18
items I'm a huge perfume lover, and here I'm sharing my favorite perfume category: The ones that are strong, rich, sophisticated... perfumes for real life femme fatales.
Obsessed with this scent. So sophisticated and sexy
Café Rose Eau de Parfum | TOM FORD BEAUTY
My favorite perfume of all time, both men and women go crazy for it. It smells so rich, classy, and like obsession in a bottle. It projects hugely and it is ETERNAL.
ARMANI/PRIVÉ ROSE D'ARABIE Eau de parfum intense
Very dark feminine and sexy, business woman sophisticated. Tip: Pair it with Jo Malone English Pear & Freesia to add a juicy and bright fruity opening that cuts through the dark, balsamic resin of myrrh, resulting in a perfectly balanced, addicti...
Myrrh & Tonka Cologne Intense • Mini Candle Trio, On Us
Such a dark and deep cherry perfume. Honestly better than Tom Ford Lost Cherry
my Geisha Cherry Yumm - Extrait de Parfum – mygeisha.com
This smells like pure sophisticated sexiness. Strong, sweet but sophisticated.
Angels' Share - Perfume - The Liquors | KILIAN PARIS
There’s something about this perfume that men can’t resist.
Scarlet Poppy Cologne Intense | Jo Malone London
Will always be a boss bit*h perfume
LIBRE Eau De Parfum - YSL Beauty
It was Rita Hayworth's signature perfume for a reason. One of the most legendary femme fatales of that era deserves her perfume on this list.
Shalimar ⋅ Eau De Parfum ⋅ GUERLAIN
We all heard about how Rihanna smells like heaven itself from many different sources. Since she is one of the greatest femme fatales of our era, and I personally confirmed this perfume is addictive and drives men crazy, it goes on this list.
Love, don't be shy The Narcotics
A classic, legendary dark and sexy perfume
YVES SAINT LAURENT Black Opium Eau de Parfum Vaporisateur
Another dark feminine sophisticated perfume for boss women. Wear at your own risk, very addictive!
L'Interdit Eau de Parfum Intense Givenchy for women
This one (and the Coco Chanel one) is significantly less strong and dyzzing as the other perfumes from this list, but still very powerful and seductive due to its feminine yet dark rose scent.
Rose Of No Man's Land Eau de Parfum: 50 ml
Coco Chanel Mademoiselle is one of the rare perfumes from this list that is a more bright, gentle floral/citrusy perfume and not a strong, intoxicating perfume like the rest, however it absolutely deserves its place here as it drives men completely CRAZY. This is the one that got me the most compliments.
Coco Mademoiselle - Cologne & Fragrance
This is like a powdery musky cloud. I first considered it putting it a powdery princess list.. however, there’s something deep and dark about this Musk perfume that it made me put it on this list 🥀
Perfumes | Scent Family | Musky - my Geisha – mygeisha.com
I love layering this one, it’s sp version. It’s dark feminine and spicy by itself, bit add a bit of florals and there will be crazy dimension.
Jo Malone London | Complimentary Deluxe Mini*
Men go crazy, period.
Poison Girl Eau de Parfum Women's Perfume | Dior US
Men go even crazier than with poison girl.
Dior Hypnotic Poison: Vanilla Sensual Eau de Toilette
I literally don’t have words for this one. It such a hot smokey vanilla, with a spicy touch of cinnamon, cardamom etc. the best vanilla perfume out there.
TOM FORD Tobacco Vanille Eau de Parfum 50ML
