The Best Perfumes for Every Occasion

The Best Perfumes for Every Occasion

Fragrance is so much more than a smell! A beautiful perfume can complement an outfit, lift your mood, and create a sense of energy, confidence, and sensuality.

Your perfume should reflect your personality and style. Of course, it’s also important to match it to the occasion - just as you’d match your shoes, dress, or hairstyle.

Whether you’re heading to the office, a wedding, a garden party, or just a casual weekend hangout, a special scent can really boost your sense of self.

We’ve studied up on some of the top perfumes for women and where to wear them. Here’s our simple guide to the best perfume for every occasion.

 

Best perfume for work

An office fragrance should be soft, subtle, and not too overpowering. After all, you don’t want to upset the olfactory senses of your co-workers, especially if you work in a confined space or close proximity.

Aim for a perfume that’s clean and fresh, but still unique. Think floral or woody notes that calm rather than excite.

 

Best perfume for after-work events

Out for a few after-work drinks? Switch from business to pleasure simply by changing your scent.

Try for an oriental fragrance with an earthy base scent. Something sensual and feminine but bold and alluring - the kind of fragrance that adds a touch of mystery and intrigue to your presence.

 

Best perfume for date night

A sensual perfume is perfect for a night out with that special someone.

Love and romance are often associated with flowers, so your choice of “date night” perfume might include notes of roses, jasmine, or other freshly-cut flowers.

Amber or oriental fragrances such as sandalwood also make for popular women’s perfumes, and aphrodisiac scents such as vanilla scents may also be included.

  • BVLGARI Omnia Pink Sapphire EDT 65ml for Women: Bright citrus and pink pepper notes with a tropical pink elixir of frangipani and wild tiara flower. Finishes with elegant white musks and a complex woody base.
  • Dior Poison EDT 100ml for Women: Legendary since its launch in 1985, this blend of florals with amber and musk is the perfect balance of femininity and masculinity. Spicy, fruity and amber notes balanced with sensual honey and musk.
  • Ralph Lauren Woman EDP 100ml: A combination of feminine blooming florals and vibrant timbers, creating a harmony of confidence and grace.

 

Best perfume for winter wear

Rich, heavy fragrances are a great choice for winter, especially those that evoke a sense of warmth and burning wood. Bergamot, patchouli, oakmoss, and labdanum are all in this category sometimes alongside citrus notes.

 

Best perfume for outdoors/spring/summer

Fresh green and water notes are both natural and energetic, perfectly complementing casual outdoor gatherings. A little touch of citrus can be incredibly rejuvenating and refreshing.

Fragrances with notes of cedarwood, oak moss, and vetiver are great to wear during cooler months.

 

Best perfume for everyday wear

Just looking for a new ‘signature scent’ that you can wear every day, no matter the occasion?

This takes a bit of thought. A signature scent should reflect your character - dark and mysterious, or light and fruity?

It should also be somewhat timeless. After all, you don’t want your personal fragrance to go out of style! But most importantly, your fragrance should be something you’re going to love for a  long time.

Remember, the way a perfume smells will vary depending on who’s wearing it, so it pays to try out a few.
