🤍 CLEAN & EFFORTLESS
I really like this if you don't love overly sweet perfumes. It's fresh, airy and a little salty, and it gives me that effortless ‘just came back from the beach’ feeling.
Wood Sage And Sea Salt Cologne
This smells so clean and comforting to me. It reminds me of fresh sheets, soft skin and a really slow Sunday morning. I'd definitely wear this when I want something subtle and cozy.
Maison Margiela Replica Lazy Sunday Morning Unisex EDT
This is a really simple, soft musk that sits close to your skin. It's not loud at all, but it makes you smell really clean and put together. I think it's perfect if you don't want your perfume to enter the room before you do.
Rosie By / Rosie Jane for women and men
This is such an easy everyday perfume. It smells clean, soft and slightly musky, but it doesn't feel like you're wearing a really strong perfume. It's more like your natural scent, just somehow better.

This smells really feminine and romantic without feeling too old-fashioned. It's floral, pretty and polished, and I feel like it's one of those perfumes you can wear when you want to feel extra elegant.
Beli DIOR Miss Dior Eau De Parfum
I think this is such a pretty everyday floral. It's fresh and feminine but still has a little bit of confidence to it. It's the kind of perfume I'd recommend if you want something girly but not overly sweet.
This smells like a really elegant woman in the best way. It's fresh, floral and clean, with that beautiful rose feeling. It's very feminine but still sophisticated.

This is feminine but has a little more warmth and sweetness to it. I really like it when you want something pretty but still noticeable. It's definitely the kind of perfume I'd wear when I'm dressed up.
Paradoxe

This is the one I'd wear when I want to feel expensive and confident. It's warm, feminine and a little seductive without being too much. I think it's especially beautiful at night or for a date.
Libre Eau de Parfum Intense Women's Perfume
This one has that sweet-but-dark personality that I really like. It's feminine, sexy and a little dramatic. I'd definitely wear this when I want my perfume to be part of the outfit.

If you like vanilla but want something a little more grown-up, I'd try this. It's warm, sweet and sensual, but it still feels really polished. It's definitely giving date night.

This is definitely the mysterious one. It's warm, deep and slightly addictive, and I think it's perfect when you want something that feels a little darker and more seductive.
Dior Hypnotic Poison: Vanilla Sensual Eau de Toilette
🍒 SWEET & GOURMAND
This is sweet, dark and playful at the same time. The cherry makes it really fun, but there's something deeper underneath that makes it feel more seductive. It's definitely not a boring perfume.

If you love vanilla, you really need to smell this. It's warm, sweet and cozy without smelling like a basic vanilla body spray. I feel like this would get so many compliments.

This is sweet but has that darker coffee note that makes it feel a little more seductive. I think it's such a good nighttime perfume, especially if you like something that's noticeable but still feminine
Black Opium Eau De Parfum
💎 “SMELLS EXPENSIVE”
This is one of those perfumes where people actually notice what you're wearing. It's really distinctive and luxurious, and it has that ‘wait, what perfume is that?’ effect. Definitely a splurge, but I understand the hype.

This feels like luxury in a bottle. It's feminine, elegant and very pretty, but there's enough depth to stop it from feeling too sweet. I'd wear this when I want to feel really dressed up.
