Elizabeth Arden’s Green Bamboo is my constant favourite scent. Having first purchased it over a decade ago, the Eau de Parfum’s blend of lemon, orange zest, green tea, and musk always takes me back to my early days in Mumbai — providing the perfect dose of nostalgia, especially on challenging days.

Intense, lingering, and a true classic, Tom Ford Ombré Leather Parfum is a constant on my shelf. For someone who is not fond of sweet-smelling, floral fragrances, this one fits me perfectly. I call it a fuss-free fragrance as it suits every mood and occasion, and thus simplifies my routine. Give me a fragrance layered with deep leathery and woody notes, and I’m sold.

The perfume that I have been obsessed with for a while now is the Miss Dior Eau de Parfum. Top notes being Damask rose and May rose from Grasse with a hint of rosewood and patchouli, makes the fragrance super sensual yet zingy. Strong yet fruity, much like my personality, this perfume deserves full points for being super long lasting, making me feel Ms. Richie Rich all day long.

My current favourite scent is the Tom Ford Fucking Fabuous. Much like its name, this perfume is unapologetically confident. Its intricate blend of rich leather, oriental notes, and warm spices creates a symphony of allure that works perfectly for every occasion. I truly believe it is a scent that mirrors today’s fashion industry – bold, exquisite, and utterly fabulous.

I love the Kayali Utopia Vanilla Coco 21. As someone who didn’t love the scent of vanilla earlier, this one is a complete game changer as the fragrance is subtle yet alluring. Its notes lean more towards the sweet side which comes from the coconut milk, honeysuckle, pear blossom notes while simultaneously being fresh thanks to its Italian lemon notes. Its subdued musky notes linger on helping you transition from day to night.

As someone still looking for their favourite signature scent, my loyalties currently lie with Jo Malone, Oud & Bergamot. The notes of citrus, oud, fresh spices and woods come together to make an exemplary scent of an edgy feminine city girl. I utterly love that it smells tremendously rich and keeps me feeling remarkable from day to night.

I am utterly and irrevocably in love with Fleur Musc for Her by Narciso Rodriquez. This one is a heady perfume. The top notes are rose (a personal favourite) and floral, both of which I adore. It is also subtly powdery – a texture I particularly enjoy. I love that it smells sweet without being cloying, has a sillage that will make heads turn and lasts a really long time. Think a whole day and then some.
