Scents are powerful. They have the ability to take us back to a moment, frozen in time, now defined entirely by their smell. Their scintillating, engrossing notes transform an entire look of the day and elevate it to something higher. Selecting fragrances is an intimate task – and one that can become particularly overwhelming when choosing a new scent to wear – as they become part of who we are and how we are known to others. With some of the most iconic fragrances for women having been in circulation for decades, garnering trans-generational fan bases, they are the final notch in the accessories post for cultivating your ultimate self; they frame your beauty, your moment, the energy you are channelling when you spritz yourself with their perfume.
The fragrance world is vast, with scents coming with a variety of notes and undertones to be enjoyed by their wearer. They have defined beauty industry heavyweights and possess the power to transfix a person to their perfume, wondering where they may have caught the scent before or on whom they last smelled it. Whether overtly floral scents, those evocative of an airy sea breeze or the more muted, subtle notes are your preference, we are certain there is something on our list of the 25 most iconic fragrances for women to suit you.
