I received this as a gift and now it’s already on my birthday list for next year!!! I get sooo many compliments every single time I wear it. What I love most is I don’t even feel the need to layer it with anything else—it’s the perfect stand-alone sc...

I first discovered this scent when I bought it from Holt Renfrew — my very first introduction to Diptyque. And let me tell you, it’s definitely made my list of favourites! What I love most is how versatile it is — it works beautifully all year round...

I discovered this scent in 2023 and instantly fell in love. It’s become a favourite not just for me, but among my friendship circle too — whenever one of us wears it, we immediately call it out. The fragrance feels fresh, feminine, and uplifting — ...

I added this scent to my lineup this summer and it was perfect for the season. This scent is soft, fresh, and feminine without being overpowering. The peony, rose, and orange blossom give it a bright floral start, and as it settles the sandalwood and...
Wren Peony Blanc Eau de Parfum

So, this isn’t your regular vanilla. It’s warm and cozy but with a little spice and edge. You get that soft sweetness, but then it shifts with coffee and amber that make it deeper and sexier. Unisex, modern, and perfect for cooler nights when you wan...

My daughter loves this one, and honestly I get why. It’s sweet at first with sugar and pink pepper, then softens into warm vanilla and creamy woods. It’s cozy, modern, and such an easy everyday scent. She loves it and I wear it as well. I would say i...
PHLUR Vanilla Skin Eau De Parfum
 
Catherine Addai profile picture
Tried this scent after the quiz recommended it—soft white florals up front, then it settles into warm leather and musk. Cozy, a little edgy, and not overly sweet. That combo makes it feel more mature, without making it feel heavy or overpowering. It’...
Nostalgia Mama Eau De Parfum

I got the cologne and candle for my birthday and I’m obsessed. It’s fresh and airy, like salty sea breeze mixed with sage and soft woods. What I love most is that it’s unisex—my husband wears it too and it smells amazing on him. It’s definitely on th...
Wood Sage & Sea Salt Cologne
 
Catherine Addai profile picture
My forever classic! This perfume takes me way back — I first started wearing it in Grade 12. It was the very first expensive perfume I ever bought for myself, and I loved it so much I’d even drive to Buffalo just to grab it for cheaper 🫣. To this da...

For Him - My Husband’s Faves

 
Catherine Addai profile picture
A classic! This one feels bold, spicy, and vintage in the best way — like a timeless barbershop with a warm, leathery twist. It’s unapologetically masculine and mature, yet still so wearable today. What I love most is that it’s a highly versatile vin...

This is one of my fave scents on my husband. It’s bold, warm, and lasts all day with just a couple sprays. Sweet with a touch of smokiness — like vanilla and spice wrapped in something cozy and rich. Perfect for fall and winter nights. On him, it’s c...
Montale Paris Arabians Tonka

This is one of my husband’s scents for major events, and it truly makes a statement. It starts off fresh, then settles into a warm, smoky elegance that feels refined and unforgettable. It’s quiet luxe — powerful without being loud. Definitely on the ...
Crown Collection Matsukita Perfume

I gifted this to the men in our friends group for Father’s Day this year and it was a total hit! It opens with a little spice, then settles into warm amber and creamy tonka. Smooth, slightly sweet, and honestly smells like a luxe designer scent witho...
Bath & Body Works

This is one of those cozy, easy everyday scents I truly love on my husband. It opens with fresh lavender but quickly settles into a warm, woodsy vibe—mahogany and teakwood give it that clean, masculine feel that’s grounded and inviting. Think “borrow...

I really like this scent — it’s warm, smooth, and has that cozy, sweet vanilla with a spicy edge that makes it feel luxe without the price tag. I even wear it myself sometimes, and it works beautifully. It leans slightly masculine at first spray, but...

I originally picked this up for my husband and brother-in-law, but I’ve worn it too—even though it isn’t marketed as unisex. Absolu Aventus has that classic Aventus pineapple-citrus freshness but with more spice and smoky wood, which makes it feel de...
