The Best Floral Perfumes Are More Unique Than You Think
Love 'em or hate 'em, floral perfumes are arguably the most popular fragrance category—and one of the most diverse, according to certified fragrance specialist Eudora Nwasike. That's right, you don't have to opt for something super-sweet or hyper-femme when choosing a floral scent. Blossoming flowers in all variations serve as a versatile base, contrasting and blending numerous notes—from fresh citrus to woody spice—for a scent profile that's far more unique. 'Floral scents just aren't for me,' I've proclaimed countless times, with a raging individualist complex that led me to dislike anything other than hyper-moody, and spice-forward fragrances. Little did I know, florals could be sensual and mysterious, too. It was Merit's Retrospect that turned me into a believer, thanks to senior beauty writer Kiana Murden who encouraged me to try a spritz from the sculptural bottle displayed with reverence on her desk. Senior fashion writer Cortne Bonilla shared in my same scent trepidations, telling me amidst one of our many office yapping sessions, 'I'm not a sweet, floral type of gal—this coordinates with my wardrobe, as well. I prefer a little spice, a little steam.' Color us shocked when we learned that her signature scent, Maison Francis Kurkdjian's Baccarat Rouge 540, is, in fact, a floral variation. Below, discover Vogue's 11 favorite unique floral perfumes to sport this spring and summer, with options for every mood, personality, and carefully curated aesthetic.

'Spring florals are delicate, fresh, and airy,' says Nwasike. 'Common flowers include lily of the valley, peony, and iris. These scents evoke a youthful, light-hearted feeling — like a garden just beginning to bloom.' On the hand, Nwasike says summer florals are 'brighter, bolder, and often have a rich, lush quality.' 'They're frequently paired with fruity or tropical notes, creating a sun-drenched, radiant effect on the skin. Key blooms include ylang-ylang, frangipani, and tuberose.' What are the different types of florals? AccordionItemContainerButton LargeChevron Nwasike reminds us that florals are by no means one size fits all in nature.

DB Cosmetics drops the dupe collection of the year with $12.99 fragrances inspired by cult perfumes
Aussie shoppers are obsessed with this new perfume collection that's only $12.99 each but smells like a $611 cult favourite. The six-piece fragrance range that launched this week is already making waves for delivering luxe-level scent experiences without the sky-high price tags. Inspired by best-selling perfumes from prestige houses like Frederic Malle, Fenty, Kayali, and Maison Francis Kurkdjian, this collection makes it possible to smell like a designer label — on a drugstore budget. The standout of the collection is Painted Lady, DB's bold and romantic take on Frederic Malle's Portrait of a Lady, a fragrance that typically retails for a staggering $611. Painted Lady recreates the beloved scent with a lush blend of rose petals, spiced amber, and juicy dark berries. The result is an opulent, complex perfume that feels every bit as elegant and sophisticated — at a fraction of the cost. Amanda Connors, Global Chief Marketing Officer at Total Beauty Network, says the new range is about changing the perception of what affordable beauty can be. 'We wanted to show that smelling incredible doesn't have to cost a fortune. Our new fragrance range is luxurious, long-lasting and crafted with care. It's everything you'd expect from a high-end perfume, without the high-end price.' And Painted Lady is just the beginning. The full collection includes: Fancy: A zesty, floral-musk scent inspired by Fenty Eau de Parfum, blending fruit-forward top notes with a sensual musky base. Burning Love: DB's version of Kayali's Burning Cherry, leans into smoky sweetness with cherry, praline, and rich woods. Fluidité: Inspired by Maison Francis Kurkdjian's Gentle Fluidity Gold, offers warm vanilla, nutmeg, and amber in a comforting, gender-neutral blend. Chaos: A bold white floral homage to Robert Piguet's Fracas, stars lush tuberose with soft gardenia and jasmine. All six fragrances are vegan, cruelty-free, and formulated to last, ticking every box for modern beauty lovers who want ethical elegance without compromise. From the packaging to the performance, DB's Winter fragrance drop is being hailed as one of the most successful designer-inspired perfume collections to ever land in Australian stores.

