Perfume For Women 2024 - Best Perfumes & Fragrances

Because these perfumes are exactly what you need this season!  Some are new, some are tried and true, and some are totally on trend.  The one thing they all have in common?  You can’t go wrong with any of them!

It’s officially that time of year to switch up your go-to fragrance and try out a new and exciting perfume that will totally welcome in the season.  There’s nothing I love better than freshening up my seasonal scents (from perfumes to candles and everything in between!)

Gone are the days when you were only supposed to wear heavier fragrances in the winter and lighter in the summer.  Now you can really just pair your fragrance with your mood, goals, or intentions.

While scent combinations can certainly be endless, the most common ones actually say a lot about you and what you like. In fact currently on TikTok, videos about what your perfume says about you has almost 5 million views (and counting!).  Here’s a little cheat sheet for you on which scents mean about you:

THE MOST COMMON SCENTS

WOODSY

If you typically go the woodsy route, it usually means you’re sensual, prefer comfort, love to feel sexy, and aren’t afraid to command attention.  You like a little extra spice in your life and are ready to ask for exactly what you want.  Typically woodsy scents are perfect in the cooler (or even colder) temperatures especially in the late fall and winter.

FLORAL

If your go-to is always something floral, you may be more on the feminine side and a true romantic at heart. You’re someone who loves to feel free, prefers light colors surrounding you, and typically takes a moment to stop, get into the present, and take a brief quiet moment for gratitude. Floral scents are most popular in the warmer months surrounding spring and summer.

FRUITY

When you choose fruity fragrances (or ones with a citrus base) you’re typically similar to those who love floral options.  You’re usually more carefree, outgoing, and the life of the party. Don’t get us wrong, there are those of us who are more introverts that will sway towards a more fruity scent, but usually we reserve citrusy perfumes for those who are ready to stand up and get noticed.  It can be worn pretty much any month of the year, regardless of the season or temperature. 

Since recent times have been pretty much one long nightmare we’re all ready for a vacation, even if it’s only in our mind. So I chose some of the top picks perfect for the warmer temps and included some of the must-have newbies and classic tried-and-true perfumes perfect for any time of year.

Whether you’re buying for yourself or for someone you love, I’ve rounded up some of the best-selling perfumes and fragrances that are making everyone’s ‘must-have’ list for 2024.  

From light florals to crisp and warm woodsy scents, shop my favorite obsessions this year this will soon be your obsessions too.

Henry Rose ‘Windows Down’ Perfume

Henry Rose Perfume - WIndows Down

I always love a fragrance that everyone isn’t wearing at all times.  I was introduced to Windows Down by Henry Rose and immediately became obsessed.  Fun Fact:  Henry Rose is actually owned and created by living legend Michelle Pfeiffer!

What’s amazing about this perfume is that it’s light, airy, and fresh.  Yet, it’s actually pretty long lasting.  When I put it on in the morning, I’m still getting light hits off it all throughout the day and even at night.  The best part?  It’s not filled with all sorts of harmful chemicals.  That’s really what Henry Rose is all about.

When it comes to the smell and its notes, it consists of bergamot, neroli, grapefruit, orange flower, and moss.  It’s the perfect combination to create a totally soft, floral, and fresh fragrance.

Chanel Coco Mademoiselle

chanel mademoiselle perfume

This one is such a sexy fragrance and perfect for when you’re heading out to that special occasion, important date, or just want to give yourself a bit of a confidence boost.  Coco Mademoiselle by Chanel has been on the Top Sellers list from major retailers like Nordstrom,  Bloomingdale’s, Sephora, and even Saks Fifth Avenue.

When it comes to it’s amazing smell, that’s thanks to notes of bergamot, orange, jasmine, rose, patchouli, vetiver, white musks, and vanilla.  This basically makes it sparkling, vibrant, fresh, and sensual all at the same time.  If you’re looking for a classic gift, you can’t go wrong with Chanel.

Atelier Lemon Island Pure Perfume

Atelier Lemon

Looking for something a bit unique, yet dreamy? That’s why I chose Lemon Island Pure by Atelier. It’s one of the most fresh, lively, and vibrant options of the season and comes in a bunch of different size options that really can work with almost any budget.

While the name – Lemon – basically gives it away when it comes to what it smells like, it has beautiful notes of lemon from the Indian Ocean, jasmine direct from India, and vanilla from Madagascar. Overall it’s sweet (but not too sweet), bright, and naturally pleasant.

Ellis Brooklyn ‘WEST’ Perfume

Ellis Brooklyn ‘WEST’ Perfume

More and more folks are shifting towards vegan fragrances that are also clean. This one hits two birds with one stone. WEST is bright, fresh, and citrusy. It’s the perfect option when you want to perk up, turn heads, and feel fresh and ready to tackle the day.

The notes all basically make this one come to life and consist of blood orange, waterlily, vetiver, lemon basil, and oak moss. It’s not too floral and it’s not too heavy, making it the perfect everyday option.

Tom Ford Private Blend ‘Neroli Portofino’

Tom Ford Private Blend ‘Neroli Portofino’

I’d like drink this perfume if we could (I can’t and you shouldn’t, of course), but it’s like an exotic Italian getaway in a bottle. It’s vibrant, fresh, and will leave you wanting more. As with most of all of Tom Ford’s fragrances, this one is unisex and it really interacts and works with your own body chemistry. It  actually made our cologne list  as well this year!

When it comes to notes, it consists of Tunisian neroli, Italian bergamot, Sicilian lemon, yellow mandarin, and lavender. Even before you smell it you know it even sounds good!

One of my favorite summer-inspired perfumes that has now been my new go-to each time the temps start to warm up. ‘Beach Walk’ is perfect for the change in season and will totally bring your senses right back to the beach where, let’s be honest, they belong this time of year.

Tiffany Eau de Parfum

Tiffany Eau de Parfum

This one is truly a feminine floral/musk perfume without being too overpowering. What most love about this one, outside of the luxury brand name, is that its actually pretty long-lasting. Don’t get me wrong, it won’t last all day and night, but for me it was still going strong after 5 hours.

This best seller has intoxicating notes of blue iris, musk cocktail, and vert de mandarine. Basically it’s flowery without being too flowery.

Aerin Hibiscus Palm

Aerin Hibiscus Palm

Talk about a tropical vacation in a bottle! This one helps us to escape the grind of the average day and elevates us to a place where we’re carefree, de-stressed and, overall, content. I love how this one is still a bit off the beaten path, meaning that you’re not going to smell like every other person you walk past.

And speaking of the scent, it has intoxicating notes of lotus flower and hibiscus palm, ylang, exotic ginger, white blossoms, coconut milk, vanilla and musk. Another amazing option that’ll keep you calm, zen, and back to the most tropical beach vacation you’ve ever been on.

Jo Malone Wood Sage & Sea Salt Perfume

Jo Malone Wood Sage & Sea Salt Perfume

There are so many options from Jo Malone and so many of them fly right off the shelves. Jo Malone is known for their layering, meaning you can actually spray on of her scents and then top spray over it with another of her scents. This really makes it totally unique and yours. I love this perfume because it’s a beautiful transition scent that and brilliantly blends earthiness with sage and the sea for a total breezy fresh air scent and experience. And when it comes to its specific notes, it consists of bergamot, buchu leaves, sea salt, dried fruits, driftwood, white musk, and sage.

It has scents of sage, lavender, vanilla, blonde woods, and more. It’s warm, spicy, and a little leathery.
