Perfume That Smells Like Flowers
With summer well and truly here to stay, many of us are reaching for floral scents. Something delicate to wear and perfume that smells like flowers suits the heat.
Of course, it’s not just women who wear floral scents. Many male fragrances have a touch of feminine flowers in them. These scents will fall more in the Chypre family, so there will be a hint of more oriental and woody aromas.
With so many unisex fragrances available on the market today, many of these will have a balance of masculine and feminine scents in their bottle. There are lots of flowers on which perfumes are based, too.

Be careful how much you spray
Floral-based perfumes can often smell too sweet and sickly if too much is sprayed on, so less is more for the summer months. The heat from our bodies and the atmosphere can increase the vibrancy of a perfume, so it is best to find a delicate scent or spray a smaller amount.
If you are new to the fragrance world, it can be hard to find a scent suitable for your skin. Samples are a great way to try a new scent, and it is well worth trying on a few different ones from all the various fragrance families. Once you know your family type and what suits you best, you can narrow down the other ingredients you want in your fragrance. When we think of floral perfumes, we don’t just think of flowers.
The floral family has many elements so that we will find scents from fruit, citrus, woody, aldehyde, and water-green notes. Flower perfumes seem to dominate the fragrance world as they are so popular and in the majority of our bottles. They are also suitable for both male and female scents.

Flower Bomb- Victor & Rolf
Flower Bomb was launched in 2005 and is an explosion of summer scents. This fragrance was undoubtedly created with pure femininity in mind. Very sweet and unforgettable in its ability to linger and turn heads, Flower Bomb is still one of the best-selling perfumes of today. A mixture of flower scents includes patchouli, rose, jasmine, and freesia.
With base notes of vanilla, musk, and patchouli, it’s little surprise that this perfume has a very sweet aroma. This perfume will suit any age and is particularly suitable for the spring and summer months when floral dresses are dominating the shops and garden flowers are in full bloom.
Alien-Thierry Mugler
Another scent that became hugely popular in 2005 was Alien. Thierry Mugler has created an acquired scent with this very feminine perfume. Like its deep purple bottle design, Alien gives an instant summer scent with its simplistic floral notes. There’s a strong scent of sambac jasmine as soon as the first spray hits your skin, and with a heart note of cashmere wood and a base note of white amber, every woman will feel sensual wearing this scent.
With its woody scent, it perfectly balances the floral notes. After the first spray has worn to its middle notes, there is even a hint of musk.
Good Girl Gone Bad
The bottle alone shows class, elegance and sophistication as we experience the floral summer scents of this 2012 perfume.
The history behind this creation is one about Eve, God’s creation. She started off being pure and innocent before trying the forbidden fruit, and this scent belongs to the Killian collection of fragrances based around women of today who are unafraid to be sultry and bold.
A wonderful combination of fragrance notes, including jasmine, rose, amber, cedar, orange blossom, and osmanthus, gives this perfume a very feminine feel.

Daisy-Marc Jacobs
The name alone speaks volumes regarding perfume that smells like flowers. Its distinctive flowery bottle cap and soft edges give a real sense of pretty Daisies, lavender fields’ and summer.
Created in 2007, Daisy is a classic in the perfume world and has stayed at the forefront of many of its competitions for the past 15 years. It has a proper aroma of freshness, making it the perfect scent for youngsters as well as the more mature.
It bursts with fruity scents and is a fresh fragrance that sits perfectly on the skin during summer. Daisy has a very distinctive fragrance, which is why so many women love it.
What’s not to love about wild berries, musk, jasmine, and vanilla? Some vanilla notes can be overpowering in certain perfumes, but Daisy has just the right blend of musk and white wood base notes to still allow you to enjoy its pretty delicate scent.

Perfect- Marc Jacobs
Another “perfect” scent by Marc Jacobs was a relatively new release to the perfume world when it launched in 2020. In a very similar style to Daisy, Perfect also showcases a wonderful and creative design in its bottle cap.
This time, it was adorned with charms in the shape of dice, a star, a shoe, a peeled banana, MJ initials on gold cubes, and a hair bow on its cap. All were created by the man himself to give the scent a very feminine, playful, and elegant feel.
This perfume brings out the summer in everyone as soon as the bottle is sprayed. A combination of fruit, almond, wood, sweet, nutty, and musk notes gives this classic bottle its popularity.
Unisex scents
Rose Prick- Tom Ford
Tom Ford’s fragrances have become very successful and widespread over the past few years, and it’s easy to see why. Rose Prick is a unisex scent that almost looks like it belongs in the ladies’ section of any perfume store. This unisex fragrance is inspired by Tom Ford’s garden of rose scents. To match up to its name, Rose Prick contains fragrance notes to give its name justice.
Rose, pepper, spice and patchouli give this scent a wild and open field vibe. Even though its aroma sits in the Chypre family, there is still a scent of flowers and summer scents that fits and is balanced perfectly for both men and women.
Fleur De Portofino-Tom Ford unisex
Another of Tom Ford’s creations, perhaps with a slightly more masculine bottle, is Fleur De Portofino. The name itself instantly transports us to faraway places and tropical flowers. Its floral and fruity scent works well on both men and women. Launched in 2015, it has notes of citrus, honey, bergamot, jasmine, and violet leaf that almost veer towards a feminine approach.
They cleverly transport us to a tropical paradise, where we envisage clear seas, coastal sands, and wildflowers cascading around the high rocks of the coast.
Male scents
Fahrenheit- Dior
There won’t be many who haven’t heard of this fragrance. Launched in 1988, Fahrenheit cologne is a timeless classic. Although it is another scent in the Cypre family, it also contains floral notes of bergamot, mandarin, patchouli, vetiver, carnation, and violet leaves.
The packaging and bottle transport us to faraway places with their unique ‘sunset’ colours. It is suitable to wear all year round. The initial smell comes across as woody and leather, but after a few minutes on the skin, a delicate smell of fruit and violets comes through, giving this fragrance a delicate yet masculine feel.

Light Blue
Launched in 2001, Light Blue has a gorgeous, fresh summer smell when it is first sprayed. Almost instantly, the citrus and fruity notes hit your nose. It holds a masculine yet playful vibe, which is what makes it such a popular choice for men.
It is a beautiful collaboration of grapefruit, bergamot, juniper, pepper, rosemary, musk, oakmoss, and Sicilian mandarin, to name a few of its notes. Light Blue reminds us of open spaces, holidays abroad and linen shirts.
