Read More »To help you start your scent journey on a high note, we reviewed the best perfumes for women to create this list of 15 for floral fanatics, spice sensationalists, celebrity fragrance collectors, and more. Here's a hint: Chanel Coco Mademoiselle Eau de Parfum takes the top spot for best overall thanks to its universal appeal. Finding your signature scent is kind of like hunting for the perfect pair of shoes — there are tons of choices available in fancy packaging that might match certain moods or occasions. And you'll have to kiss a lot of proverbial frogs (or sniff some unpleasant scents) to get your Cinderella moment. But choosing your go-to perfume doesn't have to be a royal hassle, as there are easy ways (more on that at the end) to pinpoint the one that is the right fit for your needs. Looking for a compact perfume that won't take up too much space — or spill— in your travel bag? Then look no further, this perfume solid is not only portable, but also brings a creamy, warm, and undeniably sexy aroma right to your neck and wrists. We love that this perfume solid allows you to control how much fragrance you apply, and that it falls right under $40 with a refill option, so you can use it again and again to your heart's content. Let's be real: it's impossible to shop for fragrances and not stumble upon celebrity scents. It's the new Sketchers collaboration of the early aughts. While Britney Spears, Billie Eilish, and Dolly Parton have scents we love, we had to name Ariana Grande as the winner for the celeb category. Why? This scent is suitable for everyday-wear and a wide range of scent preferences thanks to a blend of clean, sweet, and sultry notes. The top is bright and fresh with lavender, pear, and bergamot, then it fades to a coconut, praline, and musk finish. Oh, and we can't go without mentioning the bottle — the dreamy light blue and cloud design is eye candy for your vanity. As it's free of phthalates, parabens, sulfates, and synthetic dyes, this is one clean scent to nab if you're looking for perfumes that cut down on the filler ingredients. However, being 'clean' doesn't mean this fragrance is weak or that it fades quickly — it packs a powerful punch of fresh pear, rose, and sustainably-sourced vanilla. Overall, it's warm and romantic, and its vanilla note is not overly sweet (like that suspect candle you were gifted last Christmas). Phew. Rollerballs are a great choice when you want to target your perfume application and an oil takes that concept to the next level. "This blend is like spring in a bottle, with all the lusty, blossoming excitement the season brings," says InStyle deputy editor Lauren Norkin. "The sandalwood and jasmine is floral in a bursting-from-the-ground way. It's made with essential oils and a fractionated coconut oil base which helps it cling to the skin and stick with you all day, rather than wafting around you in a cloud. The brand promises a burst of confidence and a sense of romance, and I have to say I'd agree." There's no denying this earthy scent is a daytime delight, as it's crisp, clean, and inviting. That being said, whether you wear it to work or Sunday brunch with the family, rest assured it won't be too overpowering or headache-inducing. We love the fragrance's combination of frankincense and sweet musks, making it equal parts earthy and warm. Even better is that it's unisex, so don't be surprised if your S.O. ends up borrowing it from time to time. We like to call this scent the date clincher. Wear it on a first (or second) date and that person will be calling ASAP to ask you on the next one. Why? The opening note is coffee — and I know that scent sure brings a smile to my face. Then it melts into a sophisticated vanilla and white flower layer. It's easy to liken it to the LBD tucked in your closet — it's sleek, iconic, and too intriguing to resist. However, sexiness is not this fragrance's only strong suit. The warm gourmand and spicy combo is well-balanced enough to make a memorable impression without being cloying. Need a quick burst of clean during the workday? You're in luck — this bergamot, peony, and amber-filled scent is a great pick-me-up worth adding to your bag, as it's light, airy, and boasts staying power. It has that freshly laundered sheets on a spring day with the windows open kinda vibe, but in the best way possible as it's neither too musky nor overpowering. The layer of peony and amber keep it from being too citrusy or light, so this scent is appropriate for all seasons and hours of the day. While this scent isn't as complex as other fragrances, its singular note still packs a punch. Cetalox, the single note, is typically used in perfumery as a base note to create a musky amber layer. Due to its simplicity, it's a great choice for minimalists who want a fuss-free scent, or for those who like to layer scents together to create a unique fragrance blend. Even better is that it's also hypoallergenic, so it's a must try for sensitive wearers, too. The single note makes this a polarizing perfume — you'll either love or hate it — but it's definitely worth a sniff.

