For fans of perfume, there is nothing more exciting than stumbling upon an online perfume sale, especially when you spot your favorite one, patiently waiting for you to snap it up at half price. Although you may love experimenting with the latest lipstick colors or the newest skincare miracle solutions, you may not be so daring when it comes to you new signature scent.
You’re a signature scent kind of gal, who would rather stockpile bottles of the same old Calvin Klein Obsession you’ve been wearing for years than take a risk wearing something new. But with the world’s biggest designers and luxury brands offering up perfumes every few months, you’re seriously missing out by sticking faithfully to just one option. To help you find a new signature scent that can transform your personal style and have you ditching Obsession for good, we’re taking away some of the guesswork and running through five of the best perfumes out there.
With so many designer perfumes on the market, finding a new signature scent can be overwhelming. To help you discover yours, here are five of the most popular perfumes from Fragrance Direct.

If you’re a fan of strong perfumes that pack plenty of punch, look no further than Dolce and Gabbana The One. Although it’s full of character, blending bergamot, mandarin orange, jasmine and amber, its warmth and sensuality keeps it sophisticated enough for everyday wear.
4. Stella McCartney POP

The cotton candy pink that dominates the advert for Stella McCartney POP has become one of this year’s biggest fashion colours. Fresh, fun and youthful, it also perfectly encapsulates the bold vibrancy of the perfume. Traditional musky base notes are given a twist with the unique addition of tomato leaves, green mandarin, and violet. A bottle of this will see you right through the summer.
3. Jimmy Choo Illicit Flower

The newest fragrance from Jimmy Choo is the fruity Illicit Flower. It’s beautifully composed, gracefully mixing mandarin orange, grapefruit and freesia. Warm cashmeran and creamy sandalwood base notes add depth and sophistication to this unashamedly feminine perfume. Although it’s a fairly mild scent, it’s got a pretty good lasting power – enough to keep you smelling fresh all day long.
2. YSL Black Opium

Edie Campbell, one of the most achingly cool models of recent years, fronts the dark and mysterious campaign for YSL Black Opium. She’s the perfect, edgy choice for an equally as distinctive perfume. Notes of coffee and pink pepper are expertly balanced with sweeter highlights of jasmine and vanilla. If you’re looking for a powerful evening fragrance, then this is the one for you.
1. Marc Jacobs Daisy
