Musky, woodsy scents

These musky, woodsy scents all have undertones of either sandalwood or cedar which I absolutely love! This is what I gravitate to most!

This perfume is delish. It’s a warm vanilla base with undertones of apricot and floral hints. It is strong in the beginning of my day, but does wear off eventually. It’ll last the majority though. Perfect for those who love that woodsy vanilla scent.

My first luxury fragrance purchase. It’s god a soft sandalwood base with hints of citrus and floral undertones. It’s unisex and very strong. A little goes a long way! This will last me through the whole workday. My number 1.

Talk about luxurrrrry! This is the one Taylor Swift allegedly wears and smells really good! It kinda almost has a whiskey-like smell to it, but in a good, clean way. Recommend trying it out!

Sweet and rich scents

I’m not a huge sweet scent person, but these are pretty lovely when I want to switch it up. So if they’re on here, they’re pretty good!

Delish!!! It smells like a caramel cookie with vanilla. I love that you can purchase the travel set and it comes with a rollerball and a mini spritzer. It’s a fantastic perfume from Selena!

It’s a very sweet fragrance. Doesn’t last super long but I really liked wearing it. Has notes of vanilla and citrus and is pretty affordable. I think it’s more of a younger person scent, so probably tailored towards late teens but anyone could really...

A beautiful citrusy floral scent that is long lasting and feels mature. The bottle is gorgeous and has been lasting me a while, despite me using it daily. This whole line by Chanel is fantastic!

Citrus undertones 🍊

I loveee a good citrusy undertone! Anything with hints of orange or grapefruit, I’m obsessed 😍

Ok this one is SO GOOD. I think it smells very similar to my Tom Ford Soleil Blanc perfume, but still has a unique undertone. It has sandalwood and citrusy vibes. Perfect for daily wear or a night out!

This one is sooo luxe for me! One of my first expensive perfumes and it has lasted me well. If you can’t tell, I love citrusy undertones and dark scents. You only need a very small amount of this for a strong wear and it lasts so long!
