22 Best Perfumes for Women (Most Sexy & Seductive)

Scent

9.9/10

This is by far one of the more unique and striking scents we’ve ever smelled – especially for a floral. Users compare this scent to leather and dark chocolate, though the main notes are a bit more complex than that with sandalwood, orchid, and patchouli leading the way.

Occasion

9.8/10

This is a warm, floral scent, so it’s really best worn in the winter. That said, many women say this works well for more formal or professional occasions.

Value

10/10

At just under $100 for a 1.7-ounce bottle, this is one of the more expensive perfumes for women on our list. However, many customers find the uniquely captivating scent to be well worth the investment.

And, if warm and floral isn’t quite your style, check out Tom Ford’s risqué new release. With woody leather notes of rich orris and tonka bean, this addictive new fragrance is sure to deliver.

An addictive combination of white floral, mixed with base notes of coffee, vanilla, and cedarwood. Sweet, sensual, and unexpectedly soft.

Occasion

Black Opium is a very versatile fragrance. The softness from the white flowers and vanilla makes it a great choice for the day, while the deep tones of coffee and cedarwood make it appropriate for evening wear as well.

This is a warmer scent, so it probably works best in the colder months. Additionally, it’s incredibly long-lasting, so you can wear from morning until night.

Value

9.8/10

Just over $100 for a 3-ounce bottle is actually a heck of a deal. Plus, you won’t need much of this to make an impact, so this bottle should last a very long time.

People who stand by Flowerbomb as their go-to perfume swear that this is perfect for all seasons and occasions. Wear it for a night out on the town, a romantic dinner, or a spontaneous adventure with no definite destination. Flowerbomb ensures you’ll leave a trail of allure wherever you go.

The more you buy, the better the deal. The 3.7-ounce bottle comes in at $165, which is right around $44 per ounce. Since this is a strong scent, you don’t need to wear much of it… which makes it a great value purchase.

With Chloé, the classic scent of rose is vibrantly transformed to an intimate and sensual Eau de Parfum.

The fragrance begins with floral notes of pink peony, lychee, and springtime freesia. In the middle you get a subtle air of magnolia flower combined with lily of the valley. And beneath the airy, flirtatious head notes, you will get the richer and more sensual fragrance of warm amber and elegant cedarwood.

Occasion

Free-spirited freedom, lightness and femininity: these are the principles on which Chloé was founded in Paris more than 60 years ago. Today Chloé’s vision of romantic, effortless chic is perfect for versatile, everyday wear.

Daisy is a beautifully feminine, fruity, and floral scent – with a slight hint of violet. The fragrance begins with top notes of strawberry, grapefruit and violet leaf; transitions to tones of violet, gardenia and jasmine; and finishes with base notes of musk, white woods, and vanilla.

Occasion

The world of Daisy by Marc Jacobs is everything bright, playful, and innocent. This feminine fragrance will instantly lift your spirits and put you in a cheerful mood. Perfect for any occasion, especially during Spring and Summer months.

Value

9.8/10

The price is $84 for the 1.7-ounce bottle, but there are other sizes available. Want our opinion? We like the rollerball because it’s a great value, slips easily into a purse or a toiletry bag, and lasts quite a while even if you use it daily. But, regardless of which size you choose, you’ll love this fragrance.

And, if you’re looking for something slightly more sutlry, check out Decadence by Marc Jacobs. With its opulent finish of warm, heady woods and sexy liquid amber, Decadence leaves behind an alluring trail and an unforgettable impression.

What online reviewers say:

• “This is a wonderful Summer fragrance – the fruit and floral elements blend nicely and it lasts well on the skin. I really like the hint of violet. Reminds me of a free-spirited bohemian girl running through a meadow. Very young and carefree.”
• “I find it to have a very soft scent with a hint of floral (hence the name Daisy), but the floral scent is not too powerful for those who do not prefer a strong-smelling brand. The rollerball packaging and application are great and I prefer this most times because if you want to have something that smells good on-the-go this is the perfect go-to. Overall, I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for an everyday scent that is not too strong and not too sweet.”
• “Makes you feel fresh as if you just got out of the shower. Unlike some other brands, the notes are noticeable. For me, I can smell the tangy grapefruit. The strawberry comes next, then the rest follows.”

Scent

9.6/10

There’s a unique and sensual blend of notes here that make this scent wonderfully sweet. With a mix of fruit (including strawberry, raspberry, pear, and orange) and musky scents (like patchouli, crystal moss, and white musk) many wearers say this perfume reminds them of the smell of champagne.

Occasion

9.8/10

With this being such a light and subtle scent, you really could wear this perfume whenever and wherever you want.

Value

9.4/10

The main problem with a perfume that costs this much is the lack of longevity in the scent. Perhaps it’s because it’s such a light scent to begin with, but many customers agree that it just doesn’t have great staying power.

Light Blue is musky yet citrusy, composed of citron, bluebell, apple, jasmine, bamboo, white rose, cedarwood, amber, and musk.

The citron adds a surprising liveliness, the apple – a light happiness, and the bluebell brings an unexpected spontaneity. Jasmine adds a unique intensity which is combined with the freshness of bamboo and the charm of white rose. Finally, the cedarwood and amber create a deep, full fragrance which pairs perfectly with a musky finish.

Occasion

9.5/10

Among the best womens perfumes, light Blue is stunning and irresistibly feminine. Perfect for daytime wear, especially in the work place.

Value

9.7/10

On the lower end of the price spectrum, this perfume will cost you only $55 for a 3.3-ounce bottle. That’s just over $16 per ounce – what a steal! Light Blue is worth every penny if you’re looking for something with a unique combination of light and musky.