Master Perfumer Francis Kurkdjian On His Newest Scent, Kurky
Francis Kurkdjian Kurky is the latest release from the famed French-Armenian perfumer, Francis Kurkdjian, who's also the nose behind cult classics like Baccarat Rouge 540 and of course, founder of his namesake fragrance house, Maison Francis Kurkdjian. Since launching the brand in 2009, now part of the LVMH family, Kurkdjian has built a reputation for offering elegant scents, and creating what he calls a 'fragrance wardrobe' to suit every mood and occasion. Kurky by Maison Francis Kurkdjian The latest fragrance to join the family, Kurky is a playful, color-splashed scent that pays homage to his childhood (short for Kurkdjian), channeling the freedom and fun of one's inner child, tapping into the whimsical side of the Maison — the master perfumer tells us more. Francis Kurkdjian: Inspiration is the hidden part of creation. It is also the most difficult creative stage to explain for me as creative inputs may come from diverse sources. Kurky comes during a moment of my creative life when I want to introduce the idea of letting go. I wanted something that would make people smile, a scent that contrasts with the overbearing seriousness of an industry dominated by pompous adjectives. Kurky is beautifully simple, fun, lighthearted, and there to awaken one's inner child. 'All grown-ups were once children, but only few of them remember it,' said Saint-Exupéry's Little Prince; it's an antidote to grey days, to pessimism. Instead, Kurky is an invitation to experience life through a rainbow of colors, and for grown-ups who dare to dream like kids. Maison Francis Kurkdjian carries this part of childhood within it, and has done since its earliest days; in 2009, Les bulles d'Agathe (Agathe's bubbles), was a5 nod to the olfactory education of the youngest children with scented soap bubbles. It's about the pleasure of simple things; there's nothing more chic. Francis Kurkdjian as a child FK: I always start with the name when I develop a fragrance. It gives me direction; it frames all the ideas I may have in mind. It works for me as a mood board. Since I can remember, people always had a hard time pronouncing my Armenian family name. So Kurky is a friendly nickname given to me by my very close friends, it's short for Kurkdjian, and some of them still call me that since I was little. I like the fact it resonates well with quirky and kooky, and sounds friendly. The name was born spontaneously, without too much deliberation, out of creativity and freedom. Like a sudden smile or a burst of laughter. FK: When creating Kurky, my vision was a mouthwatering scent that would feel juicy, fun and quirky, a little addictive but far from traditional gourmand accords. It needed to be sweet enough to make your mouth water like a sweet treat, but still maintain a light, freshness to it. Imagine a large bubble of musk, to which I attached a tutti-frutti accord with facets of peach and raspberry, with a subtle hint of creamy vanilla. Like a sweet, tangy candy. Kurky by Maison Francis Kurkdjian FK: In my mind, the Maison Francis Kurkdjian customer is typically someone who values quality, sophistication, and emotional connection through scent. I guess they follow my interest and my love for aesthetically driven ideas and/or products, appreciating art, design, and craftsmanship. I am emotionally intuitive, so fragrance is for me as a form of self-expression. I believe my wearers of my scents are curious and seek uniqueness beyond mainstream trends. I do not believe in a fragrance being perfect for only one type of person. To me, a fragrance, like how you dress yourself from day to day, should reflect your mood, your personality, or who you want to be in that moment. This philosophy is what I called the 'Fragrance Wardrobe'. Finally, I hope Kurky will touch all those who feel that insatiable desire for freedom, those who see life unconventionally, while bringing out a smile on their face. FK: All my creations are special and dear to me, and I treasure theirs behind the scenes stories. Kurky isn't about the past or nostalgia at all. On the contrary, it is resolutely contemporary. It reflects a form of surprise, that wonder that can be lost once we enter adulthood. Kurky is about awakening the child you once were, to break away from all the rules imposed on grown-ups. It means jumping into a puddle, allowing yourself to love candy…even when you're a grown-up! FK: Later this year, we will have an amazing brand-new activation for our iconic scent Baccarat Rouge 540, and this fall, we'll be hosting in Paris a very special celebration of my 30th career anniversary. Stay tuned!

