Sweet Like Candy is a yummy treat without the calories.

 Rouge 540 by master perfumer Francis Kurkdjian is the ultimate compliment getter and smells equally fantastic on women and men.  This opulent and slightly spiced perfume yet has the same slightly mesmerizing effect on the skin that fine crystal has on the eyes. The opening is delicious with a shot of blood orange and jasmine that quickly settles into amber and slightly spiced golden saffron in the heart notes leaving a glowing aura on the skin. The sillage and longevity are above average and you will be noticed wafting Rouge 540 Baccarat in the best possible way.

Nicknamed the “it girl” of perfume, Yves St. Laurent Libre, is the sexy, modern compliment getting fragrance TikTok reviewers are always raving about. Singer Dua Lipa, the face of the scent, wears an elegant, low-cut, sexy black tuxedo evoking a sense of bold sensuality. The bright citrus opening is contrasted with aromatic lavender for a fresh, feminine effect. The unexpected contrast comes here in the form of lavender, which brings a transparent, herbal facet accompanied by just a hint of toasted sugar, blending seamlessly with the sweet white petals of Libre’s floral heart

Prada Candy is among the world’s bestselling gourmand perfumes of all time and a real crowd pleaser. With its golden caramel halo and rumored 12% overdose of addictive benzoin (3-4% is usual) Prada Candy is noticeably sensual, and its golden aura is wrapped around a core of vanilla, musk, honey and caramel.

Considered one of the most popular women’s perfumes of the past 10 years, Portrait of A Lady by Frederic Malle envelops your senses as if you are draped in vermillion velvet.

Raspberry and red fruits meld with the layers of chocolatey patchouli and creamy sandalwood at the dry down. Portrait of a Lady is a fragrance fantasy that is best worn in the evening or to a party.

Alien by Thierry Mugler is a mesmerizing and mysterious perfume with only three listed notes, jasmine, amber and cashmere woods. Alien radiates freshness in a very unique and enticing way.

Best for evening wear or any time you want to stand out in a crowd.
