There’s just something about a floral perfume that makes you feel timeless and elevated. And while we know that “florals for spring” isn’t exactly groundbreaking, don’t take these scents for granted; they’re far from basic. Floral fragrances are romantic and feminine, and some of the best-selling fragrances of all time have been in this category. Floral notes also create a beautiful bouquet (see what we did there?)when juxtaposed with notes from the other fragrance families—citrus, aquatic, woody, warm, green, spicy, fresh, and fruity—making them some of the most universally loved and giftable fragrances on the market. 

Not sure where to start? Let’s dive into the most covetable, best-selling floral fragrances that, once you apply them, will help you get the ultimate compliment: “You smell sooo good!”

1. Best Clean Floral Perfume:

HEMETICA Peonypop

HEMETICA Peonypop MobileHEMETICA Peonypop Desktop

We love the long-lasting impact of this peony-powered sweet and radiant perfume. You’re immediately greeted by the top notes of raspberry and grapefruit before they blend with peony and rose essence, while the musk and cedarwood notes linger on the skin.

2. Best Citrus Floral Perfume:

AERIN Mediterranean Honeysuckle

Whether you want to wear this sweet and sparkling scent abroad or just douse yourself while you’re dreaming of your next vacation, this fragrance is a romantic transportation to the Mediterranean Sea. Enjoy citrus notes as they dance in a garden of lily and jasmine.  

3. Best Floral Perfume Oil:

MAISON LOUIS MARIE Perfume Oil No.13 Nouvelle Vague

If you want a unique yet understated perfume, look no further than this refreshing and rich fragrance. The citrus and wild flowers remind you of a tree-lined street on the Almafi coast, while the coconut and fig are sweet and warm. 

4. Best Aquatic Floral Perfume:

J’ADORE Parfum D’eau

Water and white flowers are the perfect marriage in this fan-favorite fragrance. Close your eyes, and you’ll believe you’re smelling a fresh and sunny bouquet of jasmine and Chinese magnolia. We love that it truly lingers on the skin all day long while the fruity burst of neroli gives the scent a subtle sweetness.

5. Best Magnolia Floral Perfume:

JULIETTE HAS A GUN Magnolia Bliss

JULIETTE HAS A GUN Magnolia Bliss MobileJULIETTE HAS A GUN Magnolia Bliss Desktop

Romantic magnolia, juicy plum, and fresh bergamot come together in this exotic fragrance. Inspired by the 1970s freedom movement, this perfume is undoubtedly “peace in a bottle.” After we sampled this juice in our IPSY Glam Bag, we couldn’t help but come back for the full size.

6. Best Classic Floral Perfume:

ESTÉE LAUDER Beautiful

ESTÉE LAUDER Beautiful MobileESTÉE LAUDER Beautiful Desktop

This was probably your mother’s favorite perfume. A popular bridal fragrance in the 1980s and ’90s, it features a rich blend of rose, lily, orange flower and amber, and while the scent is definitely giving vintage, it still translates well to today.

7. Best Low-Key Floral Perfume:

GLOSSIER You

GLOSSIER You MobileGLOSSIER You Desktop

If you love to smell amazing but still want to smell like you (rather than an obvious perfume), try this best seller. This sparkling floral is formulated to be a personal skin-scent enhancer. It’s primarily made of base notes, so it smells different on everyone! But don’t worry, there are plenty of white florals to give you the flower power we love.

8. Best Trending Floral Perfume:

LE LABO Santal 33 Eau De Parfum

LE LABO Santal 33 Eau De Parfum MobileLE LABO Santal 33 Eau De Parfum Desktop

his warm and woody floral unisex fragrance has quickly become a cult favorite on fragrance TikTok, garnering hundreds of reviews and people searching high and low for a less expensive dupe. You either love it or would rather not, but we think the leathery and musk notes are addictive.

9. Best Dupe Floral Perfume:

AHUJA Sacred Santal

AHUJA Sacred Santal  MobileAHUJA Sacred Santal  Desktop

You know that dupe we were looking for? We found it! This deep, rich fragrance walks the line of rugged and delicate effortlessly. If you love the wild notes of leather and the floral scent of iris and violet leaves, this one’s for you.

10. Best Fruity Floral Perfume:

MARC JACOBS Daisy Eau De Toilette

MARC JACOBS Daisy Eau De Toilette  MobileMARC JACOBS Daisy Eau De Toilette  Desktop

It’s been a rite of passage for years to have this cult-classic fragrance adorn your vanity. The sweet wild berries, fresh jasmine, and earthy sandalwood make this fragrance hard not to like. Full disclosure, I’m wearing the Eau So Intense version of the fragrance as I write this, which is just as dreamy, but a bit deeper and fruitier. 

11. Best Lightweight Floral Perfume:

FRESH Rose Morning Eau De Parfum

FRESH Rose Morning Eau De Parfum MobileFRESH Rose Morning Eau De Parfum Desktop

Bring on the romance. This lightweight, warm floral fragrance feels like waking up in a spring garden. It features Bulgarian rose, peach blossom, and musk for a balanced aroma that is not too sweet or too velvety, and is just fresh enough.

12. Best Date-Night Floral Perfume:

KILIAN Good Girl Gone Bad

KILIAN Good Girl Gone Bad MobileKILIAN Good Girl Gone Bad Desktop

There is something edgy yet sweet about this fruity floral perfume. Orange blossom, osmanthus, and tuberose are powerhouse notes that make us obsessed with this fragrance. We love this floral for a date night or an evening out. 

13. Best Gardenia Floral Perfume:

GUCCI Flora Gorgeous Gardenia  Eau De Parfum

This fragrance is an instant mood boost. It’s centered around the classic white gardenia flower, which has been used in potions and elixirs since the beginning of time. You’ll also experience solar jasmine, pear, patchouli, and brown sugar for a delicate, sweet aroma.

14. Best Affordable Floral Perfume:

Charming, voluptuous, and sophisticated, this fragrance has perfume aficionados raving over its balance of sweetness, floral, and suede. Red apple adds a nice crispness to the top notes, while peony with honey and rose make this a flower lover’s dream.
