PARFUMS SAPHIR Elegance, Eau de Parfum Spray for Women, 200 ml

Product Information

While not all perfumes will break the bank, a luxury fragrance is pricey because it’s not just an investment for the consumer, but for the brand making it as well. Beyond the raw materials and how much of them are used in a fragrance, the expense will speak to the talent behind the scent, which is the case for in-demand master perfumers like Francis Kurkdjian, the genius responsible for Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540 Eau de Parfum, and Dominique Ropion, the nose who created Frédéric Malle Carnal Flower Eau de Parfum. The best thing is to keep them in the fridge if possible,” she adds. If you don’t have the space for this, consider getting a mini skincare fridge in which to store your most precious perfumes. Discover fresh freesia, heady rose, osmanthus, and Sambac jasmine, set on a sweet-and-spicy stage of patchouli and vanilla. Yes, Flowerbomb is luxuriously feminine and playful while winking to something a little more Dionysiac—daring and decisive, and oh-so-addictive.

Shaped like a diamond grenade, Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb is a glittering explosion of fresh and sweet sensations and an endlessly sought-after scent. Designed by the talented trio, Olivier Poleg, Carlos Benaim, and Domitille Berthier, this best-smelling perfume for women is like wandering through your own secret flower garden—but after dark. You can also spray it on your clothing, adds Monet, so long as it’s not made of cashmere, silk, satin, or leather as these materials are easily damaged. Note: If you like to mist perfume over your hair, you’re not alone, but it’s better to use a hair mist for this purpose. “Avoid spraying eau de parfum directly on hair, as they have high levels of alcohol, which can leave hair dry and brittle.” Finding one’s be-all, end-all perfume can be a daunting (albeit exciting!) task. Mauro recommends starting with a fragrance finder. “Begin by determining if you like fresh or warm fragrances, then consider when you want to wear it,” he says.For such a light fragrance, it boasts an impressive lasting power, and you’ll catch a whiff of it whenever you move. We especially love giving our summer wardrobe an olfactory boost by spritzing it over our hair and onto our clothing, especially sunhats and linen beach coverups. Women’s perfume is the ultimate finishing touch for any outfit, mood, and occasion. Some feel naked without it, while others adore a spritz (or three) on a special occasion. Thanks to the masterful work of perfumers across the world, we’re not short of glorious scents to choose from; from playful florals to sensual musks to deep and spicy fragrances, somewhere out there is the best women’s perfume that speaks your language. Within the realm of Eau de Parfum, a symphony of fragrance notes unfolds, crafting a narrative that resonates with individual preferences and personalities. These notes can be broadly categorized into three distinct layers: top notes, heart notes, and base notes. Top Notes: A Captivating Prelude In the best possible way, this luxury fragrance smells like a well-loved, high-quality leather handbag that’s long been a staple of your wardrobe; similarly, this perfume is also bound to become a go-to in your routine. Remember that leathery scents tend to perform best in cooler weather as heat and humidity can make a perfume wear you, rather than the other way around.

What We Love: You’ve probably encountered this viral, celebrity-approved perfume at least once a week. But don’t feel like you need to limit yourself to just one scent, says Mauro. “Be open to expanding your fragrance wardrobe to include a range of fragrance families,” he recommends. “Experiment with your fragrances and create your own signature combination.” With the price point to match, Oud For Highness is literally regal: It was formulated for King Hussein of Jordan in the mid-1970s. And while it may have been made for a man, it’s our seasonal go-to for when we want to feel like the powerful women we are. Warm, spicy, and elegant with notes of syrupy honey and indulgent oud (one of the rarest and priciest ingredients used when making perfumes), every spritz will make you feel more confident than the last. If you’re more of a wallflower, note that this scent is bold, both in vibes and strength. Mexican oakwood, which nods to the heritage of the brand, is the grounding element, supported by a generous dose of leather, which is enhanced by powdery iris, peach skin-like osmanthus, and earthy carrot skin.

To make it last longer, we recommend wearing it over body lotion—which you’ll be wearing on your wedding day anyway to boost your skin’s glow.

As fragrances weave through diverse cultures, Eau de Parfum’s character evolves across geographic regions. Finding a scent that speaks to your distinctive personality is no small feat. Many of us feel frazzled by the endless possibilities and subtle differences. So we default to the most popular perfumes out of fear of getting it wrong. And whilst there’s nothing wrong with smelling like everyone else, if you’d rather discover your signature scent, understanding the four fragrance families and concentration strengths will certainly make the process a lot less overwhelming. Four main fragrance families Typically, though, it’s individual notes. Oud, found in Krigler Oud For Highness 75 Eau de Parfum, is very costly. “Oud is an ingredient that is extremely expensive because it comes from the agar tree, of which about two percent actually produce oud, therefore making it very expensive,” explains Gray. Interestingly enough, rose and jasmine are also pricey because it takes a great deal of flowers to produce just a small amount of essential oil for floral perfumes. If you’re buying perfume as a gift, remember that you’re not selecting a scent based on what you like—it needs to be something they like, and what smells good to you might not speak to them.Notes of fresh citrus, salt air, and dune grass are grounded by the aroma of freshly-bloomed beach roses wafting from the shore. The briny notes are perfectly balanced by the fruity and floral ones, resulting in a scent that’s truly transportive. One spritz of this aromatic little number is almost enough to let you tell yourself you’re on a real vacation (even if you have no PTO in sight). PTO spent soaking up sunshine and air-drying hot skin made salty from a dip in the sea—the delicate blend of notes in Bobbi Brown Beach evoke all of these summer memories and more. Second-best: Eau de Parfum (EDP) has 15-20% perfume oils and should last between four to five hours, making it popular for evening fragrances. The nose behind this scent, Dominique Ropion, is a master of the craft, and that’s clear upon first sniff. With tuberose leading the charge, the fragrance boasts a positively elegant mix of white florals as well as unexpected notes of melon, coconut, coconut, and eucalyptus, all resting on a base of musk. It projects and wears beautifully, with no need for spritzes throughout the day. This happens because we’re all unique in our body chemistry,” explains Ray Mauro, Brand Manager of Fragrance Development and Marketing at Avon. “Our skin releases oils and the balance of those oils varies from person to person.” For this reason, we’d recommend testing it in person rather than going for the blind buy.
