The Cool Girl Edit: Effortless Perfumes for Every It Girl
16
items A list of fragrances I think exude “cool girl” energy. Effortless, carefree and always chic (sometimes a little weird). These lean a little more unisex. Think notes like sandalwood, fig, orris, woods and skin musks.

Everyday Cool
These are your everyday “cool girl” perfumes that smell really put together and chic. These are confident and effortless!
I’m obsessed with this one! The opening is pretty green and earthy but softens into a beautiful powdery, warm Iris-vanilla. The leather in the base is smooth more like a suede that balances out the vanilla keeping it from being too sweet. It’s really...
Maison Crivelli Iris Malikhân Eau De Parfum | Saks Fifth Avenue
This has been my everyday fragrance recently. It incense-y and warm with notes of palo santo and myrrh but has the classic glossier you musky base that really warms up to your skin. It’s comforting but still “cool”.
Glossier You Doux
Fall in a bottle. This smells like a cabin in the woods surrounded by trees while hints of vanilla and tobacco waft through the air. It’s so good!
Bo
This is a beautiful fresh, green fig fragrance that blends juicy fruit, creamy coconut, and warm woods. It feels like a Mediterranean summer, effortlessly elegant.
Philosykos Eau de Parfum | Diptyque Paris
This one can also fall into the “clean girl” category. It’s a warm, fuzzy, cozy musk with a peppery opening and soft woods. Perfect for everyday
Angel Dust
This will get you lots of compliments! It’s a musky, woody tea scent with fig and hints of tobacco. It’s effortlessly sophisticated and perfectly unisex. It just smells classy and cool!
THÉ NOIR 29 | Eau De Parfum
A very enticing clean, citrusy vanilla. It’s warm and inviting but still “cool” if you know what I mean. It’s playful but chic.
Fragrance 01 "Taunt"
A well blended mix of fig, Oud, sandalwood and suede. A lot of people say it reminds them of Santal 33 and I agree, even though I think it’s better. It’s a beautiful fall/winter fragrance that’s sophisticated but still has warmth.
Lover Eau de Parfum
A creamy, milky sandalwood with bright citrus and black tea. It dries down to a beautiful leather. Definitely for those who want something comforting but a little different.
Moonmilk
Such a good one! It’s very cozy like a flannel shirt. Black tea and woods make this a fall essential. It’s warm but classy and very unisex.
Gris Charnel
This is a very popular scent and for good reason. It’s a bright citrusy, woodsy aromatic scent that just smells effortless and classy but lighthearted and fresh at the same time.
Byredo Bal D'afrique Eau de Parfum | Saks Fifth Avenue
A Little More Interesting
These perfumes have a little something else going on. The notes are a little more interesting but they are still beautifully crafted fragrances that will grab attention.
This smells like reading an old book next to a hot lamp shining golden light. I’m not sure how they were able to capture the scent of heat but they did it so perfectly. This perfume won’t be for everyone but it is a beautifully nostalgic scent that r...
Warm Bulb
70s rockstar girlfriend. This one smells like lipstick and vintage fur, it’s so cool. I can’t explain it you just have to smell for yourself lol! 💋
Girl of the Year | Thin Wild Mercury | Fine Fragrance
Masterpiece! This opens with a very fresh and almost spa-like citrus and green tea, but quickly becomes this weirdly comforting, art studio kind of scent. You’ll get soft, dusty clay and rice mixed with iris and lily that feel like freshly made potte...
Naked Dance
Picture freshly washed linen, but with a mineral quality . It opens with a green, crisp apple and freesia, then softens into a delicate floral. It dries down into a warm musk and woody amber.
Ceramic
There’s something really nostalgic about this one. It literally smells like fresh dryer sheets and sweet, fruity gum. Sounds weird but sits so pretty. It melts into the skin and just smells fresh with a bit of interesting sweetness.
