Perfumes & Preferences

For her (Scents)

Well, mainly for me. The scents may smell differently to how your brain perceived it and I highly recommend asking sales ladies at department-store counters to spray on your arm and walk around the mall the whole day to determine if it’s suitable for your body temperature.

Rank	Brand	Item	Remark
1	Guerlain	Mon Guerlain Bloom of Rose	This is probably the best perfume that I have ever come across. It's fresh and flowery but with a lot of elegance in it.
2	Guerlain	Mon Guerlain Sparkling Bouquet	Haven't smelled it yet but I'm reserving this spot for it. That's how exciting it is to me.
3	Guerlain	Mon Guerlain	It's very gentle and elegant. It smelled like a humble and elegant Queen to me. It's mainly flowery but not overwhelmingly.
4	Guerlain	Aqua Allegoria Rosa Rossa	Possibly one of the best rose smell that I've ever smelled. It lasted quite well too.
5	Gucci	Memoire D'une Odeur	A mix of cotton, softness, and comfort. I need to smell this to sleep soundly.
6	Maison Francis Kurkdjian	Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait de Parfum [Review]	Gorgeous scent. In my mind, it's the highest tier amongst all other perfumes here. Extrait lasts longer than regular.
7	Maison Francis Kurkdjian	Baccarat Rouge 540 [Review]	Warm with a hint of excitement. Gives me the feeling of wearing a bare back sparkling dress in a formal event.
8	Ariana Grande	Cloud	A lighter, younger and whole lot more affordable version than MFK Baccarat Rouge 540
9	Le Labo	Noir 29	The first spritz wasn't so good but as the time passes, it slowly became more and more yummy.
10	Rihanna	Reb'l Fleur	Sweet candy-like but at the same time has an elegant sexy velvet feeling to it. Velvet skittles, yeah.
11	Guerlain	Aqua Allegoria Pera Granita	This is the bestseller scent for the Aqua Allegoria line in Malaysia. I like it, it's quite fresh and peary.
12	Maison Francis Kurkdjian	féminin Plurier [Review]	It's the smell of a stylish and modern young lady who's polish and in control of her life.
13	Maison Francis Kurkdjian	À la rose [Review]	A very light rose garden scent. You can smell the leaves too.
14	Coach	Dreams	It's interesting, the smell of cactus flower is so aqua-oriented and flowery.
15	Coach	Floral	It's a nice flowery smell but the middle-bottom notes doesn't mix well with my temperature.
16	Maison Francis Kurkdjian	Aqua Universalis [Review]	The smell of fresh Spring morning with some beautiful citrus trees nearby and amazing blue sky.
17	Maison Francis Kurkdjian	Amyris Femme [Review]	It is almost on par with Guerlain but it has a lighter and more Victorian-esque scent.
18	Maison Francis Kurkdjian	Aqua Celestia Forte [Review]	For some reasons it gives me the oasis and cactus flower type of feeling. Very light, fresh and flowery.
19	Versace	Dylan Blue Pour Femme	This scent is surprisingly amazing. It's not an everyday smell for me though. 10ml bottle is gorgeous and tempting!
20	Trussardi	Donna	The kind-yet-rich lady smell. I'll wear this if I wanna be the Wizard of Oz White Witch aunty to my nieces and nephews.


