Gen-z approved makeup and skincare brand, Glossier, delivered its first perfume back in 2019.

3. Le PÈRE par Blaise Mautin
Le PÈRE par Blaise Mautin $200 100 mL
This unisex Fragrance was created by master French perfumer, Blaise Mautin. Launched during NYFW this year, The scent captures the essence of sensuality and includes deep musk tones which complement softer, floral notes, resulting in a sophisticated carnality. Notes include patchouli, santal, vanilla, musk, and cedar. I believe in splurging on top-quality fragrances and this embodies that, you truly get your money’s worth. Shop it here
4. Ariana Grande – MOD Vanilla
Ariana Grande – MOD Vanilla $68 3.4 oz
If you’re looking for MOD Blush you can read that elsewhere because I’m solely here for MOD Vanilla. The sweetness you’d expect from any Vanilla scent is in there, but with dark plum and musk for its finishing. When my sister and best friend both purchased this, I immediately wanted my own. MOD Vanilla is Unisex and can be worn any time of day – but I’d suggest it for date night. Shop it here
5. Fine’ry Fragrance
FIne’ry – Sweet on the outside $27.99 2.02 fl oz
When Tiktok gets its hands on a trend, it’s at least worth giving a try. I kept seeing videos of influencers raving over the latest beauty finds at Target – Fine’ry Fragrance, the designer-inspired scents. I was only able to smell 6 of the 9 scents (as a result of them being sold out) and I can say- I’m a fan! The collection includes 9 scents that will remind you of the likes of Chanel, Tom Ford, and Byredo Sundaze. Shop it here
6. KAYALI – Yum Pistachio Gelato | 33 EDP Intense
KAYALI – Yum Pistachio Gelato | 33 EDP Intense $138 3.4 oz
KAYALI launches its most unforgettable scent to date. A girl’s trip to Rome led founder, Mona Kattan, to create her ultimate guilty pleasure in a bottle. This yummy scent has that Pistachio in there, but with whipped cream, hazelnut, and cotton candy for grounding. Shop it here
7. FENTY by Rihanna – Fenty Eau de Parfum
FENTY by Rihanna – Fenty Eau de Parfum $140 2.5 oz / 75 mL
What can’t Rihanna do? (let’s hold back on the delivery of her album, she’s pregnant guys!). Known for doing things on her own terms, the super-star released her first fragrance under the Fenty corp in 2021 and it quickly made its way to the top of our favorite go-to scents. You have to smell this to understand why it’s included, it’s also unisex-safe! The Top notes include magnolia, musk, tangerine, and Bulgarian rose. Shop it here
8. Devil’s Advocate by Iggy Azalea – Eau de Parfum
Devil’s Advocate by Iggy Azalea – Eau de Parfum $57 1.7 fl Oz
Artist, Mother, and Mogul, Iggy Azalea, delivered one of the most gorgeous scents in 2021. I quickly ordered a bottle and guys – wow! Once dried with notes of Bergamot combined with Olibanum Crystals it made me the center of attention at work (not shocked!). This scent is sparkling with freshness, and juicy citrus notes of Mandarin and Bergamot combine with the richness of Olibanum crystals. Intoxicating Vanilla Orchid unites with the warmth of sustainable, ethically sourced Australian Sandalwood, enhancing the exotic Patchouli leaves for an enticing heart note. Shop it here
