Sig ·​na·​ture -

as an adjective described by Merriam-Webster, is distinctively related and identified with someone or something. For reference, think about the vibrant red soles of a pair of Christian Louboutin oxfords. Now picture those same shoes coated with glacier blue soles. The thought of a color change now diminishes the status of what the iconic soles represent in our minds due to pop culture. A signature of someone or something can also result in a negative reputation if a history or pattern of lackluster performance is established. 

Scent - is defined as a characteristic or particular smell. However, when combined and used correctly, these two words become a powerful force that every gentleman needs to have in his arsenal on standby.


A signature scent, again, when used correctly, provides an instant boost of confidence because knowing you smell great makes you feel great, and feeling great allows you to thrive with your daily tasks. In addition to a gain of self-confidence, a signature scent that mixes well with your body chemistry enhances the impressions you make when interacting with people.

Being told, “You smell so good!” is definitely in the top 5 phrases any man loves to hear. A signature scent makes you memorable because anytime your friends, co-workers, or that special someone smells anything similar, you’ll be on their minds. Selecting a signature scent can be as uncomplicated or complex as you decide to make it. Nonetheless, a level of effort is highly encouraged because, similar to body language and personal style choices, the type of fragrance you decide to wear will send messages to those around you. 

When searching for the perfect signature scent, ask the following questions:

Simple Search:

  • What type of scents do I like (aquatic, powdery, clean)?

  • What level of concentration should I pick (strength and longevity of scent)?

  • How much does this cost?

Complex Search:

  • What type of scents do I like (aquatic, powdery, clean)?

  • How will this fragrance encourage me to feel (ambitious, suave, or dominant)?

  • Does the scent of this fragrance reflect the message I want others around me to experience?

  • Is this location appropriate (Locations: Runnings errands, the office, date, black tie event) 

  • What is the current season or season I’ll wear this in (weather)?

  • What time of day will I wear this (Day or Night)?

  • What level of concentration should I pick (strength and longevity of scent)?

  • How much does this cost?

But don’t worry, to save you time, PRADA - OCEAN LUNA ROSSA is The Tilmann’s pick for Spring Signature Scent, and this is why we recommend it should be yours too or at least included in your impressive collection of fragrances. 

With top notes of Bergamot, Pink Pepper, and Artemisia, mid notes of lavender and saffron, and base notes of Patchouli and caramel, Prada Ocean (eau de toilette or EDT) is perfect for the mix of sunny and rainy weather, the spring season brings. Although the longevity of the top note scent fades rather quickly, the combination of scents creates a fragrance that is fresh, clean, lightweight, and will receive many compliments.
