1. Dolce & Gabbana No. 3 L’imperatrice
Featuring notes of watermelon, kiwi, pink cyclamen and musk, this is fruity without being stonking or overwhelmingly “juicy”.
2. Tom Ford Tuscan Leather
Now, obviously, this is outrageously expensive. Nobody is telling you need to spend this kind of money to not smell like you rolled in a meadow. But this is an option. A very luxurious option, yes. But so be it. Notes include jasmine, suede and olibanum.
3. Davidoff Cool Water
The definition of fresh, Cool Water has top notes of peppermint and lavender, middle notes of oakmoss, geranium and sandalwood, and base notes of amber and musk.
4. Jo Malone Lime Basil & Mandarin
Because no one does ‘different’ quite like Jo Malone. This is a clean, rich scent that’s really long-lasting without being overpowering. Again, it’s another pricey option, but think of how much money you’re technically saving by not reapplying!
(We’re kidding ourselves).
5. Calvin Klein IN2U
Fruit and vanilla notes feature on this but don’t swamp the scent. The ‘for him’ of this perfume is also a nice alternative if you’re looking for something more neutral.
6. Kiehl’s Aromartic Blends Vanilla and Cedarwood
Vanilla is a tricky one especially when you’re not a fan of sickly sweet smells. What if you just want a *hint* of scent and not smell like a kid’s birthday party? This strikes the ultimate balance. The cedarwood and amber notes also make for a gorge combo.
7. L’occitane En Provence Eau de Bavx
Never mind that it says for men, you can wear whatever you want. Don’t let a bottle tell you what to do. If you love the smell of burning incense, you need to get all over this.
8. CK One
Probably the most famous unisex scent, this is ideal for someone who would like to smell good without wanting to become the smell. Minimalistic and clean, in the best way possible.
