Fragrances worth adding to your collection, from budget dupes to a few splurges. Light, warm, bold- whatever your vibe is. Updating this one as I find new favorites.

Such a soft floral scent that feels fresh without being too sweet or heavy. One of those everyday perfumes that just works no matter the season.
RAY OF GARDENIA EDP 90 ML / 3.04 FL. OZ.
Inspired by Maison Francis Kurkdjian's Baccarat Rouge 540, this one leans warm and amber with a sweet saffron edge. A popular pick for anyone curious about the viral scent without the $210 price tag.
Dossier Ambery Saffron
Would love to add this one since Zara fragrances keep surprising me with how good they smell for the price. This one especially feels made for a fun night out.
Zara Watch Me Dance EDP 100ml
Such a soft cozy vanilla scent that's light enough for everyday wear without being overwhelming. Perfect for layering under a stronger perfume too.
Victoria's Secret Bare Vanilla Fragrance Mist
Smells like coconut and vanilla without being overpowering, and it genuinely lasts all day.
Native Deodorant, Coconut & Vanilla (2.65oz)
Such a fresh floral scent, light and pretty without being too much.
Versace Bright Crystal EDT
Smells exactly like the name says, sweet and fun without being sickly.
Ariana Grande Sweet Like Candy EDP
Would love to add this one since Black Opium is one of those scents that just commands attention, coffee and vanilla with a floral white undertone, it's the kind of perfume people ask you about.
YSL Black Opium EDP (3.0 oz)
One of the better budget picks for longevity and projection, great if you want a candy-sweet scent that doesn't fade within an hour.
Lattafa Yara Candy EDP (3.4 oz)
Such a classic fresh scent, and getting the set means you can layer it for it to actually last longer.

VANILLA | 28 - KAYALI
I wore this to a dinner and someone asked me twice what perfume it was — the jasmine is strong but the vanilla base keeps it from feeling too heavy.
Donna Born In Roma – Valentino
I expected something overly sweet from the name, but it opens fresh and fruity before settling into a soft vanilla warmth that lasts basically all day.

Joivida Fragrance Spray Mist
light, floral, not overpowering, gets compliments without being 'a lot.'

If you want a signature scent that feels current (not something everyone's mom already wears), then this just launched and is already getting a lot of buzz.
Glimmer Eau de Parfum Spray
I always struggle finding a signature scent that isn't too overpowering but still makes an impression of, Eros nails that balance it
