Perfume does something very special: It provides an instant confidence boost with one simple spritz. But finding your signature perfume can prove somewhat challenging with the abundance of musky, floral, citrus or even woodsy notes to choose from.
Likewise, you may have trouble deciding whether you should splurge on designer perfume brands like Chanel and Dior, or opt for more budget-friendly fragrances by the likes of Aveda and Victoria's Secret. With so many scents and brands, how exactly should a gal start her search for a signature scent?
That's where our readers come in. They've spritzed-and-sniffed just about every fragrance out there and weighed in with their reviews — and we've added in a few editors' picks too. Count down to see which scent topped our best perfume list. The answer may surprise you — and leave you with your most perfect perfume yet.
Why it's great: Looking for something light and fresh? Our reviewers describe this perfume as such, also making note of the adorable bottle: "It's fresh, clean, youthful and perfect for every day," said one reader. "The bottle is so pretty too!"
Why it's great: If the pom pom alone doesn't sell you, chances are these reviews will: "The scent is unique — like nothing I've ever smelled — and demands attention," writes one reviewer (who also notes that the fragrance has a "boudoir feeling about it"). Another reviewer praises the scent for being "sweet and delicate, but still grown up."
Why it's great: This fresh fragrance is absolutely ideal for warmer weather. One reader describes it as "Crisp, citrus-y, and summery," while another remarks that it reminds her of "a summer breeze with a hint of sweetness."
Why it's great: "You" is an appropriate name for this perfume, because that's exactly what it smells like — with some slight improvements, naturally. It blends flawlessly with your natural scent, adding a light musky, fresh — and dare we say sparkly? — mood that's always welcome. The minimalist pale pink ombre bottle is another major plus.
