So my boyfriend took me to Olfactory NYC on Newbury Street in Boston this weekend and just …WOW. You sit down with a scentologist, build your own perfume from scratch, your notes, your vibe, your name on the bottle, and you walk out with a 50ml of so...
Olfactory NYC: A New Custom Fragrance Concept | Custom Perfume
My daughter has always had the best taste in fragrance — honestly better than most adults I know. She came home one day smelling like something I needed immediately and it turned out to be Ari.
Raspberry, pear and vanilla orchid that dries down into ...
Ariana Grande Ari Eau de Parfum - Floral Gourmand
I fell down a MIIM MIIC rabbit hole hunting for a dupe of Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa ’39 — the cult coconut scent that got discontinued and literally broke the internet — and I never came back up. Their No. 63 is that dupe and it is scary good, but No. ...
MIIM MIIC Floral & Bourbon Vanilla Mist
Floral
Rose, jasmine, peony, soft feminine
Clean, fresh and universally loved for a reason — pomegranate, peony and lotus flower that dries down into the softest musk. Light enough for every day, polished enough for any occasion, and that bottle looks ridiculous on a vanity in the best possib...
Bright Crystal Parfum - Versace | Ulta Beauty
Full transparency — I bought this one for the packaging. The bottle is absolutely stunning, the yellow is everything, and I wanted to love it. But on my skin it goes straight to ozonic vanilla with a banana undertone I personally cannot get past.
Her...
Gucci Flora Gorgeous Orchid 1.6oz EDP Spray
The bottle is gorgeous and I had to have it simply for that reason for my collection.
Okay so the actual scent — it’s SWEET. Like almost too sweet. Go light or you’ll smell like you fell face first into a birthday cake. I don’t wear it every day but...
House of Sillage Sweet Dream Parfum | Nordstrom
Exotic & Spicy
Oud , saffron, incense, dark florals
Okay so here’s the thing about BR540. My seatbelt permanently smells like it. My coat smells like it three days after I wear it. One spray. That’s genuinely all it takes.
This is the perfume the internet has been losing its mind over for years and I...
Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540 Set
I am not a patchouli person — so when I tell you this one completely wrecked me, understand the weight of that. Dark jammy Turkish rose, incense and sandalwood that somehow never actually smells like patchouli. Hypnotic, complicated, and absolutely n...
Frederic Malle Portrait of a Lady EDP 0.34oz
Juicy mango and jasmine that dries down into creamy warm sandalwood and incense — someone actually followed me into a store once to find out what I was wearing. True story.
Longevity varies by skin chemistry so layer it with the matching lotion and i...
Rabanne Fame Eau de Parfum Women 2.7oz
That bottle is a whole entire moment and I absolutely needed it on my vanity.
The scent is dark, rich and a little bit sexy — jasmine up front and then it goes warm and almost smoky underneath. It’s a LOT so don’t go crazy with the sprayer unless you...
Carolina Herrera - 5.0 oz ($375 value) Good Girl Eau de Parfum
Tropical & Fruity
Mango, coconut, berries, vacation vibes
Escada Pacific Paradise EDT — 2026 Relaunch
I genuinely screamed when I found out this was back. Discontinued since 2006 and finally relaunched — juicy tropical banana, jasmine and warm amber that smells exactly like summer decided to become a fragra...
ESCADA Pacific Paradise Fragrances for Women for sale
Brand new 2026 release and already on my must have list. Passionfruit and frangipani — think exotic tropical flower, basically if Hawaii had a signature scent — that opens like a vacation and settles into the warmest creamiest vanilla you have ever s...
Emporio Armani Power of You Eau de Parfum
Okay so this one smells like someone turned a cherry cordial into the most expensive thing you’ve ever put on your body. And I mean that in the best possible way.
It’s deep, it’s rich, it’s a little bit boozy and it is absolutely not for everyone. Ha...
Tom Ford Lost Cherry Unisex EDP Spray 1.7 oz
Dupes Worth Every Penny
Luxury scents at a fraction of the price
I have BR540 and I love it obsessively — but I’m not spraying a $398 bottle every single day. That’s where this comes in.
Warm saffron, jasmine and amber that opens almost identical to the original and settles into something genuinely close. Not an ...
Okay so it starts out juicy and fruity — pear, black currant, peony — and then gets warm and creamy with vanilla, jasmine and a little chocolate praline underneath. Basically just a whole vibe.
Heads up — some people get a masculine vibe right out o...
Lattafa The Kingdom , 3.4 oz EDP Spray
Fresh and Clean
Citrus, aquatic, ozonic
This one is hard to explain. Clean lemon and jasmine that smells like fresh air decided to become fancy. Not heavy, not sweet, just genuinely clean in a way that somehow still smells expensive. People report wearing it 14 hours and still catching it ...
CHANEL CHANCE EAU FRAÍCHE Eau de Parfum
Twenty plus years. Same bottle. Still my answer every single time.
I have tried everything — and I mean everything — and I always come back to this one. Clean green florals, white flowers and sandalwood that somehow manages to smell both timeless and...
Calvin Klein Eternity Eau De Parfum, Perfume for Women, 3.4 Oz
Okay the internet will not stop talking about this one and at $30 I’m absolutely going to give it a shot.
Pistachio milk, vanilla and tonka bean that people are comparing to BR540 — which, if that’s even halfway true, is absolutely criminal at this p...
fine'ry. Eau de Parfum Women's Perfume - Pistachio Please - 2 fl oz
Everything I keep reading about this one sounds like clean, warm skin but make it expensive. Musky, soft, slightly powdery and reportedly the kind of scent that gets people stopped constantly for compliments. Been a bestseller since 2003 and apparent...
