WHAT IT DOES: Think beach getaway, but make it moody and romantic. With ambrette seeds, sea salt, and sage, this celeb-favorite scent smells more woody and earthy than summery and sunshine-y.

WHY YOU NEED IT: Spritz on in the morning and you'll be good to go for the rest of the day. This long-lasting scent is diffused by your body heat, so it works as time goes on.

ABOUT THE SCENT: With notes of violet, accord, cardamom, iris, and ambrox, Le Labo's Santal 33 is a true icon. Woody and smoky but somehow still gentle, it's the kind of perfume that always stands out in a crowd. It's also unisex, so it's made for everyone.

ABOUT THE BRAND: Le Labo debuted in just 2006 and gained immediate renown for its subtle, striking scents, apothecary packaging, and distinctive naming convention. Each name consists of a word and a number: the most prominent note and the number of notes in the composition.

ABOUT THE SCENT: Baccarat Rouge was practically the internet's favorite perfume in 2021, and for good reason. Described as smelling like "money" and "being rich" its woody and amber notes are downright intoxicating. It's also one of Rihanna's personal favorites, so you know it's good.

ABOUT THE SCENT: While there are many versions of YSL's Black Opium, the OG scent is the true winner. Made with unexpected notes of coffee plus delicate vanilla and white flowers, it's powerful, sexy, and sweet all at the same time.

USER REVIEW: "This smells... amazing. It’s the perfect combo of sexy and sweet. It’s really hard to describe. Kind of like the intoxicating effect of a really good men's cologne, but then there’s warm and sweet vanilla which balances it out perfectly. It’s my favorite scent I’ve ever smelled."
