For a Casual-But-Not-Too-Casual First Date
The pick: Moschino Fresh Couture Eau de Toilette, $82

The vibe: You've never gone on an official "date" date with this person before, so you want to keep things cool, a little distant even. A whisper of the old "hard to get" strategy, if you will. That said, you still want to charm the pants (or at least the blazer) off them. But not like you're trying to or anything.

That's where this playful perfume comes in. Ironically packaged like an everyday bottle of household cleaner, the perfume, just like you, doesn't take itself too seriously. But spritz it onto your wrists, and you're suddenly met with a fun, fresh allure. Notes of bergamot, raspberry and white patchouli communicate that while this little tryst may not end in nuptials, you are open to the possibility of making out.

For a Steamy Night In
The pick: Diana Vreeland Perfectly Marvelous, $250

The vibe: Dinner, movies, weekend getaways -- you've done it all with this paramour of yours. This time, you're curious to see what happens when you keep it behind closed doors. The evening's agenda includes cooking your signature dish, breaking out your record player and playing footsie (and then some) under a chenille throw.

Your cozy night is underscored by this fiery, jasmine-based fragrance, inspired by elegant fashion legend Diana Vreeland. The icon once said, "If it isn't a passion, it isn't burning, it isn't on fire, you haven't lived!" Featuring heady, erotic components like red sandalwood, musky cashmeran and "voluptuous" jasmine sambac, this fragrance was designed to stimulate just that kind of heat.

For a Girls-Only Night Out
The pick: Maison Martin Margiela MMM Replica Lipstick On Eau de Toilette, $125

The vibe: Romance, shmomance. Platonic girl-dates can be just as sexy with the help of this unexpected, vintage-inspired perfume.

Offering a gorgeous, one-of-a-kind combo of powdery iris, vanilla bourbon and tonka bean, the scent paints the picture of a glamorous woman in her boudoir, putting the finishing touches on her makeup. It smells like martinis and silk robes with a hint of that distinctive, waxy smell of red lipstick. It's a scent only your best girlfriends could truly appreciate.

For Flirting Your Face Off
The pick: Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh Blush, $92

The vibe: Get ready to bite your lip and bat your lashes. Maybe you intend to take this suitor home at the end of the night -- maybe you don't -- but you certainly intend to torture them with your coquettish teases in the meantime.

All pink grapefruit, freesia and rose, there is nothing dark or masculine about this perfume. (And we mean nothing -- just take a look at the flowery pink bottle.) The fragrance wears its sparkling girlishness on its sleeve, and invites you to do the same.

For a Night of 'Netflix and Chill'
The pick: Chloé Love Story Eau de Parfum, $105

The vibe: Let's not kid ourselves -- you have one objective tonight, and that is to seal the deal, if you catch our drift. You show up under the guise that you'll be popping some kettle corn and watching a few episodes of "Master of None." But your true intentions are notably more amorous.

What's the difference between the night ending up a flop or a wild success? This seductive floral perfume. Inspired by "the flush of new love," its sensual, feminine notes of orange blossom, jasmine and cedarwood don't pussyfoot around your intentions. After all, you shaved your legs for this.
