Women's Perfumes

Perfumes for Women

Perfumes for women come in many scent profiles and varieties, and are often produced by prestigious fashion brands. Most perfumes also come in many different volume sizes and applications, from roll-on oils and perfumed lotions to roll-on applicators. Perfumes can also easily be found in women's fragrance gift sets, skin care gift sets or packaged with other accessories from popular brands.

The vast majority of women's perfumes include floral notes as the base of the perfume. These may include narcissus, gardenia, lily, lavender, rose or even carnation. Some even use oriental flowers, like orange flowers or jasmine, which are generally more subtle. Citrus is a common perfume note, rarely making up the base but often added for complexity, and can include bergamot, lemon, tangerine and much more. Other complexity notes include musk, apricot, sandalwood or amber. These scents are also popular in women's eau de parfum and women's colognes.

Perfume can come in many different formats for different application styles and usage. These include oils, which are rubbed into the skin; loose fluid, which can be added to other beauty products, like shampoos and conditioners; solid bars used like soaps or rubbed briefly along the skin; and simple pump-action sprays.

Perfumes for women come in many different volume categories, from small samplers to large replacement fillers. The common volumes for perfume include 40 ml bottles, 75 ml bottles, 90 ml bottles, 100 ml bottles and 200 ml bottles. Sample-size volumes include 1 ml applicators, 1.5 ml applicators, 3 ml applicators and 4 ml applicators. One can often find multiple samples grouped together.

Many fashion brands also produce perfumes, but one can also easily find celebrity brand lines, makeup and personal care brands and perfume-specific brands. The most popular brands include Estée Lauder, Lancôme, Juicy Couture, Marc Jacobs, Avon, Britney Spears and Victoria's Secret. Other notable brands include Jovan, Justin Bieber, Aquolina, Adidas, Lacoste, Calvin Klein, Clinique, Montblanc, HUGO BOSS, Versace and CHANEL perfumes.
