floral fragrances 🌷

My favorite fragrances that have prominent use of floral notes derived from flowers like roses, jasmine, lilies, etc. I like to wear these when I’m feeling super girly and pretty -like a flower!

After smelling almost all of Sephora’s perfume inventory, I settled on buying this travel size for my purse and believe it is the perfect everyday floral. It features prominent notes of tuberose, jasmine, and Rangoon creeper.
GUCCI Bloom Perfume

Another sample of mine that I was shocked to love is this warm and spicy fragrance with key notes of coffee, vanilla, and white flowers. It can be considered both a gourmand and a floral, which is most likely why I like it so much.

This is the first fragrance that I bought on my own just a few days before my 25th birthday that made me feel like “yup, I’m grown and I’m that girl”. The fresh baked red velvet, juicy pear nectar, and a pop of tart raspberry notes are warm and sweet...

While this perfume has layers of vanilla balanced with caramel, pistachio, ginger, and sandalwood, I do get a very subtle floral note from it reminding me of my two favorite florals (Miss Dior and Gucci Bloom). I realized there are a few ingredients ...

I would’ve listed these separately, but I truly feel like they’re best layered together. For me, the pistachio is too strong on it’s own & the blend of both is the perfect gourmand scent for when you want to smell all things yummy and delicious.

This blend of pistachio, nutty, and almond top notes, with a heart of marshmallow, sugar, and rhum, and a base of vanilla, brown sugar, and cream is one of my favorites to wear and layer. It’s similar to wearing the Kayali Yum duo, but more of an eve...

While newer to fruity scents, I appreciate that they include citrus scents like lemon and orange, or berries like strawberries, and love when they’re couples with florals or vanilla notes. I prefer these during the summer or when I want to smell fres...