Read More »When you hear fruit, you might associate it with sweet. But that's not always the case. This scent cleverly utilizes fresh fig instead of traditional fruit notes to create its unique blend. And when combined with jasmine and vanilla planifolia, the overall result is a beautiful summer-ready aroma that is light, flirty, and warm — kinda like your favorite sun dress. FYI: this fragrance also meets Sephora's Clean and Planet Positive standards, so it's another must-have for clean beauty enthusiasts. A fragrance that's recommended by an expert nose is a surefire bet. "This daytime fragrance screams summer with hints of dusty citrus and spice," says Kristin Scott, master perfumer and founder of ATUM Fragrance . "Any wearer is sure to radiate power and confidence no matter what their day has in store for them." If unique and woody scents are what you're after, then this fragrance is worth adding to your wishlist. Think of chestnuts roasting on an open fire? It's not surprising, after all, it is reminiscent of just that thanks to clove oil, chestnut and vanilla accord notes. While it starts off strong with spicy top notes, it eventually dries down to its sweet vanilla base, making it intriguing from start to finish. Bonus: the unisex scent is appreciated by all genders. This floral perfume is a powerhouse and anything but meek. The seductive mix of tuberose, jasmine, and tonka bean is floral, but not in a little girl way. Name aside, this scent is all woman and sexy with a capital S. "This is one of those floral fragrances that makes a statement," says Shannon M. Bauer , senior commerce beauty editor at InStyle. "It's sweet but has a dark, warm layer that keeps it sophisticated. It's my go-to date perfume and I always get compliments on it. Plus, I'm a sucker for a good bottle and the high heel shape is top-of-the-vanity worthy." Strong, musky, and oh-so mysterious, this fragrance is worth the splurge if you're looking for a scent for all the special occasions on your calendar. After all, its blend of black cherry, tonka bean, and almond notes give it a liqueur-like aroma that isn't too sweet or off-putting. Plus, if you're after vanity candy, this bottle is surely going be the main attraction on your perfume tray. Thanks to an energizing blend of pistachio, jasmine petals, vanilla, and sandalwood, this sunny fragrance is like a summer vacation in a bottle, sans the sunblock. We love that it's affordable and can be used on the hair, body, and even clothing whenever you need a refreshening boost. Overall, it's flirty and beachy without being too overpowering, making it a great pick for those who love sweet summer scents in a less potent formula than a eau de parfum. Timeless, yet still youthful, you really can't go wrong with this Chanel scent and it's easy to see why. Unlike its superstar big sister Chanel N°5, Mademoiselle is suitable for everyday wear thanks to an alluring blend of orange, patchouli, and Turkish rose. While it does start off strong and pungent with a deep, musky floral aroma, we love that it eventually unfolds to a subtle, warm patchouli over time. Just an FYI, like other perfumes on our list, just a little bit of this fragrance goes a long way; spritz lightly on your wrists and neck, and let it work its magic.

Read More »The type of fragrance you choose is based on personal preference, Johnston says. However, she says that "it is important to consider the type of perfume you choose, as it may affect the longevity and the scent strength. A fragrance mist or body spray is the least powerful with a lower concentration of fragrance oil and more alcohol and water. However, you can apply more of this type of scent before becoming overwhelming. A pro for heavy spritzers. An eau de parfum is the most potent with the highest concentration of fragrance oil and an eau de toilette sits right in the middle. An eau de toilette typically has four to six hours of wear time, whereas parfum has eight to 10. But good to know: the concentration changes the intensity and duration, but shouldn't change the way your favorite scent smells.
