The sense of smell is a highly underrated one with the olfactory glands wielding a much bigger influence over us than we realise.
So, what makes us more drawn to one particular fragrance than another? Unsurprisingly, it all boils down to your personality, so let's find out what your favourite perfume says about you. And, if you're in the market for something new, we have a few suggestions, too.
