We've rounded up five of the top fragrance picks that win the popular vote across the board. And the best part? These are at the top of our lists for the trending scents for this season, too.
On that note, it’s time to meet your new favourite fragrances.
LANVIN
Eclat de Fleurs Eau De Perfum Vaporisateur
Rose and musk are the two fragrance notes that everyone’s loving this season, and this composition from Lanvin features them both. With a crisp accord of pear as a top note, a fragrant bouquet of flowers at its heart, and a woody, musky accord as a base note, this fruity fragrance is like a light, fragrant breeze that that is reminiscent of a fresh spring day.
BVLGARI
Omnia Amethyste Eau de Toilette
If you thought that woody scents were only for men, think again. Bvlgari’s Omnia Amethyste is an elegant, sensual composition mixed in with floral and fruity notes to add a touch of femininity. Ideal for late dinners or date nights, we’re sure that this pick has the potential to quickly become your signature scent.
CLINIQUE
Happy Perfume
Aptly named ‘Happy’, this floral composition is sure to lift your mood. With its fresh, vibrant notes like bergamot and rose, mixed in with more sensual and elegant ones like musk (all of which are trending this season, by the way!) this distinctive scent is a must-have in every woman’s fragrance wardrobe.
PARFUMS DE MARLY
Cassili Eau de Parfum for Women
This fresh blend of yummy fruits and pleasant florals from Parums De Marly is unlike most other scents in this fragrance family. Thanks to the depth that this composition has with vanilla pod and sandalwood at its base, it makes for a rather unique addition to your collection. We promise you, once you spritz this on, the compliments won’t stop flowing!
JEAN PAUL GAULTIER
La Belle Eau De Parfum
Do you often associate warm and spicy fragrances only with the winter season? Well, not anymore. This luxurious composition from Jean Paul Gaultier is perfect for date night, or when you just want to add a touch of sensuality in the evenings. The vanilla gives it a distinctive sweetness, while the notes of pear and bergamot help add a touch of freshness to an otherwise warm scent.
