Who doesn’t love a good cocktail? They’re delicious and sipping on a Cosmopolitan or indulging in a Vanilla White Russian is a vibe, a mood, and a statement all in one glass. So, why not carry that feeling with you all day? There’s something incredibly fun about wearing a fragrance that evokes your favourite drink, and with the right perfume, you can enjoy those vibes any time—without the hangover! From fruity daiquiris to classic old-fashioned style, here’s a guide to the best his-and-hers perfumes inspired by popular cocktails, complete with a mix of luxury scents and my own two cents.
Cosmopolitan
Her Scent: Valentino Voce Viva EDP
The Cosmopolitan is a timeless classic, just like Valentino Voce Viva Eau de Parfum. This fragrance is for the woman who lights up every room—sparkling, vibrant, and undeniably feminine. With notes of Italian bergamot, orange blossom, and a hint of vanilla, Voce Viva captures the bright, sweet-tart essence of a Cosmopolitan. It’s bold yet approachable, perfect for an evening out or whenever you need a boost of confidence.

His Scent: Tom Ford Noir Extreme
For him, I suggest Tom Ford Noir Extreme. Imagine the warmth of a Cosmopolitan captured in a masculine form with hints of spicy cardamom, neroli, and mandarin. It’s the perfect blend of sweet and spicy, making it ideal for the man who’s not afraid to take centre stage. Just like the classic cocktail, it’s got that irresistible edge that keeps people coming back for more.

Fruit Daiquiri
Her Scent: Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Sun
For her, the Fruit Daiquiri vibes come alive with Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Sun. This fragrance is basically summer in a bottle with notes of coconut, tropical fruits, and Osmanthus that remind me of lazy beach days with a daiquiri in hand. It’s fresh, fun, and makes you feel like you’re on vacation, even when you’re stuck at your desk. Light Blue Sun is for the girl who loves sunshine, fun, and flirty scents.

Eze Nomad perfume captures the boldness of a Fruit Daiquiri but in a distinctly masculine way. With notes of pineapple, apple and black currant add a whiff of sunny climes all around. It’s like a burst of sunshine wrapped in sophistication with musk, and amber notes—perfect for the guy who wants to keep things light and breezy but still a little mysterious.

Vanilla White Russian
Her Scent: Prada Infusion de Vanille
The Vanilla White Russian is indulgent, creamy, and oh-so-decadent, perfectly captured in Prada Infusion de Vanille. This fragrance is an absolute dream, with smoky vanilla with sparkling neroli and a cosy, comforting vibe that feels like being wrapped in a luxurious cashmere blanket. It’s the kind of scent that makes you want to curl up on a chilly night with a real White Russian in hand. Sweet, but never overwhelming.

His Scent: Maison Margiela Replica Coffee Break
Maison Margiela Replica Coffee Break captures the creamy, indulgent nature of a Vanilla White Russian with notes of coffee, vanilla, and milk. This scent is warm and comforting, it’s like sipping on a spiked coffee cocktail—smooth, slightly sweet, and irresistibly inviting. Wear it when you want to feel cosy but still sharp enough to take on the day.

Bourbon Old Fashioned
Her Scent: The Body Shop White Musk® Eau De Parfum
For her, The Body Shop White Musk® Eau De Parfum channels a fresh blend of warm and floral notes. This perfume has an uplifted, maybe even nostalgic complex vibe. This isn’t a bourbon-dominated scent but white musk is the closest one we have. It’s for the woman who loves a little edge and isn’t afraid to stand out

His Scent: Bath & Body Works Bourbon Cologne
For him, Bath & Body Works Bourbon Cologne is the perfect olfactory companion. It captures the smooth, smoky vibe of an Old Fashioned with a blend of white pepper, dark amber, and Kentucky oak. It’s warm, masculine, and full of depth, just like a well-aged bourbon. This cologne is perfect for the man who loves a bit of rugged charm, and it’ll have you smelling like you just stepped out of a swanky speakeasy. It’s one of those scents that sticks with you—in the best possible way.
