I collect perfumes in the way other people collect key chains, postcards or any other trinkets. I love stylish glass bottles and amber liquids. I love the way they evoke different times, places and people. Most importantly, I love discovering a new staple scent of scent that you know you’ll wear for many years to come.
Well, it’s not surprising that I’m passionate about the perfume I suggest. I often go back to the same person and recommend it over and over to anyone who can listen. Interestingly, you can Nordstrom. Forefront, see 17 of my tried and tested perfumes. (Some are being sold.)
Chloé
Fierce eau de parfum set
notes: Rose, strawberry, amber forest, Cashman, cedar
As long as I remember, I have always been a fan of Chloé fragrances. My mom wore the brand’s 1975 Eau de Hoidette throughout her childhood and since then I’ve associated the Chloé smell with elaboration. The new L’eau de Parfum Intense complies with the “Quiet Luxury” bill. It has a modern blend of fresh (non-powdered) rose, strawberry and amber woods that produces a soft, tempting and expensive smell. The entire team of people wearing beautiful clothes will swear, which is why we think this three-piece kit may sell out during Nordstrom’s anniversary sale. It includes a full-size bottle of Chloé’s L’Eau de Parfum Intense, as well as a travel-sized bottle and AA body lotion.
Rosie Jane
Leila Lou Eau de Parfum
notes: Pear, jasmine, freshly cut grass
Pear is an underrated perfume. It is essentially fresh, fruity and slightly aquatic, and it does glow in this scent and other aromas (Jasran and freshly cut grass). To me, the smell is light, fresh and breeze. It’s as carefree as summer, and as comforting as my favorite pair of worn jeans.
Double ty
Ilio Eau de Hoidette
notes: Cruciferous pear, bergamot, jasmine, iris
Inspired by the sun-dollar Mediterranean Ilio, meaning the Greek word for “sun”, is an elite summer smell. It’s a fruity perfume with notes of prickly pears, bergamot and jasmine that takes me to the seaside cliffs of golden hour. I could almost hear the waves crashing on the shore. I could almost feel the warm sunlight touching my skin. I could see the gleaming water stretching for miles.
Double ty
Water toilet
notes: White musk, steamed rice, mimosa, blonde wood
This is another fragrance I like in the iconic French perfume house – L’eau Papier Eau de Hoidette by Diptyque. With the flavor of white musk, rice, mimosa and blonde wood, it is inspired by blank paper. So it’s a scent of whispering rather than screaming. It is lightweight, clean and scented to remind me of fresh laundry or just developed skin. It inspires creativity, imagination and unlimited expression. Pure potential, bottled.
Tap
Giulietta eau de parfum
notes: Bulgarian rose, Ylang-ylange green apple, pink tulip, valley lily, Aris Palida, vanilla orchid, lilac, heliotrope, cedar wood, musk, musk, amber, Sandwood
Inspired by the Mediterranean island of Corsica, this smell can only be described in one word: exquisite. Thanks to floral scents such as Bulgarian roses, Ylang-ylang, tulips, lilies of the valley and lilac, this is a true floral scent with a crisp green apple on it. It is soft, fresh and whimsical, and is the perfect perfume for traditional female scent lovers.
Tom Ford
Coffee Rose Water Perfume and Travel Spray Gift Set
notes: Turkish rose, dark coffee, Ylang-ylange, coriander, broad patch fragrance, cardamom, fragrant resin, sandalwood
Imagine walking into a coffee shop full of fresh flowers. The bitterness of espresso beans combines with roses and delicious spiced baked goods. That’s Tom Ford’s cafe Ross Eru Palfam. Notes with Turkish roses, dark coffee and fragrant resin, this is moody, comfortable and luxurious, and I promise it is as pleasant as a warm cappuccino.
and labo
Matcha tea 26 eau de parfum
notes: Figs, bergamot, bitter orange, sesame, cedar, vetiver, matcha tea rolls.