Smells like an expensive bundle of flowers. The ylang-ylang, which is a tropical tree found in Indonesia and Malaysia, is the most obvious scent in this brand. Additional notes of rose and jasmine make for a sweet, floral finish.

Occasion

9.7/10

It’s elegant and sexy, perfect for a romantic dinner or a night out. This lovely scent will make you feel like the sexiest woman in the room without being overbearing.

Value

9.5/10

This product not only smells expensive, but it is expensive. At $100 for a 1.7-ounce bottle, this perfume is not cheap! The good news is, a little spritz goes a long way so the bottle will last a while. While this price represents the 1.7 fluid ounce bottle, there are other sizes available and the more you buy the more you save. We say go big or go home because you can never have too much of this fragrance.

And, if you’re on the market for something slightly younger and lighter, check out Blooming Bouquet by Miss Dior. While maintaining a sweet floral scent, Blooming Bouquet also includes fruity notes of grapefruit and musk.

How could you really go wrong with a scent inspired by Tiffany diamonds? Expect top notes of crisp mandarin followed by freshly cut iris and musky, patchouli finish. Luxurious, glamorous, divine. Can you smell the sparkle?

Occasion

Although we can’t think of an occasion on which you would not want to smell like diamonds, the Tiffany Eau de Parfum signature scent is perfect for a romantic dinner with your special someone or a fancy gala or special event. This scent just exudes radiance and sophistication.

Value

9.3/10

Victoria’s Secret always sticks to a simple and sexy formula, and this fragrance is no exception. With just a few key notes of vanilla orchid, Shangri-la peony, and passion fruit to give this perfume its sweet and distinctive aroma, you really cannot go wrong with Bombshell by Victoria’s Secret.

Occasion

9.4/10

Perfect for when you’re feeling fun, feminine, and flirty. So really, this perfume is perfect for any occasion.

Value

9.4/10

Victoria’s Secret makes good products, but they’re still always best to buy when on sale. Regardless, you’ll be able to pick up a 1.7-ounce bottle of this perfume for right around $30, making this one of the cheapest selections on our list.

This powerful fragrance is a mix of floral, sweet and spicy. Iris is the main note in the fragrance, followed by patchouli and the sweetness of a gourmand blend.

Occasion

9.4/10

A beautifully strong scent for the woman who is both bold and feminine. La Vie Est Belle is a bit too heavy to wear as an everyday signature scent, but perfect for any special occasion or a night out.

Value

9.6/10

The price is for the 1.7-ounce bottle, but there are other sizes available. Ladies love this option because it smells very similar to Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb, but costs a third of the price. A good cheap option!

What online reviews say: 

• “This will leave your senses fulfilled all day… sexy, sultry, feminine, joyful, and with the pure loveliness of being a woman! Of course, Julia Roberts is the model of this line! Repeat customer.”

You can wear it during the day to run some quick errands or even a romantic night on the town. Perfect for all ages from young adults to middle-aged women.”

With each spray of this Eau de Parfum you will journey to a palm-fringed beach on a remote tropical island.

So, what makes this beachy escape such a perfectly balanced fragrance? Accords of Lotus Flower and Hibiscus Palm mixed with Ylang and exotic Ginger serve as the sweet-scented base, Frangipani blends with fragrant White Blossoms for delicious mid-notes, and creamy undertones of Coconut Milk, Vanilla and Musk provide a deep, velvety finish.

Occasion

9.4/10

Light enough for daytime, while also lush enough for evening wear. Whether your spending your day in the office or at the beach, everyone you encounter will appreciate this tropical, island fragrance.

Value

9.4/10

Expensive. A 50-ml bottle will set you back between $120 and $150. But, it sure beats the price of a tropical vacation, right? If it’s within your budget, we recommend giving this fragrance a try – you won’t regret it.

And, if you’re in search of something equally as tropical but slightly less sweet, check out Wood Sage & Sea Salt by Jo Malone London. The salty and citrusy accords are both aromatic and musky.

Lots of perfumes offer up the floral-fruity combo, but this one does it spectacularly. Top notes include almond blossom, jasmine, and raspberry. It then evolves into patchouli, vanilla, and tonka bean.

Occasion

8.9/10

Wear it wherever and whenever. It smells great and doesn’t conform to one season or occasion over any other, which is another reason why this is such a hidden gem.

Value

9.1/10

Slightly pricey, but you don’t need to wear much of it so a little goes a long way. At just over $30 for a 1.6-ounce bottle, this is still one of the least expensive selections on our list.

This Jimmy Choo fragrance provides an alluring and feminine scent. It has a combination of citrus orange, sweet and floral notes of rose, and incredibly exotic Sambac jasmine. Meanwhile, notes of honey-amber accord and sandalwood add a musky and earthy smell.

Occasion

9.3/10

It is best to wear during the fall and winter days. You can also wear the fragrance in the late days of spring.

With this being such a warm scent, it’ll likely perform best in the cold winter months…or for when you’re looking to really spice things up in the bedroom.

The very top layer of this perfume is fruity (with notes of lychee and kiwi). The middle layer is where the cotton candy-sweetness comes into play with notes of white chocolate, orchid, and cupcake (yes, we said cupcake). The final layer then finishes with a deep musky scent. While all three layers seem like they may be at odds with one another, you’ll be surprised to smell how great they play together.

Occasion

8.8/10

Britney recommends you wear this with evening or romantic wear, but we say wear it whenever you’re feeling flirty or frisky.

Value
