Scoring

Mostly A's GIRLY GIRL

You adore all things feminine and romantic. You probably already wear fragrance every day, and when you pass a perfume counter, you test every bottle in sight. A great signature scent for you is floral but strong. You're confident enough in your, glorious girlyhood to make a powerful perfume statement.

SCENTS YOU'LL LOVE: At Crabtree & Evelyn, pick up Spring Rain ($25), a romantic scent that won't bust your piggy bank. Or save up the Christmas cashola for a flowery department store fragrance, like the lily- and violet-infused Estee Lauder Pleasures ($38) or Origins Spring Fever ($35), which has notes from fresh blossoms and greens. For a real splurge, try Anais Anais by Cacharel ($50) or Miracle by Lancome ($45).

Mostly B's HIPPIE CHICK

You groove to an earthy-crunchy beat. As a nature lover, you'll totally dig a woodsy or musky fragrance. You might also really like pure and natural scents, like vanilla or sandalwood--both available as essential oils. Apply them straight up, or mix a few oils to make your own unique fragrance.

SCENTS YOU'LL LOVE: Cruise into The Body Shop to check out its large selection of essential oils. You can pick up fab natural scents, like jasmine, eucalyptus, chamomile and more, for under $8 a pop. Want something a little lighter? Crabtree & Evelyn makes a great vanilla scent, Vanilla ($30). Lush's Karma ($23) is a smoky blend of patchouli, orange, lavender and Siberian pine--and it's moderately priced to boot. Or try Aromafloria's Healing Spirits ($38). This blend of herbs and essential oils is the first fragrance proven to reduce stress. For a real treat, try Oriental-infused Intuitions by Estee Lauder ($45) or Oxygen by Lanvin ($60)--a radiant bouquet of flowers, spices and rare woods.

Mostly C's KEEPING IT REAL

You're super-active and into having a total blast at all times. You love school sports, plus you've got a full load of classes to handle--so your fragrance needs to be fun but functional. If you feel most comfy keeping your beauty routine basic and practical, you need a full-on fresh, clean scent that'll stick from one activity to the next. You could go for a fruity fragrance--one that takes its essence from, yes, actual fruit like lemons and oranges. Since fruit-based scents tend to be light, feel free to reapply often, like after indoor track practice.

SCENTS YOU'LL LOVE: Your nostrils should dig the citrusy kick of Tommy Hilfiger Tommy Girl Cool Spray ($49), no question. Or check out Mary Kay's new teen fragrance, Velocity ($28). For mere pocket change at the drug store, Adidas by Coty ($16) and Bonne Bell Bottled Emotion in Sassy ($4) are worth a sniff. And next time you're at the mall, wander in to Bath & Body Works and whiff the peony and passionfruit of Imagine... Love ($25).

Mostly D's FUNKY DIVA

Your daring spirit tempts you toward trying the offbeat. Your clothes are super-now and your makeup is straight outta the latest Destiny's Child video. So your signature scent should be equally as hip. You'll adore great-smelling, fashion-forward scents. Experiment with an unusual fragrance that smells really out there--breath mints or dirt, anyone?

SCENTS YOU'LL LOVE: Yep, dirt and breath mints. Altoids, the curiously strong peppermint, can now be worn from head to toe. Altoids Pick-Me-Up cologne spray by Demeter fragrances is not only original, it's inexpensive--$15! Want something a little, well, earthier? Try Demeter's Dirt, also $15. Dirt and mints not for you? Why not try one of Demeter's other scents? They have perfumes that smell like everything form baked goods (Birthday Cake is yummy) to furniture (Mahogany is oddly appealing). Hoping for a more natural but equally complex smell? Aveda's Sand Verbana ($20) is a cool combination of citrus, greens and florals, like jasmine an ylang ylang. Looking for something sophisticated? Try Avon's new Little Black Dress ($22) with exotic ingredients like Japanese plum, Tahitian gardenia and Indonesian jasmine. It's party perfect. Speaking of feeling festive, we just love Medieval's Winter Solstice blend of ginger, mint and frankincense ($23). Ahhh...

We've got the skinny on how to make sense out of making scents....

The right way to try before you buy. Splurging on the expensive department store stuff? Spray the inside of your wrist with the scent you're testing, and then sniff it occasionally as you stroll some stores. If you still love it when it's time to head home, buy it right before you hit the highway. Well, if Mom lends you the Gold card.

Where else to go for perfume purchases? Scent-sational websites like www.perfume.com have info on tons of different perfumes. For cool scents plus cosmetics, try www.sephora.com. Want to concoct your own creation? Go to www.reflect.com to custom-blend a fragrance just the way you like it. Get tough-to-find stuff at The Fragrance Factory (1-800-257-4513) or Parfumelle (1-800-874-1118). To order Demeter fragrances, like Altoids or Dirt, call 1-800-482-0422.

The secret of scent layering. Give your signature scent some staying power. First, suds up with a shower or bath gel in your fragrance. Next, apply the same scent in body lotion to your legs and arms. Finish up with a spritz of fragrance on the inside of your wrists, behind your ears and behind your knees. The trick to successfully layering scent? Use a light touch at all times, so the end result won't be over-the-top. Phew!

How to store your signature scent? Scents will last two to five years if you stash them in a cool, dark place, like inside your sweater drawer.
