10 Must Have Fragrances For Women In 2023
Yves Saint Laurent Libre Eau De Parfum
YSL perfumes are repeating the the ideology of women’s independence and freedom. YSL Libre meaning freedom is the latest collection line of new fragrances from Saint Laurent himself. This is a very empowering and airy scent. In addition, it’s composed of lavender, vanilla, orange blossom and musk. The musk adds a great contrast and depth. It’s not a floral scent but still on a warm, refreshing, and sweet note. This fragrance is number one on my list of perfumes. Perfect for all ages and I prefer to wear it either during Spring or Summer.
Carolina Herrera Good Girl Eau De Parfum
Good Girl by Carolina Herrera is number two most favorite fragrance! First, let’s talk about the packaging! It’s just genius, and why till this day no one thought of creating such a stunning “shoe” design for fragrances? It’s jus a perfect part of decoration for the interior, totally a statement piece!
Good Girl top notes are almond, coffee, bergamot and lemon. And some of the middle notes are orange blossom, cacao, jasmine sambac, musk, and vanilla. This fragrance is spicy and musky, but at the same time sweet and feminine! It creates such an overpowering trail and even days after you spray it on a garment, it leaves an amazing sensual hint.
Tom Ford Electric Cherry Eau De Parfum
This is the newest Tom Ford fragrance from their line of cherry fragrances. The most prominent Tom Ford Fragrance is the Lost Cherry fragrance. But, that fragrance is not a scent that most young girls or women would lean too since it’s super musky, spicy and the cherry note is very bold.
Perfect for spring, super long-lasting and not too overwhelming. Electric cherry is fruity and sweet and not too overpowering cherry notes. Associations of this warming scent are very pleasant. Top notes are morello cherry, jasmine sambac, and musk. The scent starts with cherry, liquor and musk and then fades to the jasmine sambac on a sweet and airy note. Not a cheap fragrance but definitely wheat every penny because one spray goes a long way.
Gucci Guilty Pour Femme Eau de Toilette
Perhaps, this might be the only Gucci fragrance on my list, because it’s the only one that fits into the category of airy and refreshing but with a sweet base!
The top notes are mandora, pink pepper, lilac, and patchouli. And the best description of this fragrance is alluring, sophisticated and seducing.
Giorgio Armani Acqua Di Gioia Eau De Parfum
My all time favorite perfume that I’ve been wearing for the last decade! It’s my signature scent, and honestly not planning to change it, I will never get over it. Top notes are Amalfi lemon and mint. Some middle notes are jasmine, peony, and pink pepper. It’s definitely an airy, refreshing and aquatic fragrance that doesn’t even feature any marine components. Definitely recommend to anyone who likes something fresh and not too sweet. Suits a modern woman, perfect for anytime of the year, and just perfect for everyday use!
Oscar De La Renta Bella Rose Eau De Parfum
The is another favorite of all times, and I always repurchase it after it empties. When I was pregnant with the second one I couldn’t use any perfume at all even the ones that were my tops favorite and, most ironically, but Bella Rose perfume was the only one that I could handle.
Top notes are roses and jasmine. Middle notes are amber, sandalwood and patchouli. This is the most beautiful rose scent out there. It’a very flirty, floral, and girly but yet it has a perfect balance of floral and fresh that’s not too powdery. If you have never tried this perfume, I’d say its a safe blind buy.
Valentino Donna Born in Roma Eau De Parfum
The most luxurious, feminine, and sensual fragrance. The day I bought it, I was constantly sniffing myself. Which means that this is just pure love. That one spray is just enough for the rest of the day and even after the entire day or couple days later you will still smell it on the clothing, which is very impressing.
The top notes are pink pepper, bergamot and black currant. Middle notes are sambac jasmine, jasmine, and jasmine tea. The combination of these components creates woody, floral and fresh scent. Woody scents are typically not what I go for, however not in this case, the smell just grew on me each time I wore it and smelled it.
Jo Malone London English Pear and Freesia Cologne Spray
Jo Malone London fragrances are so beautiful, and are mostly loved by the celebrities and bloggers. All fragrances by Jo Malone are interchangeable and you can create a combination of multiple scents at once.
Some of the key notes are King William pear, freesia and patchouli. It’s definitely a Spring and Summer fragrance for me although it’s marketed as an Autumn perfume. Pears aren’t even my favorite fruits, but somehow this fragrance became my favorite, its an absolute perfection. It’s super long-lasting compared to other fragrances from this collection.
Chanel Chance Eau Tendre Eau De Toilette
Perhaps, this is the only fragrance that I love from the entire Chanel fragrance collection. Some of the top notes are quince and grapefruit. Also, rose, jasmine, and white musk. This combination creates a very feminine, sophisticated and classy scent. Chanel Chance Eau Tendre is floral but on the other hand, it’s not too sweet at all. Such combination is hard to find, so that is why this fragrance is on this list. Sometimes, when you want to make a first impression this is definitely the one!
Coach New York Eau de Parfum
Coach New York fragrance smells very sensuous and mature, and the musky and woody tones blend in amazingly with the freshly ripe pears. The top notes for this one are raspberry leaf, pink pepper and pear, also Turkish rose. Turkish rose is the best component here.
