Jill is getting married in October, and she’d like to find the perfect perfume for her wedding. It must be something she has never worn before. Her wedding will be in Portmeirion village in Wales, and will have a 1920s/30s theme. She’ll be wearing a 1930s gold column dress, and her husband will be wearing either Ormonde Man or Knize Ten. Jill has great access to perfume stores, and is willing to spend up to $250.
Here is what we know about Jill:
She’s in her 30s and lives in London.
She says she appears mainstream but is actually pretty quirky, and she has a sick sense of humor. She is also self-confident and can be loud and/or less than tactful…

Andrea is getting married in the UK next June. Like Rebecca, she's looking for her perfect wedding fragrance, something that will be special and always remind her of her wedding day. She says she's tried all the traditional wedding fragrances but none of them quite fit.
Andrea is in her 30s. She describes herself as shy on the whole, but she's bubbly and outgoing with people she already knows. Her style is classic and understated, although on lazy days she's in “jeans and Ugg boots”. She doesn't wear much jewelry. She says everyone expects her to be in a relatively plain fitted strapless wedding gown, but instead she's going for lace.
On the perfume front, Andrea likes creamy, powdery, soft scents, with floral notes and non-foody vanilla. Some of the scents she likes…

Meredith is getting married this fall. She’s chosen her dress — a slender, vintage silk linen column, sort of a cross between something Empress Josephine and Penelope Tree might have worn. She’s selected the menu for the reception, chosen flowers, and is mailing invitations this week. However, she hasn’t yet found the right perfume to wear for the wedding.
Wedding fragrances seem to need to do a little of everything. A wedding scent should convey happiness, be present but not overwhelming, and complement the setting — usually a churchy blend of flowers, beeswax candles, organ music, and white organza. Most of all, the scent should be calm and joyful. If the scent is new to the bride, whenever she smells it, she will remember her wedding.
According to people I talked to at a handful of local bridal boutiques, Vera Wang and Estee Lauder Beautiful get a lot of play, but few other scents stand out as favorites…