Aussie retailer brings back sell-out $29 'dupe' of popular $135 designer item: 'I've had so many compliments'
A hair fragrance inspired by the iconic designer scent Baccarat Rouge 540 by Maison Francis Kurkdjian is back in stock after selling out on its first run. Saffron Bloom, one of three new hair perfumes from Oz Hair and Beauty, has been compared to the decadently warm and rich fragrance, but at a fraction of the price at just $28.99. Hair fragrance has been having a moment, with beauty brands and perfume houses both getting in on the trend. High-end fragrance names such as Diptyque, Tom Ford, Jo Malone and Byredo have released hair-friendly versions of their bestsellers, while Rare Beauty and Sol de Janeiro among the beauty brands who've added hair mists to their offerings. Since its launch just over 10 years ago, it has cemented itself as a modern classic - luxe, sophisticated and universally appealing. But that unique, woody yet floral fragrance comes with an eye-watering price tag. Baccarat Rouge 540 retails for an eye-popping $135 per 70ml bottle (though that is a steal compared to the Eau de Parfum, $438 for 70ml). In contrast, Saffron Bloom will set you back just $28.99 for 100ml. It joins two other fragrances, Salted Coconut and Pink Candy, to form a collection that speaks to all personalities and tastes. Perfect for evoking a feeling of holidays, Salted Coconut is 'a tropical escape in a bottle', infused with a creamy coconut and a hint of sea salt. Pink Candy is an ultra feminine sugary floral fragrance, sweet without being overpowering. Saffron Bloom features exotic notes of saffron and amber, light sweetness of jasmine and the 'earthy depth' of cedar, enveloping hair in an 'effortlessly luxe' aroma. Saffron Bloom, $28.99, is inspired by Baccarat Rouge 540 by Maison Francis Kurkdjiani (right), which costs $135 for a 70ml hair mist, while the Eau de Parfum retails for $438 While many would think nothing of adding a few spritzes to their hair while spraying their Eau de Parfum in the morning, the alcohol content of most perfumes can strip the hair of moisture, causing damage with regular use. A hair fragrance is specifically formulated with lower or no alcohol, and with added moisturising ingredients to protect and care for hair health. Oz Hair and Beauty's new collection is designed to add a beautiful aroma to hair without damaging or weighing it down. The alcohol-free formula is suitable for all hair types, including keratin-treated hair, as it is also free from sulphates (SLS/SLES), parabens and synthetic colours. It locks in moisture to keep hair soft and hydrated, shiny and vibrant. Customers are raving about the exquisite scent which they say is long lasting and is garnering them plenty of compliments. 'I'm so impressed with this hair perfume!' one shopper wrote of Saffron Bloom. 'The scent is fresh and luxurious without being overpowering, and it lasts throughout the day. Also doesn't leave my hair feeling oily or heavy - just refreshed. 'I've had so many compliments since I started using it! It's definitely become a staple in my haircare routine.' Another customer added: 'Just got this hair perfume and I'm obsessed! It smells amazing and doesn't make my hair feel greasy at all. 'I've been using it pretty much every day, and the scent lasts forever.' 'With hair perfume trending worldwide, we knew it was time to introduce an affordable yet high-quality option to the market,' said Anthony Nappa, CEO of the hair and beauty brand retailer. 'These scents are designed to be lightweight, long-lasting, and complementary to your haircare routine, giving you a fresh, fragrant finish all day long.' 'Fragrance is such an important part of self-expression, and now you can extend that to your hair with scents that are luxurious yet accessible.'

