As Coco Chanel once said, “Perfume heralds a woman’s arrival and prolongs her departure” so as we want to make sure, your arrival and departure are forever remembered in this article we introduce you to the best perfume brands for women.
What defines our first brand, StrangeLove as a premium luxury brand is the pure, sustainably sourced Oud, quality craftsmanship and rare ingredients. The journey this brand has towards the current position they occupy in the market, started when CEO Elizabeth Gaynes moved from Rome to New York, and helped a Bornean friend with business development and marketing for sustainable farming, while working with her, major fragrance houses were eager to make business with them, and eventually, they partnered with one, this was where she was introduced to ingredients to fragrances. Once the partnership ended, she decided she wanted to start a business purely dedicated to sustainability and quality using rare unusual ingredients, this is how Strangelove was launched in 2014, at Harrod’s Salon de Parfums with one pure perfume oil called DeadOfnight.
After this initial fragrance, the brand launched more, including one of our favorite picks, Meltmyheart, which captures an enduring link between like-minded individuals in a tender and beautiful way. This scent is an absolute celebration of love and romance, perfect for a special date night, or an outstanding gift, given its particular odor, a unique combination of aromas, and the fact that it has a special design of it, such as a little flower pendant necklace. Another great variation of this fragrance is its oil, which is appealingly presented in a unique custom designed 24 karats gold-pleated cap. You may also like to combine this fragrance with LostInFlowers, or DeadOfNight.
As we couldn’t pick just one fragrance, our second recommendation is, the lostinflowers fragrance, which captures the electrifying moment of discovery when two destined wanderers eventually cross paths and conjures the excitement of new love. This alluring aroma is airy and profound, bursting with the enticing thrill of authentic floral essences, which as well has interesting variations and presentations such as a potion pendant, pure perfume oil, and pure perfume oil vials.
The second brand chosen is Tiziana Terenzi. Three artistic scent brands—Tiziana Terenzi, V Canto, and Giardino Benessere—were jointly developed by the Terenzi siblings, Paolo and Tiziana. They grew up surrounded by scents and were taught to become noses their entire lives by their dad, Evelino Terenzi. They were born into a household of creators and noses. Two creative geniuses get together to create the perfumes during the production process. By selecting the ideal blend of essences, Paolo brings beauty and art to life in liquid form, and Tiziana completes the fragrance’s narrative by creating a sensory experience that accurately captures the fragrance’s intended emotions. The sensations and emotions of the perfume are told in an engaging way through the interplay of creation and communication. For their priceless creations, only the finest natural and raw materials are used, and they are fully handcrafted in Italy. They represent more than just scents; rather, they represent a journey through feelings and memories.
Within this brand, we have three exclusive picks; Leo, Ursa, and Tyrenum. Leo is an inspiration from a large zodiacal constellation in the northern hemisphere, its olfactory pyramid consists of Brazilian orange, Indian Sambac, and Italian oak. The second pick, Ursa, Around Lake Como is where this fragrance’s history begins. A body of water that has always intrigued us because it is far deeper than our home sea while still being encircled by stunning mountains. This essence consists of Nutmeg, Patchouli, and Vanilla.
Our third pick is Tyrenum, this essence is inspired by the historic city in Puglia currently known as Trani, formerly known as Tyrenum, a land bathed in the sea and buffeted by the wind, where for millennia sailors from all over the world have sought to find refuge because of its alluring beauty, served as inspiration for the creation.
Introducing our third chosen brand, we present you to Frederic Malle. Malle was the grandson of Serge Heftler-Louiche, founder of Parfums Christian Dior and childhood friend of the couturier himself. It is like this, that he acquired the notion that a perfume may be a genuine luxury item that is so enduring it can serve as a lifetime companion. He became an expert in formulation and raw materials while working at Laboratories Roure. In 2000, he founded Editions de perfumes, after acquiring experience.
With this, he is devoted to protecting at all costs a perfumery of authors that is free and unique and where each Nose is respected as an own artist. Here, we introduce you to Dominique Ropion The Night, this scent is an ode to the middle east. Led by an unprecedented amount of oud, oud connoisseurs will fall head over heels for this romantic and elegant fragrance, which is combined with Turkish rose and saffron on a lush bed of frankincense and sandalwood.
The objective of Frédéric Malle is to elevate perfumery to a completely new creative level. If you wish to pair this fragrance with others, we strongly recommend you do it with Promise Hair Mist, Uncut Gem by Maurice Roucel, or Le Parfum De Therese. Other exquisite fragrances by this brand are “Superstitious”, “Synthetic Jungle”, and “Sale Gosse”.
As for our fourth pick, we introduce you to Penhaligons, which is an exclusive English brand with a strong heritage. This brand’s story goes way back to 1837, with William Penhaligon, who started as a barber and became a fragrance creator. A few years after establishing his first barbershop. Penhaligon created his first scent, inspired by the Turkish baths, where he used to work as an in-house barber. His son, Walter Penhaligon, inherits the company and is commissioned to create the Iconic Blenheim Bouquet for the 9th Duke of Marlborough.
In 1975, the brand opened its store after receiving two royal warrants. This store was a total success, displaying all of the unique and exclusive aromas the brand offers. In 1988, His Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales, gave the brand its third royal warrant, and until this day, the brand continues to achieve great success. Our picked fragrance from this brand is Terrible Teddy. The story behind the scent of this unmissable perfume, stars Teddy, who ensnares innocent souls with his aroma of leather, incense, and ambroxan as he thrives on the excitement of the hunt. Being a smooth operator, he has Heartless Helen in mind till he meets the Duke.
This fragrance follows a similar path as Teddy’s, being a figure of mystery, an enigma to most, bold, and dazzling, yet subtle and shy at the same time. This fragrance is specifically characterized by its spectacular personality which makes it very distinctive. Bestsellers of this brand include the Halfeti fragrance, the Coveted Duchess rose, and “The Favorite”.
Our final and most exclusive recommendation is Lalique. The story of this brand goes way back to 1860 with the birth of Rene Lalique in France. Starting off as a jeweler after his father’s death, Lalique gained a lot of recognition and success, having worked with brands such as Cartier, Boucheron, and Jacta. Rene revolutionized jewelry in the 1900s and became a strong favorite for socialites.
After the founder’s death, his daughter Marie-Claude Lalique became head of the business and established the fragrance business in 1992. Within this brand, our top recommendation is the Soleil Lalique Crystal Edition. This signed and numbered crystal perfume bottle, which is hand-painted with 23.5-karat gold rays, is a priceless collector’s item. The sumptuous Soleil Lalique Extrait de perfume is housed in the magnificent and ultra-exclusive falcon in its purest state, brimming with mouthwatering notes of cardamom, almond, and coffee.
Its substantial size will ensure that the sweet-smelling scent can be enjoyed for even longer. It will take pride in place in any dressing room. Other fragrances from this brand belonging to the “Mon Premier Cristal” collection, are such as Lumiere, Mountain Wonders, and The Final Touch.
We believe a powerful perfume ought to have a unique personality that helps others associate it with you. So we strongly encourage you to take pick on one of our best perfume brands for women. You can choose to either be a fond lover with MeltMyHeart, wear an Italian air with Tiziana Terenzi, an elegant and romantic fragrance with Frédéric Malle, a mysterious and bold scent with Penhaligons, or an exclusive and unique touch with Lalique.
