Floral
Tears is a slightly aquatic floral scent. It has notes of lilac and rose water and also ambergris, which gives it that faint saltiness, making it smell like “princess tears”
TEARS - Régime des Fleurs
This is such a clean floral scent. Almost a little fruity? Super refreshing and well balanced.
Wild Poppy Eau de Parfum (50mL) - NEST New York
Will be buying a full bottle asap. I’m shocked at how realistic this scent is. Frangipani is such a naturally clean smelling flower. I’m surprised it’s not used in more perfumes. It’s perfect for an everyday summer perfume.
Frangipani | Ormonde Jayne
Clean
Beloved by so many in the perfume community. This scent is very clean like fresh warm laundry with floral and fruity undertones.
Valaya Eau de Parfum (75ml) - Parfums de Marly USA
Starts off very bubbly and fruity. But then when it settles you can really smell the vanilla and hints of caramel. Something about it reminds me of having a girls day with my mom and sisters when I was little.
Viva La Juicy La Fleur Juicy Couture for women - Fragrantica
Citrusy
Although this is sold as a cologne it definitely leans more unisex. Something about it is so nostalgic to me. The lime isn’t too overpowering. Perfect beachy vacation scent.
Bohemian Lime - Goldfield & Banks Luxury Fragrance - Eau de Parfum
Aquatic
Ever so slightly masculine leaning yet still sweet and dewy. The Harmonist is my all time favorite perfume brand and definitely worth the splurge. The quality of all of their products is unmatched. Beautiful scents and very long lasting.
Guiding Water | The Harmonist
Such a simple yet elegant and romantic scent. Like roses flowing through salty sea breeze air. Major princess vibes.
Rose SaltifOlia Maison Crivelli for women and men - Fragrantica
Definitely not the typical aquatic scent. With one of the base notes being matcha it makes this scent very unique compared to other aquatics.
CURRENT CULTURE - ROAN Fragrances
Fruity
One of Diptyque’s Best Sellers for good reason. This scent isn’t too overpowering, perfect for every day wear. Fig is one of the most underrated notes in my opinion. I wish more brands would incorporate it into their perfumes.
Philosykos Eau de Parfum | Diptyque Paris
The top note of peach really comes through but it’s not too sweet or overpowering and the peony balances so well with it. I can easily see this being someone’s signature scent. It’s feminine and a little edgy
Yellowstone Original Perfume - Tru Western
Gourmand
Gourmand scent of savory rice and warm soy milk with underlying notes of sweet taro, sandalwood and musk. The notes of rice and soy milk are oddly realistic and very layer-able. Pairs perfectly with notes of vanilla and jasmine
Taipei One Day perfume - a new fragrance for women and men 2023
Musky
The best beginner musk scent. Affordable and long lasting.
Amber Eau de Parfum - Nemat - Ulta Beauty
Spicy
Dupe of YSL’s BabyCat. Way cheaper and smells exactly the same. Leathery, saffron, black pepper, with a vanilla incense base note. Super sexy and yummy scent.
Rifaaqat Paris Corner perfume - a fragrance for women and men 2023
Earthy
One of Andrea Maack’s top selling perfumes. An eerie slightly metallic scent that makes you think of walking through an icy cold cedar wood forest in the middle of the night.
Andrea Maack CRAFT Edp - ANDREAMAACK.COM
Another one of Andrea Maack’s top selling perfumes. Coven is edgy and mysterious. Many people have described this scent as the way that the color dark green would smell. Extremely earthy with scents of wet soil and cedar wood, and a slightly sweet af...

Unconventional
Warm electric/staticky scent with vanilla undertones. I’ve never heard a bad thing about this perfume. Many find it to be a nostalgic and comforting scent. Nominated for the 2024 Art and Olfaction Award.
Warm Bulb - Clue Perfumery
This perfume is an ode to the addictive smell of gasoline. Mixed with florals it’s surprisingly a very wearable scent as it does dry down and become softer the longer it’s on the skin.
Dead Dinosaur Fragrance | Secret Menu | Nonoses Inc. DBA Snif
I’m on a mission to buy all of Oakchas discovery sets and I just got gifted their oud set. To me it smells like Kalamata olives and sunscreen when you first spray it and then it dies down and it becomes a lot softer and floral. I have very mixed feel...
Sand & Sea - Oakcha
For my orchestra lovers; Bowmakers smells exactly what it sounds like. Top notes include violin varnish and mahogany.
