52 fragrances
1 Million Elixir Parfum Intense
Rabanne — A tart apple that turns to sweet vanilla and rose, as one daily wearer describes it, with an almost cinnamon edge that another traces to davana; to a third it smells like the sexiest couple you know.
1 Million Lucky Eau de Toilette
Rabanne — Toasted hazelnut and honey meet a tangy plum and a grapefruit-bright opening, and two reviewers reach for the same image: sweet popcorn.
Angel Eau de Parfum
Mugler — The house's note list places caramelized cotton candy, praline and honey between bergamot and a vanilla-patchouli base.
Angels' Share Eau de Parfum
Kilian Paris — Cognac and oak with cinnamon, praline, tonka and vanilla: sweet and woody, and for many wearers it projects strongly for several hours..
Arabie Eau de Parfum
Serge Lutens — Dense dried fruit and cumin, with a dark, sticky sweetness and savoury spice.
Bad Boy Eau de Toilette
Carolina Herrera — Chocolate is the word that keeps coming back: a soft bar steeped in ambroxan for one owner, a nutty milk chocolate for a tester at an airport, Nutella for a third, and for a fourth a bitter, herbal cocoa smothered by clary sage.
Bee Extrait de Parfum
Zoologist — Honey built without honey: the house uses beeswax and a royal-jelly accord, and wearers describe waxy, golden florals, mimosa and orange flower, over benzoin and vanilla.
Black Opium Eau de Parfum
Yves Saint Laurent — Sweet coffee and vanilla, with white flowers in the background.
Champaca Parfum
Ormonde Jayne — Moderate, close wear is the usual report for this creamy champaca and freesia on warm, starchy rice, freshened by green tea and bamboo..
Cloud Eau de Parfum
Ariana Grande — Lavender first, then sweet praline, coconut and musk.
Dark Eau de Parfum
Akro — Dry, bitter cocoa with cinnamon and hazelnut.
En Passant
Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle — Wet lilac and cucumber with a warm, dough-like accent.
Fame Eau de Parfum
Rabanne — A robot-shaped bottle holding juicy mango, jasmine and a creamy vanilla that wearers liken to a mango mousse or fruit ice cream, and two catch a coconut the house never lists.
Fantasy Eau de Parfum
Britney Spears — Sweet enough to bite, as one owner puts it: fruit and cupcake over a creamy, musky base, comforting rather than grown-up.
Fat Electrician Eau de Parfum
Etat Libre d'Orange — A vetiver gone soft in the middle: wearers get smoky roots and cedar over chestnut cream, marron glacé and a dusting of vanilla, comfortable rather than austere.
Flowerbomb Eau de Parfum
Viktor&Rolf — Dense and sweet, this floral sits on an earthy, patchouli-like background, and most reports describe substantial projection and long wear..
Followed Eau de Parfum
Kerosene — Days is how long wearers say this breakfast gourmand lasts, projecting enormously on skin, clothes and, in one case, a window screen: maple syrup poured over strong coffee, with caramel, cocoa and a whiff of pancakes.
Gaultier Divine Eau de Parfum
Jean Paul Gaultier — Watermelon eaten near the rind, one wearer says, then lily and salt on a sea breeze, with creamy vanilla and meringue beneath; to another it is a luscious dessert by the beach until a wave leaves a mouthful of sea water.
Good Girl Eau de Parfum
Carolina Herrera — Tuberose and jasmine with coffee, cocoa and a warm almond-tonka base.
Her Eau de Parfum
Burberry — The limited reports describe jammy berries, violet, clean musk and dry amber.
Hypnotic Poison Eau de Toilette
Dior — Almond and vanilla with an anise edge that wearers keep naming as root beer, licorice or marzipan; Play-Doh comes up so often it works as a fit test.
Invictus Victory Elixir Parfum Intense
Rabanne — Vanilla and amber from the first spray, one owner writes, and it barely moves in eight hours; others find smoky incense and patchouli, a coconut from nowhere, or a vanilla ice cream that brought them more compliments than anything else.
Jeux de Peau Eau de Parfum
Serge Lutens — Bread comes up in nearly every report: warm crust, toast and butter, then apricot jam, licorice and sandalwood as it dries down.
Juicy Couture Eau de Parfum
Juicy Couture — Tuberose with buttered popcorn, two wearers find, or a white-flower bouquet over watermelon and caramel crème that one self-declared tuberose hater keeps returning to into the 2020s.
La Belle Le Parfum Eau de Parfum Intense
Jean Paul Gaultier — Pears poached in syrup, then vanilla and a great deal of tonka, with a thread of incense smoke underneath: owners reach for it on winter date nights and warn that two or three sprays are plenty.
La Vie Est Belle Eau de Parfum
Lancôme — Strong projection and long wear are the norm in reviewers' reports of this sweet, powdery iris on a prominent patchouli base..
