As each new year unfurls, it brings with it the promise of fresh beginnings and renewed aspirations. It’s that time when we’re all fired up, armed with resolutions and vision boards. We renew gym memberships and vow to read more. So to help get into a vibe of fresh beginnings, here are fifteen fragrances with a bouquet of top-notch floral fragrances that are anything but ordinary.
The exciting new launch from Rare Beauty, their Find Comfort Body & Hair Fragrance Mist is a perfect example of how notes of lemon zest and smooth cashmere wood elevate the soft jasmine note. Similarly, this list of high-end perfumes goes beyond the norm of ‘stop and smell the roses.’ and is made more interesting with hints of coffee, pink peppercorn, vanilla or sandalwood.
So read on to find out your floral fragrance of the year:

While Jean Paul Gaultier might be a brand famous for their sexy perfumes, So Scandal! by Jean Paul Gaultier is as fresh as it is intoxicating. It features an burst of orange blossom, jasmine and tuberose; balancing the citrusy notes with the floral ones.

Easily one of their most luxurious offerings is the Jo Malone London Peony & Blush Suede. Like the name itself that paints a rather calming picture, this scent has crisp notes of apple, sweet notes of rose and honey and fresh notes of peonies and jasmine; making it the sweetest scent on the list.
Chloé Eau De Parfum Naturelle

Another one that sells itself as much with its beautiful bottle as it does with its woody floral scent, the Chloé Eau De Parfum Naturelle has top notes of cedrat and raspberry, heart notes of rose and neroli, and base notes of cedar and mimosa. While the cedar and raspberry take this away from the floral family to the woody or berry family, the prominence of the rose brings the freshness right back.
Tom Ford Café Rose Eau De Parfum

The name Café Rose says it all. The scent transports you to a Parisian café surrounded by rose bushes, capturing the sensuality of rose and the burst of dark coffee. So if you’re looking for a scent to wake you up yet put you in the most relaxing mood, look no further.

It also has a heart of gardenia, violet petals and jasmine petals with an infusion of musk, vanilla infusion and white wood. In all, it is a soft and warm, sensual fragrance.

Kayali won my heart with their Vanilla, Vanilla Coco and Sweet Diamond fragrances and now, the Deja Vu White Flower 57 Eau De Parfum has been added to that list. It opens with a burst of patchouli and settles with tuberose and sandalwood. It is a warm, sultry-white floral scent with additional notes of jasmine and gardenia. A must-have in my opinion!
