Whether you’re looking for a new signature scent for yourself, or looking for one to gift for the holidays, now would be a great time to buy it.
Sephora is currently running a Fragrance for All event, where Beauty Insider Members can use the code FRAGRANCE20 to take 20% off of full-size fragrances from 12/13 – 12/24. (It’s a one-time use code, so stock your cart accordingly!)
Also, as a friendly reminder: if you’re in a time crunch for holiday gifting, Sephora offers same day delivery (I do this ALL the time and it’s amazing) as well as a “buy online, pick up in store” option, which is incredibly convenient.
Here are 5 of my top picks based on scent family.
WARM FLORAL
Kilian Paris Love, Don’t Be Shy
A gentle, head-turning scent that is slightly sweet but not-too-sugary-sweet, balanced by rich-smelling florals.
Notes:
- Orange blossom
- Vanilla Absolute
- Luscious Marshmallow
YSL Libre
A “date night” fragrance that smells like fields of fresh lavender and warm vanilla. More powdery and clean than Love, Don’t Be Shy, which skews slightly more sweet.
Notes:
- Lavender
- Orange Blossom
- Vanilla Extract
WARM & SPICY
Phlur Missing Person Eau de Parfum
The brand describes it as “the lingering scent of your lover’s skin” and I honestly couldn’t have put it better myself. It smells like fresh, clean skin with a touch of musk.
Notes:
- Skin Musk
- Bergamot Nectar
- Blonde Wood
Narciso Rodriguez For Her
A decidedly musky scent (which is why I love it) that feels both sexy and approachable.
Notes:
- Rose
- Musk
- Patchouli
WOODY & EARTHY
Jo Malone London Wood Sage and Sea Salt
A clean-smelling fragrance that’s reminiscent of a stroll on the beach just as the sun is setting.
Notes:
- Ambrette Seeds
- Sea Salt
- Sage
PRO TIP: If you’re not sure which scent you’d like most, or you just want to better understand your own scent preferences, I would definitely recommend checking out Sephora’s “Fragrance Finder” tools. They even have a short quiz you can take that will make suggestions based on how you answer the questions.