Lady Million Eau de Parfum
Rabanne — Sweet, loud and glossy, this is the scent that, one wearer says, gets them followed around the office: raspberry and orange blossom drizzled with honey on jasmine and patchouli.
Le Male Elixir Parfum
Jean Paul Gaultier — Le Male on steroids, one owner calls it: a loud minty lavender opening that sinks into honey, tonka and vanilla, sweet enough to score an eleven on another's sugar meter.
Like This Eau de Parfum
Etat Libre d'Orange — Pumpkin and ginger as warm, savoury vegetables and spice, with bright tangerine at the start.
Lost Cherry Eau de Parfum
Tom Ford — Cherry liqueur and bitter almond up front, then rose, jasmine, warm tonka and balsam.
Milk Expressive Eau de Parfum
Commodity — Cold milk and toasted marshmallow, with sesame at the start and a woody warmth under it: comfort food, as most owners put it.
MOD Vanilla Eau de Parfum
Ariana Grande — Cool rather than sugary, this is what one wearer calls a vanilla for people who dislike vanilla.
Pistachio Eau de Parfum
D.S. & Durga — Green pistachio, sugar and cardamom against earthy patchouli.
Poets of Berlin Eau de Parfum
Vilhelm Parfumerie — Blueberry muffin, wearers often say: tart blueberry and lemon on sweet vanilla, with orris and vetiver drying the finish, and it often wears closer after the opening..
Princess Eau de Toilette
Vera Wang — Bought at fifteen and remembered at thirty is the shape of this record.
R.E.M. Eau de Parfum
Ariana Grande — Lavender is the axis here: herbal and loud to some noses, a sleepy soft version to others, wrapped in salted caramel and marshmallow with tonka and sandalwood underneath.
Rabbit Extrait de Parfum
Zoologist — Carrot cake for some, a hutch full of hay for others.
Replica By the Fireplace Eau de Toilette
Maison Margiela — Chestnut and clove with dry, slightly tarry guaiac and cade smoke, sweetened by vanilla and balsam as it settles.
Roasted Green Tea Eau de Parfum
J-Scent — Roasted green tea with nutty, savoury peanut and seaweed impressions, cooled by mint and wintergreen before a softer iris-and-vanilla drydown, as reviewers describe it..
Scandal Eau de Parfum
Jean Paul Gaultier — Blood orange and a flood of honey over gardenia and patchouli, with a beeswax, faintly animal warmth that fans call sexy, in a kitschy showstopper of a bottle.
Scandal pour Homme Eau de Toilette
Jean Paul Gaultier — One wearer tracked it down after smelling it on a stranger at a holiday restaurant; another bought it as their very first fragrance and fell into the hobby.
Sweet Like Candy Eau de Parfum
Ariana Grande — Blackberry and bergamot first, marshmallow and cassis underneath: wearers reach for sour sweets that make the mouth water, jammy strawberry chews from a corner shop, cotton candy laid over soft white flowers.
Thank U, Next Eau de Parfum
Ariana Grande — The argument across both venues is dill.
This Is Her! Eau de Parfum
Zadig & Voltaire — Whipped cream rather than icing sugar: chestnut and vanilla folded into something soft and milky, with a peppery prickle at the start and sandalwood underneath.
Tobacco Vanille Eau de Parfum
Tom Ford — Tobacco leaf, vanilla, dried fruit and cocoa with warm spice.
Unknown Pleasures Eau de Parfum
Kerosene — Earl Grey and lemon show early, reviewers notice, then a warmer, sweeter pastry of caramel, vanilla and waffle cone takes over..
Vacation Eau de Toilette
Vacation — It smells like sunscreen, and that is the point: coconut, banana and a squeeze of pineapple over chlorinated water and warm vinyl.
Vanilla | 28 Eau de Parfum
KAYALI — Sweet vanilla and brown sugar after a jasmine opening, with patchouli and amber giving the drydown an earthier edge.
Vanille Banane Eau de Toilette
Comptoir Sud Pacifique — Banana, green leaf and a splash of rum, then soft vanilla.
Virgin Island Water Eau de Parfum
Creed — Sharp lime and bergamot, then creamy coconut and white flowers; as the citrus fades, soft tonka and musk remain, usually close to the skin by wearers' accounts..
Viva La Juicy Eau de Parfum
Juicy Couture — Wild berries and mandarin over honeysuckle and a caramel-vanilla base, the smell of a late-2000s shopping mall in a pink-bowed bottle: for one owner, a signature and the most complimented scent for over a decade.
White Rice Eau de Parfum
d'Annam — A skin scent by design, and owners wear it that way: steamed, faintly nutty rice and green pandan that settle into orris, jasmine and clean white musk.
