15 enticing alternatives to perfume

There’s more than one way to come up smelling roses

Famous Contributor / July 12 2024

We’ve decided to give our perfumes a little helping hand – because when it comes to sultry allure, a spritz on the wrist isn’t the only solution.

To deliver and develop your signature scent to a whole new level, you need to layer it. Or, if you’re not in the mood for your usual perfume, there’s plenty of other ways to douse yourself in a sweet scent.

Here’re our top picks for scents that are the perfect pair (or alternative) to your perfume spritz every morning.
