Stylish Women Reveal the Luxury Fragrances That Complete Their Looks

“My signature fragrance is Chanel N°5 L’Eau. I love its soft, powdery floral scent—it feels feminine, elegant, and timeless. I also love how clean and delicate it is without being too overpowering. For me, fragrance is very personal. I like something subtle that stays with you and eventually becomes a scent that people associate with you.”

“I am not the type to go out and buy fragrance, as I have always used what was gifted, but I usually lean towards things that aren't too sweet—more musky. Currently, I am obsessed with Portrait of a Lady by Dominique Ropion from Frederic Malle Editions de Parfums. The scent is really mysterious and sophisticated.”

“What I love about this fragrance Présence(s) de Bach by Les Fleurs de Bach is that it’s subtle yet powerful. I’ve heard it's a pheromone perfume, which gives it that intriguing quality that draws people in. I also love that it’s unique, and not something you come across easily. It feels very personal and distinctive.”

“What I like about Maison Margiela Replica’s Lazy Sunday Morning is how clean, soft, and comforting it smells. It’s the kind of fragrance that makes me feel cozy, fresh, and put-together without trying too hard.”

“I use Le Labo’s Another 13 for everyday use. It’s easy to blend with any scent I like. My current favorite that I also swear by is the Delina Exclusif by Parfums de Marly. It feels warm, romantic, and sophisticated. It lasts me all day as well.”

“Dior Paradise has become my signature scent. I love how fresh, warm, and effortless it feels. I even brought it with me on holiday to Madagascar, so I’m literally wearing Paradise while in paradise.”

“I actually really love perfume and exploring different scents. I like a very clean scent with a hint of musk, but it changes when I discover something new that I get obsessed with. At the moment, it’s Diptyque Fleur De Peau.”

“I lean towards notes of citrus and neroli, and my absolute favorite scent is Tom Ford’s Neroli Portofino. I love how fresh, clean, and effortlessly chic it smells. It’s light enough for everyday wear, but distinct enough to make me feel put together all day. Think fresh out of the shower, but elevated and more sophisticated.”

“My signature scent right now is Crème Ébène by Nicolaï. What I love most about it is how much it feels like me—it’s earthy, light, and fresh, but there’s still something bold and sexy underneath. The warm woods give it this grounded quality, while the subtle sweetness makes it feel feminine and sensual without ever being too much. 

“I recently visited the Nicolaï perfumery in Paris and had the chance to speak with the family behind the house and learn about its history and craftsmanship, which made me appreciate the fragrance even more. It feels refined and romantic, and I think that balance is exactly why I connect with it so much.”

“My signature scent is Guerlain’s Aqua Allegoria Pera Granita. I love how it smells so fresh and alive, like a garden of Genovian pears (yes, very Princess Diaries-coded!). It’s a whimsical yet regal scent that I’ll never tire of, and the Guerlain perfume bottles are always works of art! I actually love displaying them in different areas at home, and spritz my fragrances any chance I get.”
