Your feminine image is about more than just the way you look. It’s also about the way you speak, move, think, act, and smell. Yes, SMELL!

Scent is strongly linked to emotions – and the right perfume can make you feel irresistibly feminine.

How do you choose the perfect feminizing perfume? Here are the different types of perfume scents and the impressions they create:

Floral Perfumes

Floral perfumes are based on the scent of one flower (like lavender, rose, gardenia, or geranium) or a combination of several flowers.

Floral perfumes are great for crossdressers and transgender women since they are the most feminine of fragrances. Wear a floral perfume when you want to express your soft, romantic side.

Examples of floral perfumes include: Daisy by Marc Jacobs, Estée Lauder White Linen, Dior J’Adore, Stella by Stella McCartney, Kenzo Flower by Kenzo, and L‘Air du Temps by Nina Ricci.

Fruity Perfumes

Fruity perfumes contain citrus scents, such as lemon, grapefruit, strawberry, peach, kiwi, etc.

Fruity perfumes are fresh and youthful, making them a great choice for when you want to feel confident and energetic.

Examples of fruity perfumes include: L.A.M.B. by Gwen Stefani, Cartier Eau de Cartier, Sun Flowers by Elizabeth Arden, Beautiful Sheer by Estée Lauder, DKNY by Donna Karan, and Emporio White by Giorgio Armani.

Fresh Perfumes

Fresh perfumes (also called green scents) are light and airy. They are based on scents of grass, green leaves and the ocean.

Fresh perfumes are energetic and rejuvenating. They are great to wear when you are out “en femme” since they boost your mood and put other people at ease.

Examples of fresh perfumes include: J.Lo Glow by Jennifer Lopez, Fifth Avenue by Elizabeth Arden, Diorissimo, Dune by Christian Dior, Bond No. 9, and Safari by Ralph Lauren.

Oriental Perfumes

Oriental perfumes are rich and dramatic and smell of spices, musk, vanilla and heavy flowers.

Oriental perfumes have a sexy and sophisticated air. Just be sure to choose a light scent since oriental perfumes can lean toward the masculine side.

Examples of oriental perfumes include: Dior Addict, Lancome Attraction, Opium by Yves Saint Laurent, Samsara by Guerlain, Lalique Perfume by Lalique, and Sun Moon & Stars by Karl Lagerfeld.

Woody Perfumes

Woody perfumes are heavy and dramatic and are incorporate scents like sandalwood, patchouli, and cedar.

Woody perfumes are sensual and exotic, but they are the most masculine of all fragrances. Therefore, you may want to avoid this particular fragrance type.

Examples of woody perfumes include: Passion by Elizabeth Taylor, Escada by Escada, Lovely by Sarah Jessica Parker, Cashmere Mist by Donna Karan, Habanita by Molinard, and Givenchy Organza.

Did you know that the colors you wear have a huge impact on the way people perceive you – particularly when you present yourself as a woman?

Colors send subconscious messages and can definitely influence how feminine or masculine you are seen to be.

Do you know what you’re projecting with your outfit and accessories?

This is a detail you don’t want to overlook!

Here are the meanings of 12 different colors – and what they say about your femme self:

White

White is associated with purity and innocence, which is why it’s traditionally worn by brides. Wear white if you want to look pure, pristine, and impeccable.

Blue

Light blue sends messages of peace, trust, and understanding. Dark blue is associated with authority and masculinity (think police uniforms), so use this color sparingly. The best blues for crossdressers and transgender women are light blue and baby blue.

Red

Red is the most intense color of all and is associated with passion, desire, love, and sexuality. Wear red if you want to be noticed!

Pink

Pink is the color of love and romance. No surprisingly, it’s also the most feminine color, so you’ll want to incorporate plenty of pink into your wardrobe.

Black

Black is associated with power, elegance, and formality. Wear black when you want to look sophisticated and mysterious.

Purple

Purple communicates mystery, magic, and creativity. This is a great color to wear if you want to add a touch of fantasy to your look.

Green

Light green symbolizes freshness and youthfulness, while dark green is associated with money and ambition. Wear a soft shade of green to add a fresh, feminine vibe to your look.

Yellow

Yellow is the color of joy and energy. Wear yellow to show off your fun, playful side. Avoid yellow when you want to be taken seriously.

Orange

Like yellow, orange is associated with joy, enthusiasm, and attraction. This is a great color to wear when you want to liven things up.

Brown

Brown is a stable, wholesome, and down-to-earth color. Wear brown for mellow occasions or if you want to appear reliable and genuine.

Gray

Gray is great color to wear when you need to come across as professional and trustworthy. Too much gray can get boring though, so be sure to punch it up with some fun colors.

Beige

Beige is a simple, conservative color that’s friendly, approachable and non-threatening. It’s perfect for times when you want people to open up to you.
