colour like this Top Shop Claret Sleeveless Tuck Shift Dress (C$84.00) and a great go to kit like Benefit 'I'm Glam, Therefore I Am' Make Up Kit (C$40.00)


Your Scent: Lazing around on a weekend, you don't want a musky or intense perfume. A light, fresh and modern fragrance like Demeter's Laundromat (US$39.50) is concentrated enough to deliver scent but won't over power your senses. It's clean smell is comforting and nostalgic. 

Wear it with: A trendy but practical Forever 21 Plaid Poncho (C$17.80) and instead on layering on foundation, try Tarina Tarantino Pearl Glow Luminizing Primer to give your skin a natural dewey glow (US$32.00)

I'm absolutely loving Kenzo's FlowerTag right now! I didn't think I would because I also thought Kenzo was a more mature brand but the scent is grown up without being too musty or mature. It's very modern and light and floral.

I got Lovestruck a little while ago with my beloved Shoppers Optimum Points and I have been meaning to review it for a while now. It's LOVEly (ha ha get it? I'm cheesy I know lol) and I totally agree shiorim, when it comes to perfume I am a total sucker for the packaging. This one looks SO pretty on my dresser!

I love the dresses for the holiday and girl's night out just saying!

Although the bottle for the lovestruck is a bit excessive, I'm a sucker for nice packaging. I want to try the Demeter series, think the scents sound really interesting and unique!
