Fragrance has been one of my favorite things to splurge on this year whether it’s for a family member or myself. I think it is extremely important to find scents that you feel confident in and I have definitely gone through numerous perfumes to find my favorites. These are some of my favorite perfumes that I would repurchase again and again!

Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb

I found this fragrance when I was in ninth grade and immediately became obsessed with it. Throughout high school, this was my signature scent because it made me feel so girly and feminine. It smells exactly how you would expect; like you’re sitting in a garden of flowers. The notes of this perfume are cattleya orchid, freesia, centifolia rose, sambac jasmine, India osmanthus, patchouli, and vanilla. The vanilla base of this perfume cuts through a lot of the floral notes which creates a perfectly balanced fragrance.

Kayali Vanilla 28

Kayali Vanilla 28 is an extremely viral perfume on TikTok for good reason. It is a very spicy/woodsy vanilla scent that layers beautifully. My favorite thing to do with this perfume is to use the Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Body Cream first and then apply the perfume after. This combination is one of my most complimented fragrances and is my current favorite. The notes are vanilla orchid, jasmine, brown sugar, tonka bean, amber, amberwood, musk, and patchouli.

Mon Guerlain Eau de Parfum

I received a sample of this perfume years ago and fell in love instantly. I recently bought the full version of this perfume and I am extremely happy with my purchase. The notes include lavender, bergamot, iris, jasmine sambac, rose, Tahitian vanilla, coumarin, Australian Sandalwood, licorice, benzoin, and patchouli. It’s a twist on a classic vanilla scent because of the lavender and spicy notes.

Ariana Grande Cloud

This perfume in my opinion is my favorite for everyday wear. It has notes that complement you no matter what season it is because it is a fresh fruity and sweet perfume. The notes of this perfume are lavender blossom, juicy pear, bergamot, crème de coconut, indulgent praline, vanilla orchid, sensual musks, and creamy blonde woods. This perfume is fairly affordable at $45 for a 1.0 oz bottle, and has decent lasting power on your skin.

Eilish by Billie Eilish

Eilish is a very sexy and sultry vanilla perfume. My favorite part of this fragrance is the woodsy musk notes that cut through the sweetness of this perfume. The notes of this perfume are sugared petals, mandarin, warm berries, creamy vanilla, soft spices, cocoa, sleek woods, warm musks, and tonka beans. It is not your stereotypical vanilla which I appreciate because it sets it apart from others on the market. This is also a relatively affordable option because a 1.0 oz size is only $48.

Carolina Herrera Very Good Girl Glam

This fragrance smells like nothing I have ever smelled before. It has notes of cherry, bitter almond, rose, lily, vanilla bourbon, and vetiver. This fragrance is unique because of the cherry note, which is uncommon in many popular fragrances. It is a very sweet and feminine scent that is flattering on many people. The packaging is also a glittery pink high heel which makes it even better!

My bank account was not happy about all these perfume purchases, but trust me, every single one of them is worth it!
