Best female perfumes?

I'd like to buy a perfume. I have like 5, some DKNY perfumes and some awful celebrity perfumes, like Justin Bieber (don't judge me it was a gift). They all smell not the best and I was wondering if anyone owns any nice smelling perfumes? I like all different kinds of smell, just describe it a little bit if you want!

I love Princess by Vera Wang it's great for during the day, it's a soft smell and every time I wear it someone compliments me on it :h:
- Viktor and Rolf: Flowerbomb
Sweet and floral but not cloying. It's very addictive and quite girly with feminine undertones.

- Thierry Mugler: Alien Eau Extraordinaire
This is a lighter version of the original 'Alien'. The fragrance is very deep and mysterious. It's quite floral with a mixture of woody notes.

- Dior: Hypnotic Poison
This perfume smells heavenly! On myself I can detect the vanilla notes, it's a 'creamy' fragrance.

- Hugo Boss: Ma Vie Pour Femme
I don't really know how to describe this one, it's quite floral but has warmth too it? It's a 'clean' fragrance.


Out of all of the perfumes in my collection I'd say that those ones are the best in terms of being a unique scent and sillage!

Marc Jacobs Oh Lola: really light and sweet, great for during the day or summer.

Prada Candy: great for nights.

Vera Wang is also pretty good for fragrances.

Dior Hypnotic Poison has honestly got to be the nicest smelling perfume I have ever smelled.

Would second those who have recommended Flowerbomb and Princess - they are fabulous! You also can't go wrong with a bottle of Chanel No. 5 :smile:
Try vole pheromones.

Is that the clear bottle with a gold crown and ring? I have the night version with silver and purple crown and black glitter encrusted bottle, absolutely love the smell of it.

Yeah it is, I've had two other ones but I can't remember what they're called but it's not the one you had. Vera Wang makes some amazing perfumes!
