How to Choose the Right Perfume in Singapore — A Local’s Guide to Signature Scents

Finding the perfect perfume in Singapore can be overwhelming with so many choices on the market. Whether you're buying for yourself or as a gift, your fragrance should match your style, personality, and our tropical climate. Here’s a practical guide for Singaporean shoppers looking to discover their signature scent — without the guesswork.

1. Pick a Scent That Works in SG Weather

In Singapore’s humid weather, not every perfume lasts or smells the same. Look for fresh, citrus, aquatic, or floral notes for daytime wear. These are lighter and won’t feel overwhelming. For evening or indoor events, you can explore deeper woody or musky tones.

2. Consider Longevity and Sillage

Perfumes perform differently depending on their concentration. EDP (Eau De Parfum) usually lasts longer than EDT, which is ideal for daily SG use. If you’re commuting or spending time outdoors, go for perfumes with good lasting power and sillage — so the scent stays noticeable throughout the day.

3. Match the Occasion

  • Work or school: Clean, professional scents with tea or white floral notes
  • Evening dates: Bold, sensual fragrances with amber or oud
  • Casual weekends: Citrus, green, or fruity blends that feel refreshing

4. Don’t Rely on International Reviews Alone

Perfumes perform differently in SG humidity compared to Europe or the US. That’s why we always recommend trying fragrances that are tested and loved by local shoppers. At Seraphine Scents, we stock only 100% authentic perfumes curated for Singaporeans — from iconic brands like Tom Ford, Dior, Armani, Bvlgari, and more.
