We'll miss 2016 like we miss a searing UTI or a period-week bikini waxing session -- in other words, not one, miserable bit. It was a banner year of upsets, disappointments, tragedies and all-around f$&#ery. It's no wonder so many of us closed 2016 mentally and emotionally hungover, eager for the new year and its attendant promise of change -- whether or not that promise is fulfilled.

Perfumers must have sensed this collective unease when crafting new perfumes for 2017. The newest women's perfumes speak to our desires for tranquility, escape, uplift, comfort and empowerment. Whatever flavor of crap-ass mood you're experiencing right now, the antidote may just be in the fragrance section of Sephora.

So, go ahead -- indulge in some very necessary self-care and snap out of that funk by treating yourself to a brand-new fragrance. Click ahead for 17 mood-altering new perfumes.
