Marc Jacobs Dot
Make a statement not only with the super-stylish bottle, but also with this effervescent scent that blends red berries, dragonfruit and sweet honeysuckle. It's the perfect way to channel the designer’s upbeat spirit, and you might even find yourself with a new swagger to your step.

L’Artisan Séville à l’Aube
This limited-edition scent is a collaboration between perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour and writer Denyse Beaulieu. When Beaulieu told Duchaufour an olfactory story of a romantic night in Seville, he turned it into a perfume (which inspired her to turn it into a book called The Perfume Lover). Let’s just say that one spritz of this citrusy scent might get you equally as carried away.

Love Diane
Inspired by the famously feminine styles from the iconic fashion designer, Diane von Furstenberg's latest launch captures the four distinct pillars of the brand’s aesthetic: femininity, love, generosity and seduction. With sweet notes of apricot nectar, liquorice and praline, you might feel inclined to pair it with your favorite wrap dress.
To buy: Diane von Furstenberg, $65
Dolce & Gabbana Femme
The latest launch from the iconic Italian brand, known for its seductive body-contouring designs is—not surprisingly—a sexy scent made up of neroli, tart green mandarin and orange blossom. We think it might even be easier to slip into than one of the company's form-fitting lace dresses.
To buy: Macy's, $77
Ineke Hothouse Floral
A tribute to the lush, creamy scent of gardenia, a flower that’s known for making dramatic statements in everything from Billie Holiday’s hair to French gentlemen’s boutonnières, this scent also comprises notes of galbanum, fig, cypress, absinthe and frankincense. You’ll wear it in style.
To buy: Ineke, $95
Lancôme La Vie Est Belle
In English, this scent is called “Life Is Beautiful." A modern interpretation of a classic fragrance, this perfume is made with iris, patchouli and praline. Like life, it’s deep and complex.

Tom Ford Jardin Noir
If you’re familiar with the designer’s uber-luxurious ready-to-wear collections, then you won’t be thrown by the price of his latest perfume. The scent, packed with rose, lily, narcissus and hyacinth (and meant to evoke the darker, less innocent aspect of flowers) should be treated like any other splurge from his collection: Buy it knowing it will become an instant collectable.
To buy: Bergdorf Goodman, $205
Balenciaga Florabotanica
The latest launch from this iconic fashion house is a rose scent packed with notes of carnation, mint and Turkish rose. While it’s meant to evoke a mysterious garden filled with both fragrant and poisonous flowers, the chic and graphic bottle alone might be enough of a reason to splurge.
To buy: Balenciaga, $95
Leilani Bishop Lilac

To buy: Leilani Bishop, $62
