Top 10 Fragrances Perfumes For Women

Perfumes are a personal thing.  Every woman has her own taste as far as perfumes are concerned.  Floral, fruity, musky, citrus – these are the major fragrance divisions and while certain women may like fruity and some others the musky fragrances; there are some perfumes that appeal to women in general.  Here’s a list of the 10 best perfumes that have bowled the women the world over with their amazing fragrances.  All these perfumes are costly, but I have a strong opinion that women should invest in perfumes or rather not wear any perfume at all if she cannot, women should never smell cheap

1.  Chanel Coco Mademoiselle Eau De Parfum

8.  Yves Saint Laurent Belle D’Opium Eau De Parfum:

Price:  Rs. 6500

There are many variants in YSL opium, I have used the YSL Oriental Limited edition one, which I felt was too strong for me, but the a majority of women love the Opium fragrance.  This one is described as a warm, comforting, soothing, strong, suitable for evening fragrance that falls in the oriental woody and spicy category.  It stays on for hours together with the strong notes.

10.  Issey Miyake Pleats Please Eau De Toilette:

Price:  Rs. 2500

Winding up with my favourite fragrance.  So many people have sniffed it on me and made the purchase, its so awesome. You should definitely test it at the counter if you like this kind of a fragrance which is effervescent and fresh. Its a luminous, joyful, floral bouquet with addictive base notes combine the sweetness of vanilla layered over vibrant woody notes.  Lasts for up to 10 hours.  Though its an intense perfume, its not dark, heavy, or mysterious, and will not wither down to a pungent scent at the end of the day.
