Top 5 Perfumes That You Need To Add To Your Dressing Table
Is there anything more satisfying than someone stopping you on the street or over coffee to ask you what perfume you’re wearing? Well, I have the five perfumes that will have everyone’s head-turning when you walk past.
Perfume is an intimate experience. They reflect your personality and encapsulate the idea of who you are. We all know someone who wears a fruity floral fragrance and is the life of the party. You might have a friend who wears a muskier cologne, who isn’t afraid to take risks with her fashion. These five classic perfumes are my personal favourites that you should consider adding to your collection.

If you’ve ever stepped into the beauty hall at Selfridge’s, you’ll know how overwhelming (and expensive!) it can be. This perfume called my name across the beauty hall one day in 2009. It was my first splurge purchase for a niche perfume, and it was love at first spray. Amouage Epic takes its inspiration from the Silk Road of China, the commerce route that brought silk from the East to West, across mystical deserts. Epic opens with top notes of cinnamon, cumin, and pink bay. You’ll smell damascene rose, geranium, jasmine, and tea in the heart notes. This perfume closes with base notes that include sandalwood, frankincense, and the illustrious oud. If you want to feel like a goddess then definitely add this to your collection. |
2. Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540
|
The hype around this perfume brand is everywhere! Baccarat Rouge 540 is an oriental floral fragrance that brings together amberwood, ambergris, and jasmine notes. It celebrates the 250th anniversary of Baccarat, a luxury crystal house. This fragrance dries down to a floral and woody scent against your skin.

If you don’t want to commit to the full-size bottle, you can pick up the luxury travel spray for a fraction of the price and with its iconic gold packaging. If you walk into a room with this fragrance on be prepared to fill the room with this stunning scent. I could bathe in this scent forever! |

If you want a floral rose fragrance that isn't sickly sweet, this is the choice for you. Plum gives this scent a fresher feel, while the base notes of musk and sandalwood make it richer. This perfume takes its inspiration from the love story of Mark Anthony and Cleopatra, who used roses to seduce the Roman Emperor. The bottle is a work of art that you’ll want to keep long after you finish the fragrance, a stunning tribute to Cleopatra. When I wear this, I always get stopped. |

Creed Aventus takes its inspiration from men like Alexander the Great and Napoleon Bonaparte to create a unique unisex fragrance to celebrate the brand’s 250th anniversary in 2010. It has a rich fruity scent, with top notes of apple and blackcurrant, and heart notes of juniper berries and jasmine. The unisex cologne closes with base notes of vanilla, musk, oakmoss, and ambergris. It’s the perfect scent for you and your significant other to share. A sexy distinctive scent which you can smell from a block away! |

For a more playful and alluring scent, Chloe Signature personifies the idea of confidence and sophistication. It blends feminine notes of peonies, freesias, and lily of the valley. You’ll even catch magnolia and roses in the top notes, with cedar in the base for an elegant finish. Another show stopper everyone needs in their life. |
