You may have your style, makeup, hair, and accessories all figured out, but do you have a signature scent? If not, here are my top perfumes that'll have you turning heads everywhere you go.




Chanel - Chance Eau Tendre



















Chanel Chance is the perfect mix of fresh, fruity and floral. Keynotes include citron, jasmine, and teakwood. It is a long lasting scent that will linger soft-floral fruitiness.




Lancôme - Idôle

















Idôle is by far one of my favorite perfumes from Lancôme. It is a classic floral scent with keynotes of jasmine, rose, and clean chypre. Although floral, it still gives off a modern smell with slight bursts of citrus. It is also made from sustainably sourced ingredients.



Jo Malone - English Pear & Fressia



















This is the ultimate fragrance for the autumn season. Once again, in the fruity and floral category, this scent has keynotes of pear, patchouli, and freesia. Perfectly sweet yet fresh is the best way to describe this scent. You will get tons of compliments with this one.



Jo Malone - Wood Sage & Sea Salt




















If you're more of a woodsy and fresh aquatic fragrance lover, then this one is for you. I adore this scent as it is genderless. Although it gives off a more masculine smell, anyone can wear it. This fragrance has key notes of ambrette seeds, sea salt, and sage. Wearing this will leave you smelling like an earthy sea shore filled with freshness.



Gucci - Bamboo
















Gucci Bamboo is femininity at its finest! A warm floral scent with keynotes of Italian bergamot, Casablanca lily, and sandalwood. It has a contrasting soft and intense vibe. I strongly recommend this fragrance for the spring season.



Christian Dior - Oud Ispahan






















One word - long-lasting. Oud Ispahan is a very sensual and oriental perfume. With keynotes of rose, labdanum, patchouli, and agarwood. This perfume is ideal for a night out; it ought to get you plenty of attention.



Le Labo - Santal 33




















Santal 33 is the quintessential unisex scent. A woody, aromatic fragrance that encompasses a variety of warm spicy accords. The keynotes include sandalwood, papyrus, leather, and cardamom. With a muskier and darker tone, this fragrance fits excellently into the colder seasons.



Maison Francis Kurkdjian Paris - Baccarat Rouge 540




















Baccarat Rouge 540 is a very deep oriental floral and almost royal perfume. A dreamy, elegant, and feminine combo with keynotes of jasmine, saffron, cedarwood, and ambergris. It is more on the overpowering side, but if you want to make a statement, this will do it.
