Like Riddle's Original, Glossier's first perfume doesn't have any middle notes. It's a mix of three base notes -- ambrette, ambrox and musk -- with a spicy sprinkle of top notes (iris root and pink pepper, specifically). The result is sexy but not overpowering, fresh but also familiar.
This exotic blend of jasmine, sandalwood and cardamom is a little beachy and spicy; because it's an oil, it easily sinks into skin, melding with your own fragrance. Anyone who gets a whiff of you will think you're just one of those supernatural creatures who always smell good.
Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb Twist Layering Oils, $69 each
Viktor & Rolf's new layering perfume oils -- which include Jasmine, Musk and Rose -- were designed to be paired with the house's Flowerbomb perfume. TBH, we love wearing these one-note oils by themselves or cocktailed together. (Jasmine and musk are a classic, low-key pair.)
This nostalgic perfume oil will give you beachy, surfer-girl vibes with orange blossom, lavender, Italian bergamot and musk. Wear it if you miss summer.
The typical pop-star perfume is an olfactory slap in the face: lots of white florals, lots of vanilla, the end. Not this one. Katy Perry's surprisingly grown-up eau de parfum features 11 types of musk, bergamot, white tea and white cedarwood. Although its sillage is stronger than others on the list, this scent is a lot subtler than you might think -- and smells expensive AF.
