This has literally become one of my favorite perfumes hands down. I get so many compliments with this one. I actually have to remind myself that I have other perfumes. It contains violet, sandalwood, amber, and cedarwood.

This is a fan favorite for a reason. It smells so good. Whenever in doubt, I can reach for this and get compliments. There's a reason that so many women have purchased this and continue to buy it again. It contains bourbon vanilla and blackcurrant.
Donna Born In Roma Eau de Parfum - Valentino

This is such a pretty scent. It not my typical scent profile, because it's powdery. However, I've literally been followed (safely) by a woman outside to find out what I was wearing. It's ultra feminine and girly in nature. It contains pear, lychee, v...

Rihanna doesn't miss!!! This is an unexpected heavy hitter. The combination dries down so well and is such a beautiful scent. It adds a warm sultriness to my collection. It has musk, bulgarian rose, tangerine, and patchouli.
Fenty Eau de Parfum

This is an exotic scent with bergamot, violet, and moroccan cedarwood that comes across as a spicy floral. I don't have another perfume quite like this. It lasts approximately 6 hours, and I love it for when I wanted an “different” scent for the day/...
Bal D'Afrique Eau de Parfum

This perfume makes me feel luxurious. You can't tell me that I don't smell sexy and rich with this scent. It has orange, lavender, and musk. I will continue to repurchase this scent.

This is my absolute favorite Loewe perfume. It's so light and feminine and flora. Notes include jasmine, amber, vanilla, orange, sandalwood, and grapefruit. If you're going to splurge with a Loewe perfume, this is the one.

This is an amazing everyday scent. It's very fruity with its notes of amber, peach, apple, and neroli. It's flirty without doing too much. You can definitely wear it daily and make it your signature scent.

I love this Phlur scent, because it's so flirty. It legit does smell like strawberries. I love to layer this with other perfumes to add a new element to my scent combinations. I personally layer this a lot with my Mojave Ghost.
Strawberry Letter Eau de Parfum - PHLUR | Sephora

As a citrus lover, this is a major dupe for Vilhelm Mango Skin!!! There's so much more volume for the price. So if you've been considering Mango Skin, just pick this up instead for under $40.

If you're into skin scents, this is the one for you. It's very soft and definitely reminds me of something I'd wear if it's just me and my bae cuddling. I also wear this to sleep, because it sets the mood. The notes include vanilla, sandalwood, and m...

This is the MFK perfume that's not talked enough about. It's a fruity floral with amber, lemon, pear, and amyris. It's feminine and lasts about 6 hours. This can become a personal/signature scent for anyone that's on the search for a new profile.
