Kayali Fragrances

If I had to choose one brand of perfume to keep in my collection, it would definitely be Kayali! They have a variety of fragrances and there’s something for everyone! I think the bottles are very aesthetic too :)

This is one of the best cherry perfumes I’ve tried! It’s a mature and sexy cherry perfume. This is my go-to date night fragrance. This was gifted to me by my boyfriend and he was a big fan of this!
KAYALI LOVEFEST BURNING CHERRY | 48 Eau de Parfum
 
Sarah profile picture
There is a reason this is a fan favorite! This is one of my newer perfumes in my collection and I’m already in love with it! It has notes of champagne, sandalwood, and nectarine. It really is a timeless fragrance!
KAYALI THE WEDDING SILK SANTAL | 36 Eau de Parfum
 
Sarah profile picture
This is an amazing perfume! It smells like a sugary lemon with vanilla. Some of the other notes are lemon blossom, freesia, and raspberry. It’s beautiful! I think this is a perfect summer perfume because it’s sweet and fruity!
CAPRI IN A BOTTLE LEMON SUGAR | 14 Eau de Parfum - KAYALI
 
Sarah profile picture
If I had to choose one perfume to be the face of Kayali it would be this one! It’s popular for a reason. It’s a very mature vanilla and not overly sweet! This deserves the hype it gets! If you’re looking for a vanilla fragrance that isn’t super sweet...
KAYALI VANILLA | 28 Eau de Parfum

I have grown to really like this perfume. If I’m being totally honest, I wasn’t in love at first smell with this perfume. My mom is a big perfume lover like I am, and she had this in her collection first. I remember smelling it when she first got it ...
KAYALI YUM PISTACHIO GELATO | 33 Eau De Parfum Intense
 
Sarah profile picture
This is a fruity and sweet perfume. It’s light, girly, and so pretty! It has notes of lychee, violet, and vanilla. This perfume is so underrated in my opinion!!
KAYALI EDEN SPARKLING LYCHEE | 39 Eau de Parfum
 
Sarah profile picture
SO GOOD! It’s very sweet and if you like sweet perfumes this is for you! It has notes of vanilla cream, rock sugar, bubble gum and candied pear. The bottle is gorgeous too.
KAYALI VANILLA CANDY ROCK SUGAR | 42 Eau de Parfum

Definitely one of my all time favorites! It’s sweet and I feel very girly when I wear this. It has notes of marshmallow, vanilla, and strawberry. If you like super sweet scents, you’ll love this!
YUM BOUJEE MARSHMALLOW | 81 Eau de Parfum Intense - KAYALI

YSL Fragrances

YSL is a solid brand for perfume! I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve tried from them. Excited to see what other perfumes they release!

Black Opium Eau de Parfum Over Red - Women's Perfume

This is another fragrance I wear whenever it’s date night! It has notes of orange blossom and lavender. It’s another classic! It definitely has more mature vibes and I can see myself wearing this to a fancy dinner. It’s a very classy perfume.

KILIAN Paris Love, Don't Be Shy Eau de Parfum with Vanilla & Marshmallow
 
Sarah profile picture
This is another good one by kilian! It’s light and sweet and not overpowering. It has notes of marshmallow, ginger, and green tea. It definitely has more depth than just being a “sweet” perfume
KILIAN Paris Princess Eau de Parfum with Vanilla & Ginger

Phlur Fragrances

Phlur can be hit or miss for me but these are ones I recommend that I will purchase over and over again!
 
Sarah profile picture
My favorite Phlur fragrance! It reminds me a little bit of Burberry Her Intense but a little sweeter. It has notes of strawberry gariguette, cassiss leaf, and apple blossom
Strawberry Letter Perfume
 
Sarah profile picture
Love this body mist! It’s light and sweet with notes of dragon fruit, sandalwood, vanilla, pineapple, and watermelon. This is a really good body mist to wear during summer!
Dragon Fruit Body Mist - Full Size
 
Sarah profile picture
This is definitely one of the best perfumes that Phlur has! It’s a woodier vanilla and not overly sweet! I think it’s probably their most popular fragrance and there’s a reason it is. This is a great autumn fragrance because it smells very cozy! It h...
Vanilla Skin Perfume & Body Mist

The 7 Virtues Fragrances

This is considered a clean brand and I think the 7 virtues is very underrated! 

 
Sarah profile picture
This was one of the first perfumes I was given and I love it more every time I wear it! The key notes are pear, rose, and vanilla. This is another one of my perfumes that wear daily. There’s also an aromatherapy aspect to it and it’s supposed to be c...
The 7 Virtues Vanilla Woods Eau de Parfum

Skylar Fragrances

I love that this is a clean brand! I’m very eager to try other perfumes from this brand!
 
Sarah profile picture
This is my everyday perfume. It’s sweet, light, and not too strong. It has notes of vanilla, coconut milk, and cotton candy. I imagine this smelling like walking down a boardwalk near a cotton candy shop and a bunch of other sweet treat shops. So pre...
Skylar Boardwalk Delight Eau de Parfum

Givenchy Fragrances

I only have one Givenchy perfume, but it is definitely one of my favorites! I will be on the lookout to try some others by them.

 
Sarah profile picture
This is definitely a top 5 perfume to me! I had to buy a big bottle! This is one of the first perfumes I bought for myself and it’s still a favorite! It’s very unique and I don’t have anything that smells like it. It has notes of orange bloosom, jasm...

Viktor&Rolf

I only own one perfume from this brand, but my mom has some other variations of flower bomb and they are all very good!
 
Sarah profile picture
This perfume is addicting. I don’t typically gravitate towards straight floral perfumes, but this is just too good! Some of the notes are freesia, rose, and jasmine. One of my least favorite notes is rose, but it totally works in this perfume. If I d...
Viktor&Rolf - Flowerbomb Eau de Parfum

Lancôme

This brand makes so many good perfumes! These are my favorites and ones that I’ll always have in my collection.

This perfume is so pretty! Mom originally had this perfume and then she gave it to me because I loved it so much! It has notes of iris Padilla, vanilla, patchouli, and spun sugar.
Lancôme - La Vie Est Belle Eau de Parfum
 
Sarah profile picture
This perfume is actually perfect. I remember the first time I smelled this and I was instantly in love. It smells like dark chocolate and raspberries. It’s amazing!! A couple sprays also go a long way!

High end fragrance dupes :)

My favorite place to get dupes for high end fragrances is dossier ;) I love the bottles and the magnetic caps! I also love that they show the notes on the bottle!
 
Sarah profile picture
This is a great dupe for Kilian’s love don’t be shy perfume which is my favorite perfume ever! They smell almost identical! I would say the marshmallow note is more prominent in this and the orange blossom note is more prominent in love don’t be shy....
Kilian Love, Don't Be Shy Dupe Perfume: Floral Marshmallow
 
Sarah profile picture
This is a really good dupe for YSL libre! They smell very similar. I love YSL libre but it is a little pricey so I got this to wear when I wanted to smell like libre so I could save libre for special occasions.
YSL Libre Dupe Perfume: Floral Lavender

I was pleasantly surprised by this perfume! I blind bought this and have never tried jimmy choo I want choo but I’m so glad I got it! The notes looked like they would be good and I was not disappointed!
Powdery Peach - Jimmy Choo's I Want Choo Dupe Perfume

This is a great dupe for Tom Ford’s Lost Cherry perfume. It’s a mature cherry fragrance that isn’t super sweet or medicinal. So if you love lost cherry but don’t want to spend $600 (I definitely don’t), try this one from fine’ry!