19	Ariana Grande	Moonlight	Romantic under the moonlight. No, really! It really smells like that!
20	Guerlain	Aqua Allegoria Flora Cherrysia	I like the fresh floral scent. It's very lightweight. Heard it's the bestseller amongst Aqua Allegoria line in Japan.
21	Ariana Grande	Ari	Ariana smells so sweet but it's kind of more towards the younger side of the market.
22	Guerlain	Aqua Allegoria Rosa Pop	Rosie but a lil more towards teenage angsty compared to Rosa Rossa.
23	Guerlain	Aqua Allegoria Orange Soleia	It was a fresher orange scent than what I've smelled. Very simple and suitable for all occassions.
24	Christian Dior	Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet	It's.... okay? Very common and it could be better but then again that's just me.
25	Lancome	Tresor Midnight Rose	I like it but it's not entirely what I want to wear. Great for a sexy dinner though.
26	Ariana Grande	R.E.M.	This is on the muskier side as compared to all Ari perfumes.
27	Carolina Herrera	Good Girl Supreme	Bare back sexy. I wish this is the bad-ass villain's main perfume. Like, stepping on men with high heels.
28	Carolina Herrera	Good Girl	Tamer side of the Good Girl Supreme.
29	Salvatore Ferragamo	Incanto Charms	The bottle design may be a "meh" but the scent is surprisingly decent!
30	Ariana Grande	Sweet Like Candy	It's very sweet. That's all. Mmmhm.
31	Guerlain	Aqua Allegoria Mandarine Basilic	It smells nice and very fitting for festive season (Chinese) but it is a little bit bitter for my liking.
32	Ariana Grande	Thank You, Next.	My bf said it smelled like crayon. I don't like the vanilla in it.
33	Lancome	La Vie Est Belle	It wasn't as great as expected from the hypes. It was rather alright but definitely better than YSL.
34	Lancome	La Vie est Belle L'Éclat	It has more of the orangey smell to it. Could be a bit bitter if the quality had changed.
35	Yves Saint Laurent	Mon Paris	I...thought it was great at first but the vanilla-soy smell is so thick, I couldn't stand it.
36	Yves Saint Laurent	Black Opium	This is a very musky scent which is quite unisex-oriented but it's absolutely not for me.
37	Chloe	Love Story	It's pretty decent and it's quite a common scent.
38	Givenchy	Irressistable	Candy-sweet. That's it. Maybe slightly better than Zara-esque perfumes.
39	Paco Robanne	Olympea	It's very sweet and sophisticated.
40	Paco Robanne	Olympea Blossom	It's a little close to high-end toilet perfume scent.
41	Paco Robanne	Lady Million	Citrusy but a little too bitter for my liking.
42	Yves Saint Laurent	Libre	It's equally muskier or not as musky as Black Opium but very much on the sexy formal event type.
43	Gucci	Bloom Acqua Nettare Ambrosia Profumo	They are very underwhelming for me. Not very special.
44	Tom Ford	Lost Cherry	It was too musky for my nose. I think if you like uniquely musky scent, this may be for you.
45	Maison Francis Kurkdjian	Grand Soir [Review]	It's so musky. If anyone wants to know what is the most manliest smell (the sweaty, power, and beardy type), this is it.
46	Prada	Candy Florale EDT	It is not very sweet but there isn't a lot of specialness to it.
47	Gucci	Guilty	I know I don't like it but it's so unmemorable, I don't recall why I didn't like it.
48	Guerlain	Aqua Allegoria Coconut Fizz	If you like coconut scents, this is for you. Just.. not for me.
49	Versace	Bright Crystal	Sweet. Very sweet.
50	Dolce & Gabbana	Light Blue Intense	Extremely sweet. Zara-esque.
51	Estee Lauder	Pleasures Bloom	Sweet but suitable for people a little over the age of 28.
52	Zara	Orchid	Probably the best smell in Zara. This is the newest I've smelled. I've stopped checking on Zara perfumes ever since then.
53	Zara	White	Suitable for OL. Affordable too.
54	Zara	Turquoise Green	It's kind of nice but it's discontinued.
55	Zara	Gardenia	Muskier floral scent.

1	Carolina Herrera	212 Heroes Forever Young	It's a very unique blend that is suitable for almost all occassions and ages. The layering is not like any male perfume I've smelt yet.
2	Coach	Blue For Men	It's the fresher side of the Coach Men perfumes. It's citrusy yet suitable for formal events.
3	Coach	For Men	It's almost similar to blue but this has more amber and spicy side to it.
4	Maison Francis Kurkdjian	Ameris Homme [Review]	Suit and tie with this scent? Oh, to die for. It's the clear-judgement, respectable, and sexy CEO smell for me.
5	Maison Francis Kurkdjian	L'Homme À la Rose [Review]	Best rosey smell for men. No, really, this makes me crazy about putting men and rose scent together.
6	Maison Francis Kurkdjian	OUD Silk Mood [Review]	A very gentleman scent that is soothing and brings a relaxing atmosphere.
7	Maison Francis Kurkdjian	OUD Satin Mood [Review]	This is similar to OUD Silk Mood but it's on the muskier yet vacation-chill side.
8	Versace	Eros Flame	It really does smell like its name: FLAME. If you like really musky scents but doesn't want to smell extremely heavy, this is the perfume.
9	Maison Francis Kurkdjian	Grand Soir [Review]	If you wanna smell like a "real man", you know the sweaty, muscular, heavy weight and all hands in dirt type. Then again, this is more suitable for formal events.
10	Versace	Eros	Less memorable than I remember but if I liked the Eros Flame, I'd assume the very lesser musky scent is nice too.
11	Mont Blanc	Explorer	This musky scent is rather interesting. I like the top notes but the middle-bottom notes depends on your body temperature. The leather is something tho.
12	Christian Dior	Sauvage	Not as impressive as I hoped it'll be but I guess Johnny Depp is one of the few who can really carry this scent.