6 pricey perfumes celebrities actually wear and don't get paid to promote
Celebrities endorse everything from clothing to make-up and fragrances, but that doesn't mean they use them. From Justin Bieber to Olivia Rodrigo, here's a list of what perfumes they actually use It's not about the clothes or the accessories, but perfume can say a lot about a person. When it comes to famous people, it's not weird to want to know what our favourite celebrity smells like, right? Many of us get drawn into buying a perfume just because our favourite celebrity is endorsing it. Many celebrities collaborate with high-end brands to promote certain fragrances, while some even come up with their own perfume brands. But sometimes they end up wearing other scents than the ones that they are paid to endorse. If you've ever wanted to smell like your favourite A-lister, this is your chance. Just a heads up, they're quite expensive. The Mirror have compiled a list of perfumes celebrities actually wear. Rihanna - Kilian Love, Don't Be Shy - £225.00 Rihanna owns the makeup and fragrance brand Fenty Beauty. Her company offers a wide range of cosmetics, skincare, and fragrance products. Nonetheless, that's not what the singer allegedly smells like on a day-to-day basis. According to Harper's Bazaar, Rihanna's go-to scent is Don't Be Shy by Kilian Love. Back in 2016, the singer filmed a video with her friend @StylishGent, where he revealed that the singer was wearing this perfume. In short, RiRi smells like a marshmallow, vanilla and orange combined - which makes total sense. Taylor Swift - Tobacco Vanille by Tom Ford - £237.45 What does the biggest pop star in the world, Taylor Swift, smell like? A scene from her 2020 Netflix documentary Miss Americana shows the singer backstage during a show of her Reputation tour, which seemed to have revealed her favourite fragrance brand as Tom Ford, as a bottle of Tom Ford's Santal Blush appeared on the frame. But, Tom Ford's Tobacco Vanille is believed to be her actual signature scent, which is a rich, warm blend of vanilla and smoky tobacco. As per Cosmopolitan, the singer admitted to having worn Tom Ford during the 2024 VMA Awards. Ariana Grande - Neroli Portofino by Tom Ford - £222.00 Ariana Grande has released 10 perfume lines, based on the titles of her albums. Although the singer has publicly admitted to using her own perfumes, with her favourite one being MOD Vanilla EDP, she also opts for other popular scents. The singer smells like Tom Ford's Neroli Portofino, Yahoo! News revealed. It's a Mediterranean-inspired scent, featuring a citrusy-fresh aroma including neroli, bergamot, and Sicilian lemon. Going back to her Italian roots, it also reflects her youthful spirit with an elegant, warm twist. Olivia Rodrigo - Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540 During an interview with GQ Magazine, Olivia Rodrigo revealed that her favourite perfume was Baccarat Rouge 540 by Maison Francis Kurkdjian. Despite its hefty price tag, its smell is just so heavenly, with notes of jasmine, saffron, ambergris mineral and cedar. It also isn't the first time that Olivia shared her go-to perfume, as during an interview with Vogue in 2021, she said to 'like perfumes that have a natural musk.' Not only does it suit her charismatic persona, but it also transmits some of her some bold character! Harry Styles - Gucci's Mémoire D'une Odeur - £71.00 Despite his global success, Harry Styles keeps it pretty simple when it comes to fragrances. As written by Huda Beauty 's blog, the British singer's signature scent, Mémoire D'une Odeur by Gucci, isn't only the cheapest on the list, but it's also a genderless fragrance. Not only is the bottle so pretty and chic, the perfume has a combination of chamomile, Indian jasmine, bitter almond as well as woodsy notes including sandalwood and cedarwood. Although it leans more towards the feminine side, Harry Styles is the person that can definitely pull it off. Justin Bieber - Le Labo Santal 33 - £170.00 Just like Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber has also released fragrances of his own during the early stages of his hugely successful singing career. But what does he wear daily? Well, it's Le Labo Santal 33. What's so special about this unisex scent is that it combines cardamom with notes of iris and violet. It's also slightly woodsy and smoky, creating a unique fragrance that's just so addicting and comforting.
