Finding a perfume you actually love can be hard when they all start smelling the same after a while. These are some of my favorite perfumes and body mists, with a mix of fresh, floral, warm, and vanilla scents. I included different kinds of perfumes so you can find one that fits what you actually like, whether you want something light and clean for everyday or something sweeter and warmer for going out. I also added what each one smells like and how strong or long-lasting it is, so you have a better idea of what you’re getting before you buy it.

SHEIN is honestly one of my favorite places to look when I’m trying to find something specific without spending a ton.

I feel like it’s especially good when you have an outfit in mind but don’t want to spend $30+ on one piece.