If you prefer Matcha over coffee, you will love this scent of Le Labo. Fresh, green and Zen-like, don’t overwhelm the wearer. Instead, it lifts and highlights its natural odor. It is subtle and sophisticated, perfect for perfume minimalists.
Tom Ford
Vanilla sex eau de parfum
notes: Vanilla tin agent indian, vanilla absolute, sandalwood essence.
Since I can’t just choose one, I also recommend Tom Ford’s vanilla eau de parfum. This is one of my favorite Tom Ford fragrances in history. With two effective vanilla forms, as well as cream sandalwood, it is warm, stuffy and delicate. I think it’s intoxicating and you want to wear that scent on dates because it attracts people.
Byredo
No one’s absolute perfume land roses
notes: Saffron, black currant, pink pepper, black raspberry, peony, rose, patlouri, black amber, papyrus
If the traditional floral fragrance brings you a taste, please give it a try. Unlike the basic rose flavor, this aroma is deep, rich, complex and almost smoky due to the strong tones of saffron, pink pepper and wide patch fragrance. This is the perfume I want to wear for the dim jazz club or the NY Exclusive Party. You get it.
DS & Durga
deb
notes: Bergamot, green leaves, pear stems, figs, coconut milk, iris, blonde wood, tonka beans, moss
DS & Durga is known for its unique fun and low-key scent. This is no different. With some of my all-time favorite aromas like bergamot, pear and tonka beans, it smells fresh, herby and creamy. Inspired by “August Humidity”, “Music” and “Young Romance”, it’s the perfect fragrance for those who like to stand out ingeniously among the crowd.
Henry Rose
smyth eau de parfum
notes: Granny Smith apple, melon needle sorbet, apricot nectar, interstellar jasmine, white tea, transparent white wood, sandalwood, sand musk, layered musk, amber
It’s no secret that I’m fascinated by Henry Rose. Created by iconic actress Michelle Pfeiffer, the clean, gender-free fragrance brand combines incredible storytelling with a well-crafted scent. This one is called Smyth, a new found favorite. With a watery scent, like Granny Smith Apple and melon primer sorbet, plus apricot nectar, interstellar jasmine and white tea, it’s a fresh and juicy smell I’ll never get tired of.
Joe Marlon London
Wooden and sea salt Cologne duo
Like Henry Rose, Jo Malone is a fragrance brand that is almost never missed. I love its many scents, but the iconic woody sage and sea salt will always be at the top of my list. Fresh, clean and slightly aquatic, this fragrance is a must for anyone who wants to smell stylish and refined. Now you can stock it on it with this kit. It includes a full size and travel size bottle.
Phlur
Father character eau de parfum
notes: Wathlily, figs, Cassis Buds
I describe this scent as “green”. It’s lush and verdant, like bamboo buds covered with crumbs, it’s one of my favorite perfumes from the cool girl brand Phlur. This is also a favorite of Erin Jahns, a beauty director who wears what clothes. Enough to say.
Frédéric Malle
Portrait of ladies Palfam spray
notes: Rose, red fruit, cinnamon, benzo, aroma, pat patch, sandalwood, castrom
This iconic fragrance was released 15 years ago and it is still as important as ever. It’s a chypre scent, which means it falls into the perfume category that usually has citrus headwear, floral midtones, and moss or earthy bottom scents. It’s almost incredible. Apparently, 400 flowers entered a 100ml bottle. But don’t think that means it’s pleasing and overbearing. In fact, the opposite is true – male, surprisingly hermaphrodite.
Valentino
Donna
notes: Black Currant Protocol, Jasmine Flowers, Bourbon Vanilla
I think Donna of Valentino was born in Roma Eau de Parfum and is one of the most elegant designer fragrances money can buy. It features a dark juicy headdress of black currants, sweet flower middle notes of jasmine, and warm and rich basic notes of bourbon vanilla. Together these notes convey a soft power. This is a perfect homage to Rome, one of my favorite cities on Earth.
