Riddle's line of subtle perfume oils includes 11 different blends, but this is the brand's best-selling scent, a cocktail of musks and amber resins. Because it's composed of only base notes, Original smells as warm and clean when you put it on as it does at the end of the day; in other words, what you smell is what you get.
Like Riddle's Original, Glossier's first perfume doesn't have any middle notes. It's a mix of three base notes -- ambrette, ambrox and musk -- with a spicy sprinkle of top notes (iris root and pink pepper, specifically). The result is sexy but not overpowering, fresh but also familiar.
This exotic blend of jasmine, sandalwood and cardamom is a little beachy and spicy; because it's an oil, it easily sinks into skin, melding with your own fragrance. Anyone who gets a whiff of you will think you're just one of those supernatural creatures who always smell good.
Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb Twist Layering Oils, $69 each
Viktor & Rolf's new layering perfume oils -- which include Jasmine, Musk and Rose -- were designed to be paired with the house's Flowerbomb perfume. TBH, we love wearing these one-note oils by themselves or cocktailed together. (Jasmine and musk are a classic, low-key pair.)
This nostalgic perfume oil will give you beachy, surfer-girl vibes with orange blossom, lavender, Italian bergamot and musk. Wear it if you miss summer.
