Best Perfumes for Women 2024:
Parfums De Marly Althair
Luxury French perfume house Parfums de Marly just launched our dream fall scent: a love letter to Bourbon vanilla complemented by orange blossom, cinnamon, praline and musk. While it’s technically a men’s fragrance, we think anyone can pull off this woodsy gourmand.
PHLUR Father Figure Eau De Parfum
With fresh yet soothing notes of ripe fig, powdery iris, grounding sandalwood and cozy vanilla, PHLUR’s latest fragrance is perfect for transitioning from summer to fall. If you like a your-skin-but-better fragrance that’s sophisticated but not overpowering, consider Father Figure your new signature scent.
Mugler Alien Goddess Eau de Parfum
“It smells unlike anything else I’ve ever had,” raved one reviewer about this new offering from Mugler. “It smells like it would feel to be a successful young female billionaire on a night out spending thousands on vintage tequila. This perfume makes you feel expensive, elevated, fresh.”
KAYALI Vanilla 28
KAYALI’s tonka and amber-enriched Vanilla 28 tends to sell out frequently thanks to its TikTok popularity, so get your hands on a bottle while it’s still in stock.
snif Tart Deco
If you’re in the market for a juicy scent, snif’s Tart Deco features indulgent notes of black cherry, raspberry and rose grounded by birchwood and vetiver.
Dossier Ambery Saffron
Maison Francis Kurkdjian’s Baccarat Rouge 540 is one of TikTok’s favorite scents, but spending over $300 on a perfume might be out of the question. Dossier’s impression of the sultry saffron, cedar and amber scent is a budget-friendly alternative.
