I’m not kidding! Perfumes that men voted as attractive for women on dates!!
As someone who loves fragrances, I often get asked by my male colleagues in the office about which perfumes to gift their girlfriends and wives. So, I took this opportunity to invite them to personally test and rate fragrances. I asked everyone from people born in the 80s to the 2000s, and when I saw the results, I had an epiphany. Those sweet, gentle, clean, and refreshing scents really won them over! And if you add a touch of fragrance that reflects one’s personality, it becomes even more captivating.
Today, I want to recommend 12 perfumes that have received compliments from straight men. They fall into 6 different styles, with 2 perfumes in each style for your reference.
Style 1: Youthful Milky Sweetness
1 Monotheme – Tuberose
This perfume is very youthful, capturing the true essence of tuberose flowers. It has a creamy coconut-like milkiness that exudes a warm and sweet aroma. It represents the purity and playfulness of a young girl, while also possessing a seductive and charming allure.
2 Montblanc – Signature
A sweet and tangy lactic fragrance! It has a delightful and gentle milky scent that is not overwhelming or overly assertive. It gives off an understated yet highly sophisticated impression, like that of an elegant and wealthy young woman.
Style 2: Elegant Floral Fruity
1 Rance – Princess Hélène
It opens with a fresh and sweet fruity scent, embodying the playfulness of youth. Soon, the rich and blooming notes of rose and orange blossom take over, complemented by warm amber and sandalwood. These soft fragrances emanate like a delicate and luxurious body scent of a noble princess.
2 Chanel – Gabrielle Essence
A pure floral fragrance with a touch of sweet and tangy fruits. It blends the essence of tuberose flowers with a hint of fruity aroma, wrapped in sandalwood and vanilla. It is sweet without being overly flattering, bold without being sharp, and mature and elegant while retaining a gentle touch of youthfulness.
Style 3: Clean and Pseudo-Body Fragrance
1 Juliette Has a Gun – Not a Perfume
A thousand people, a thousand scents. It is said to have a magical reaction on different skin types and body temperatures. On me, it exudes a subtle soapy fragrance with a hint of cool woody notes. It’s like the pleasant scent left on your body after a refreshing shower—subtle body fragrance that truly captivates.
2 Maison Margiela – Lazy Sunday Morning
This fragrance evokes a vivid image. It feels like hiding in a sun-drenched bed, with a clean soapy scent and a hint of sweet lychee. The addition of woody elements elevates the warmth, as if being embraced tightly by a loved one, feeling lazy and content.
Style 4: Warm Woody Fragrance
1 Maison Margiela – By the Fireplace
The ultimate comforting fragrance for winter. It’s sweet and warm, just like eating caramelized chestnuts by a cozy fire. The dry and smoky woody notes, along with the indulgent scent of roasted caramel and milk, create a sense of warmth and happiness. It’s like a snug and cozy feeling you can’t resist.
2 Penhaligon’s – Lord George
A cool and warm fragrance for autumn and winter, reminiscent of a chic and warm scarf. The combination of spicy gin and burning tobacco creates a sense of mystery. The introduction of amber and vanilla makes the scent smooth and silky, like a warm beam of light that touches the soul, leaving you captivated.
Style 5: Elegant Woody Floral
1 Bottega Veneta Lusione
It starts with a crisp lemon scent, complemented by a combination of orange blossom and green leaves, which adds a fresh and clean touch. The addition of woody notes brings warmth to the fragrance, suitable for confident and independent girls who exude a captivating charm.
2 Burberry – Hawthorn Bloom
It feels like being in a vibrant countryside, with the scent of delicate white flowers and fresh grass carried by a gentle breeze. The powdery iris, along with the clean soapy scent, gives a gentle and refreshing feel. It suits girls who have a serene appearance but possess a tender heart.
Style 6: Cool Tea Fragrance
1 Armani – The Yulong
A light and refreshing scent of citrusy green tea, infused with the smoky notes of black tea. The dry-down leans toward a warm and clean soapy scent. The fragrance structure is simple yet clear and lively, leaving a pleasant and lingering trail compared to other tea scents.
2 Memo -Inle
A whimsical and gentle fairy-like fragrance. The sweet and realistic scent of osmanthus, combined with the slightly bitter and refreshing aroma of Japanese green tea, is not overly sweet but rather long-lasting and delicate. The white musk at the end makes the fragrance clean and refined, like embracing a soft cloud.
