my go to scent combo year round,
easy to mix and match a vanilla body oil or spray with a perfume that has a bit of a kick to it
no matter the season it is always my default guide I go back to when picking a fragrance combo

If you gravitate towards warmer scents, start with vanilla as a foundation, but a specific vanilla variation (ex. Madagascar vanilla, vanilla absolute, etc) Then look for for complementing notes that are uniquely you for a nuanced yet personalized scent.

I work at Nordstrom so itās hard to choose considering Iām trying different stuff all the time but here are a few bottles I always go back to, especially great for spring/summer:
Jo Malone - Orange Blossom $72 1oz
Honeyā¦ this is sooooā¦ this is so beautiful it makes me feel both so mature and darling. Punching, nearly pure clementine flower, softened by honeysuckle and white lilac, slightly woody and powdery. Elegant. Couldnāt name a more perfect spring scent. Simple so effective.
^ Mixes beautifully with Matcha Meditation from Maison Margielaās Replica line
Gier Ness - Laila $68 1.7oz
āThe essence of Norwayā
It sure is. Apparently there is a weird Disney affiliation but please donāt let that deter you this is one of the prettiest scents Iāve ever sniffed it smells like crisp, clean spring air. Not in an overly floral way either. Very natural. Effortless. Charming. impressive lasting power. I get SO many compliments on this one.
Chanel - Paris - Ćdimbourg $113 1.7oz
No no no trust me. This is nothing like the others. Inspired by the Scottish Highlands, itās woody, earthy, mossy, fresh with spice. Itās like everything that is currently on trend in fragrance but through a super classy, traditional sort of ā¦old moneyā¦ lens. Trust.
^Mixes beautifully with You by Glossier
Might be worth adding that as curious and adventurous as I am with trying new scents, I also very easily develop migraines and tummy aches from many of them. These are all tried and true safe options for sensitive girls like me.

For a rainy day: Filligree and Shadow āI made you a mixtapeā (green apple, cannabis, petrichor)
For a chill day when I want something that stays close to the skin: Eātat Libre DāOrange āJasmine and Cigaretteā (powdery examples of titular notes)
For fall and winter and/or when Iām feeling cozy: Pearfat āBread and Rosesā (toasty delectable and bright all at once, a miracle scent)
and despite loving it I donāt wear perfume in the summer instead opting for nice clean smelling moisturizer. (Iām using a Lush one rn)
From exploring a range of styles I find I like unusual gourmands or florals paired with light earthy accords. I also have come to recognize the habits I have around perfume, itās something I use to create or maintain a vibe, I donāt need an every day scent and Iām not drawn to big scents with a wide throw. I prefer a perfume thats detectable only within a foot and makes me feel a certain way. Remembering these things about myself makes trying new things more approachable.
That being said! You might find the opposite is true for all of the above and can narrow your taste from there. I also like all the brands mentioned for their range and price point. Happy hunting :)

less is more.
