I’m usually a mum covered in snacks, snot, and mild chaos… but I refuse to give up smelling amazing.
No one in my house appreciates a luxury fragrance, but I wear it anyway — because even if I look like I have slept in a skip, I can at least smell expensive. Perfume is my tiny daily upgrade. My “I still have standards” moment.
This list is full of scents that make you feel put together, feminine, confident, and slightly less feral — even if you’re working from home in joggers. If I’m going to be exhausted, I’m at least going to smell lovely doing it.
It's sweet and light but actually stays on your skin all day long. If you’re looking for a floral perfume that leans more pretty and fresh than nose-crinkling garden vibes, this is for you. Plus, the bottle will elevate any bathroom counter in a matt...

I got this originally as a sample in the beauty box a while back and absolutely loved it so I decided to treat myself with the 30ml spray and oh my gosh it's amazing. Smells beautiful and lasts all day.

Bought it immediately when I smelled it. It's so good!
Juliette Has A Gun Miami Shake Eau de Parfum
Sensual and sexy scent I love the sensual vanilla scent of the perfume. I receive so many compliments when I wear it.
The scent makes me feel calm and sexy in the middle of a toddler tantrum!
Vanilla Sex Eau de Parfum | TOM FORD BEAUTY
I get complimented on this perfume at least 3-4 times a day when I wear it. It’s so soft and clean. One of the nicest perfumes you can own.

This is the kind of perfume that I want to wear to sleep it smells so good. I am complimented almost daily on how good this perfume smells… I just love it.
Glossier You
It’s clean and feminine and fresh but has lasting power and gets compliments. Of course beautiful packaging etc as expected from Jo Malone.
English Pear & Freesia Cologne
I was eyeing this perfume for so long but couldn't convince myself to get the full bottle. I use it ALL the time and you really only need 1.5 sprays its so powerful so the small bottle will last you ages.
Gourmand and Floral Perfume Love, don't be shy | KILIAN PARIS
I bought the 9ml to test out how this perfume wears on my skin and clothing. Of course perfumes are about personal preference, but I do feel that this perfume is universally attractive for both men and women.
Phlur Missing Person Eau de Parfum (10ml, 50ml)
At first spritz, it’s fresh and a little fruity without being cloying. One of my favourites!
