VERDICT: The Most Scent-sational Sephora Buys Right Now!

As Christian Dior once said, “a woman’s perfume tells more about her than her handwriting.” Every woman wants to smell scent-sational, but finding your signature fragrance can sometimes take hours of sifting through testers. We rounded up the ladies in the office and took them down to Sephora to select their top perfume picks for the season. Here’s our verdict on our favourite female fragrances right now…

1. Rock on with ‘Nirvana Black’

Daring, bold and mischievous, our sassy Social Media guru loved ‘Nirvana Black‘ by Elizabeth and James. It’s the perfect balance between masculine musk and feminine freshness making it perfect for the modern-day woman.

The Fragrance: Sandalwood notes mixed with sweet vanilla

You’ll spray and pay:

  • AED 360 for the 50ml
  • AED 465 for the 100ml

2. Turn heads with ‘Narciso Rouge’

One fragrance our adventurous Editor-in-Chief couldn’t stop spritzing was ‘Narciso Rouge‘ by Narciso Rodriguez. Designed for the fierce and daring woman, this is one perfume that’s guaranteed to turn heads.
