women

Women's perfumery is the realm of variety: romantic florals and opulent white flowers, luminous citrus, enveloping ambers, indulgent gourmands and elegant chypres. In this section you'll find thousands of women's fragrances from all the great houses and distinctive brands, in every concentration and price range.

How to choose a women's perfume

Start with what you already love: your favourite fragrances almost always belong to the same olfactory family, and it's the most reliable compass for new purchases. Then define the occasion: an everyday signature calls for discretion and comfort (light florals, musks, dressed-up citrus), while evening allows for intensity (ambers, white flowers, gourmands). Finally, the concentration: eau de toilette for a lightness to refresh during the day, eau de parfum for all-day longevity.

If it's a gift: stay within the olfactory family the recipient already wears — it's the strategy with the highest success rate in perfumery.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between a floral and a fruity floral?

The first is built on flowers; the second brightens them with fruity notes (pear, peach, red berries) for a more modern, playful result. It's the most gifted family in the world.

How should a perfume be stored?

Away from light, heat and temperature swings: a well-stored bottle keeps its identity for years; on the edge of the bathtub, much less.

How many sprays are right?

Two to three for an eau de parfum, three to four for an eau de toilette, on the pulse points: perfume should accompany you, not arrive three metres ahead of you.
