Women’s perfume: floral, fruity and sweet scents

Women’s perfume covers scents for everyday wear as well as for special occasions. Here you will find eau de parfum (EDP) and eau de toilette (EDT) from well-known brands across the main scent families, often also as gift sets. Every scent has its own character: some are light and airy, others warm and deep, so the choice depends on your own taste and how you plan to wear it.

If you are looking for perfumes for women, the scent family quickly points the way: floral, fruity, vanilla and fresh scents each feel different, and each finds its own moment. Below is a simple guide to how to choose, what to wear when and which names we like best.

How to choose a women’s perfume

Start by thinking about when and where you want to wear the scent. For workdays a light, fresh fragrance works well, while for evenings a more intense and deeper one is a better fit. For a wider overview, browse all perfumes, and if you are shopping for someone else you can also compare men’s perfumes.

• Floral scents: rose, jasmine, peony and iris give a classic, feminine impression.
• Fruity and sweet scents: youthful and playful, a good match for spring and summer.
• Oriental and vanilla scents: warm, deep and long-lasting, suited to autumn, winter and evenings.
• Fresh and citrus scents: light and clean, a good choice for the working day.

Scent families in detail

A floral scent is a classic choice and suits formal occasions, meetings and events. A fruity, sweet scent brings a cheerful tone and works well in warm weather. Vanilla and oriental scents are warm and inviting, which is why they are favourites in the cold season. Fresh and citrus scents leave a clean impression and are an easy choice for everyday. If you cannot decide, start from your favourite smell: if you love a flower shop, look for florals; if you love a bakery, look for vanilla and sweet notes.

Women’s perfumes in our range

Our range has both youthful and classic scents. Carolina Herrera Good Girl EDP is a well-known eau de parfum for women, Versace Bright Crystal Absolu EDP is for fans of the more intense version, DKNY Be Delicious EDP and Ariana Grande Ari EDP are lighter, more playful names, Lacoste Pour Femme EDP and Nina Ricci Nina EDT round out the choice and Hugo Boss Orange Woman EDT is a convenient eau de toilette for ordinary days. A Hugo Boss women’s fragrance finds its place on weekdays and weekends alike.

Popular brands

Among the women’s fragrances you will find Yves Saint Laurent, Lancôme and Christian Dior, as well as Giorgio Armani, Hugo Boss, Dolce & Gabbana and other familiar names. Choosing by brand is an easy route: if you already like one scent, take a look at the other scents from the same house, because they often share a similar style.

Day and evening scents

In the daytime the best scent is one that stays discreet and that you can wear all day. Eau de toilette is ideal for that. For the evening, choose an eau de parfum whose scent is deeper and lasts longer. You can wear the same bottle at both times if you use fewer sprays in the day and more in the evening. That way a single favourite bottle can be versatile and your collection does not have to grow big right away.

Scents for every moment

For work, choose a restrained scent that does not fill the whole room, and a light eau de toilette is the right pick. For a date or dinner, a warmer, deeper scent that is remembered suits well. For a party, a wedding or a birthday, choose an eau de parfum with a slightly bolder character. Take a smaller bottle that fits in your bag when you travel and keep a larger one at home. That is how your scent wardrobe takes shape, with each bottle belonging to a certain situation.

By season

Spring and summer invite light, fresh and fruity scents. Autumn brings warmer and deeper notes and winter sweet and vanilla ones. A scent also grows more intense in warm weather, so a smaller amount is enough in summer. Some people have a year-round favourite that suits every season, and that is a perfectly good choice.

Scent and skin

Perfume does not behave the same on everyone, because skin type, warmth and diet affect how a scent develops. That is why you should wear a new scent for a day before you decide. Moisturised skin holds a scent longer, while dry skin lets it fade faster. A morning body cream from the same family supports the perfume and gives the scent depth.

A gift for her

Women’s perfume is a classic but personal gift. Choose a larger bottle of a familiar favourite or a new scent from the same house. If the recipient’s preferences are unknown, choose a calm, universal scent and add a set with a body cream or shower gel. Browse the gift sets, where the perfume comes with extras, and complete the present with a body cream or shower gel from the same scent family. That turns one gift into a complete scent experience.

How to wear perfume

Spray perfume onto clean, moisturised skin: wrists, neck and behind the ears. The scent starts to develop on the skin and changes over a few hours. Decide only after you have worn it for a couple of hours. Keep the bottle cool and out of the light, which preserves the scent longer.
