The top fragrances for women to gift in 2021

Valentines Day is slowly approaching and you're wondering what you can gift your significant other, friend or even yourself. I am a big lover of perfume as it makes me feel confident, fresh and ready to start my day. But perfume is more than just a scent, it can tigger memories in any moment, leaving you reminiscing about happy times and evoking thoughts about your loved ones. That's why it's the perfect gift for somebody you love.

One of my all time favourite perfumes is Dolce and Gabbana's Light Blue (af). My mum always used to buy this whenever we went on our family summer holiday, so I always think of her when I smell it. I often find that toilettes aren't as long lasting as a parfum but this is surprisingly the opposite. It has a lovely strong, fresh scent that can last throughout the day. It is very noticeable so if you're looking for something more subtle then this might not be the one for you. This is on the pricer side with the smallest bottle (25ml) setting you back £45.00.

Cedar wood, Amber, Musk

If you're looking for something a little sweeter then you may want to check out Viktor & Rolf's Flowerbomb (af). This has become increasingly popular over the past few years, being rated one of the top perfumes on the market. I have found this to be very long-lasting and doesn't need to be reapplied throughout the day. The bottle is also gorgeous and looks lovely on your vanity. Again this is a little on the pricey side priced at £56.00 for 30ML.

Another favourite of mine is Ariana Grande's 'Ari' (af) parfum, perfect for anybody who loves a sweet scent. I know what you're thinking, that this probably initially appealed to teenagers. But this scent is so lovely that as a 24 year old woman I can't get enough of it! So much so that I am planning on checking out other perfumes that Miss Grande has to offer. It's very reasonably priced ranging from £23.00 as the smallest bottle (30ml) with the largest (100ml) at just £33.00 on the Superdrug website! This is definitely a compliment magnet as I get asked about it on a daily basis. Similar to the Viktor & Rolf bottle, this also looks very glamorous in your bedroom! I do occasionally have a top up towards the end of the day. But in all honesty, the pros heavily outweigh, this very small con. Don't pass up on this bargain!

My all time favourite perfume has to be Chanel Coco Mademoiselle (af) as it oozes elegance, luxury and femininity. I always feel so glamorous and sophisticated when wearing this perfume as it is of very high quality, what you would expected from a high end brand like Chanel. Of course it also lasts all day and night! This would definitely be my ultimate perfume to be gifted this valentines day and every valentines day after that! You can buy this in a range of sizes, with the 35ml costing £57.00. When comparing this to other perfumes of a similar size and price, this stunning scent it is worth every penny.
