1 BEST SWEET & SEXY SCENT

Prada Candy EDP, RM382 (50ml)

Inspired by Prada’s new femininity, where more is more and excess is everything, the Candy EDP is seductive and cheerful, housed in a shocking pink bottle of amber liquid. Made up of delicious sweet caramel, white musk, and benzoin, this fragrance simply melds with the skin effortless­ly. If you have a penchant for delectably sweet scents, look no further for this ultimate sugar rush.

2 MOST BEAUTIFUL FLORAL FRAGRANCE

Gucci Bloom EDP, RM510 (100ml)

“An honourable comeback that needs to be applauded. After years of commercial fragrances, Gucci returns with a fragrance worthy of its name. Under the direction of Alessandro Michele, florals like tuberose, jasmine bud extract, and rangoon creeper, which is also used for the first time in perfumery, transport one to an imaginary garden. Slightly powdery with a fresh petal scent, this multifacet­ed fragrance will bloom on you to reveal its feminine beauty.” – Arnaud Marolleau

3 BEST ETERNAL PERFUME

Dior Miss Dior EDP, RM625 (100ml)

“Parfums Christian Dior’s perfumercr­eator François Demachy’s 2017 rendition of Miss Dior is an ode to love. Signature notes such as the honeyed Grasse rose and sensual Turkish Damascus rose are laced with citrusy notes, kindling a scent that is both attractive and seductive. It’s a classic that always evolves with the times, made for the young modern woman.” – Natasha Kraal

4 MOST EXOTIC SCENT

Chloé Nomade EDP, RM489 (75ml)

“Chloé always amazes me with the architectu­ral beauty of its fragrances, and this one is no exception. As beautiful as the others and yet so different, this Nomade EDP perfectly captures the inner strength and wanderlust in any woman as its powerful chypre and luminescen­t freesia also inspires the feeling of escape. Definitely perfect for any woman who is in search of discovery and lives to embrace otherness.” – Arnaud Marolleau

5 BEST COUTURE FRAGRANCE

YSL Beauté Mon Paris Couture EDP, RM480 (90ml) The third member of the Mon Paris legacy, YSL Beauté Mon Paris Couture represents a state of mind that finds the exceptiona­l in the ordinary. Infused with the heady Datura flower, sweet raspberry, and warmth of the ambrox, the result is an eau de parfum of bespoke chypre floral citrus that has a touch of sweetness. A polka-dot lavaliere tie around the neck of the bottle also adds to its free spirit.

6 BEST FEMININE DAY SCENT

Valentino Donna EDP, RM388 (50ml)

A rule breaker that does it with a touch of insoucianc­e, this fragrance is designed for a woman who is not afraid of being herself.
