Fragrances hold the power to make you feel your best—like the world is your oyster. A spritz of perfume can add a dash of confidence and class to your everyday life—with the symphony of notes making you feel energized, relaxed, and sexy.
“Perfume is like a parenthesis, a moment of freedom, peace, love, and sensuality in between the disturbances of modern living.”
—Sonia Rykiel
However, not all perfumes are created equal. And considering the scent you wear tends to be synonymous with who you are and how you’re perceived in the world, you need to be prudent.
If you’re looking for a signature fragrance, here are the best 2022 releases the Fragrance Rich team is obsessing over.
Gucci Flora Gorgeous Jasmine
Gucci Flora Gorgeous Jasmine is a work of art – there is no better way to describe the perfume! It’s a strong candidate if you want a fragrance that looks stunning on display and turns heads when you wear it.
The perfume comes in a showstopping turquoise bottle that shouts fashion house luxury with its gold cap and floral label. Gucci Flora Gorgeous jasmine opens with matching floral notes that carry a brightening scent. It has a foundation of sandalwood and Benzoin and notes of Mandarine Essence, Grandiflorum Jasmine, and Magnolia Accord.
Mugler Alien Goddess Intense
A list of the best fragrance releases in 2022 would not be complete without the otherworldly Alien Goddess Intense. The fragrance represents everything we love about its predecessor (Alien Goddess) but takes things up a notch. You’ll recognize the much-adored coconut notes of the original—but you’ll also figure out that the Intense has a personality of its own.
The notes of Jasmine Grandiflorum Superinfusion, Vanilla Bourbon Infusion, and Calabrian Bergamot simply smell delicious.
Carolina Herrera Bad Boy Cobalt
In 2022 we saw and had a pleasant whiff of Cobalt – a new member of the electrifying Bad Boy club. The perfume by Carolina Herrera is everything you’d expect from a Bad Boy—but with a uniquely welcome twist.
With notes of pink pepper and geranium, Carolina Herrera Bad Boy Cobalt opens strong with a fresh spicy punch—complemented by the sweetness of lavender and plum notes. You’ll also love that the fragrance is impressively versatile. It wears great in the cold winter as it does under the scorching summer sun.
Paco Rabanne 1 Million Elixir
Paco Rabanne 1 Million Elixir Parfum is designed to represent elegance, power, and opulence—as hinted by the gold bar theme that leaves you feeling like a million bucks. It celebrates the finest ingredients, including hand-picked tonka bean, Osmanthus, and Turkish Damascena rose.
The fragrance has an irresistible base of tonka beans, vanilla absolute, and patchouli. It opens with a fruity blend of davana and apple. The heart then beats with rich and warm notes of rose Damascena, Cedarwood, and Osmanthus.
Paco Rabanne FAME
Paco Rabanne FAME is the epitome of ultra-modern luxury—from the notes to the packaging. The thrilling fragrance is a blend of fresh notes, including jasmine, mango, and creamy incense.
The outcome is a scent that oozes luscious and sensual femininity. This is reflected by the glamorous bottle that features a playful and iridescent chainmail dress.
To make the fragrance even more alluring, Paco Rabanne FAME is designed sustainably, with 90% of the ingredients coming from natural sources.
There you have it – our cherry-picked guide to the best fragrance releases in 2022. You can’t go wrong with a spritz of one of the picks. The ball is now in your court to find the option that reflects your unique personality.
