Identify your preferred scent family.

While some perfume houses really excel at creating one scent family, Replica has an impressive range offering a mix of warm, spicy, fruity, floral, fresh, and sweet fragrances. Truthfully, I don’t think you can go wrong with any of the selections on our list, but to find a perfume that is worthy of becoming your next signature scent, think about your current perfume collection and the scents you already enjoy wearing. For example, if you prefer lighter, airier perfumes, you probably won’t like something that smells smoky and intense. Once you narrow down the vibe or scent profile you’re after, choosing a perfume becomes easier—especially when it’s a blind buy.

Take the bottle size into account.

The Replica perfume bottles are some of the most ~aesthetically pleasing~ designs in the fragrance world, and the biggest size holds a whopping 3.4 oz of liquid for $160 a pop. If you know you love a scent (say you tried a discovery kit and fell in love), consider the biggest bottle to get the best bang for your buck. But keep in mind: The large bottles aren’t the most travel-friendly. Thankfully, all of the scents come in a smaller 1 oz bottle that is suitable for travel, plus are great if you aren't sure how often you'll wear a perfume or have a big collection.

There are also a few Replica scents that are offered in a slender 0.33 oz travel spray—including By the Fireplace, On A Date, and Bubble Bath—that can fit in your purse for re-ups on the go.
