Fragrances: top 10 ratings

Thinking of Mother’s Day or just looking for a fresh, new fragrance? Here are the Top 10 fragrances as rated by Substance.com!

1. Ralph Lauren Romance

For the true romantic, nothing outdoes a gift of Ralph Lauren’s Romance fragrance, a feminine, floral scent that contains topnotes of ginger, marigold, freesia, chamomile, rose and lychee. Refined and sophisticated, it’s an elegant gift in any season – and especially meaningful for Mother’s Day.

2. Chanel Coco Mademoiselle

As the fashion-conscious everywhere well know, it’s not every day that Chanel launches a new fragrance, so the spring release of Coco Mademoiselle, a mix of bergamot and orange, is a noteworthy event. Modern moms will love this fresh fragrance, designed for women who are confident enough to know their own style.

3. The Body Shop Perfume Oil

This perfume oil improves as the day progresses. You can easily forget you are wearing it until someone asks. Its subtle, yet effective. Most women enjoy the earthy, naturalness of this scent.

4. Max Azria BCBGirls

BCBGirls has the right fragrance for the girl in every woman. Choose from four: Star, a dramatic, elegant, opulent floral; Sexy, an inviting, passionate, sheer oriental; Nature, a citrusy floral that revives, uplifts and brings a sense of balance; and Metro, a crisp floral that is both dynamic and inspired.

5. Chanel No.19

Chanel No.19 perfume comes in a variety of strengths. It is the scent that makes men ask, what is that perfume you’re wearing? This was Gabrielle Chanel’s signature scent. It is very classy and elegant, just like the woman it was created for.

6. Lancôme Trésor

Trésor (French for “treasure”) is a parfum that claims to be a rare, modern “floriental” that combines the elegance of Rose, Muguet and Lilac with the sparkle of Apricot Blossom, Heliotrope and Iris which are used to stir deep emotions.

7. Victoria’s Secret Very Sexy

Can’t keep your hands off him? The spicy citrus blend of Very Sexy For Him could make it even more difficult. With top notes of tangerine, pink lime and bergamot leaves, it’s as sexy and unexpected as the man who wears it (and a perfect complement to those silk boxers).

8. Anna Sui Anna Sui Parfum

This fashionable floral fragrance is just what a trendsetting mom wants to wear. It’s a sophisticated combination of bergamot, raspberry and apricot. She’ll love dabbing it behind her ears and on her pulse points, whether she’s going to the office or heading out for the evening.

9. Michael Kors Michael Fragrance

Michael, the first fragrance for women is tuberose reinvented. Creamy florals explode into exotic spices, tamed by Moroccan incense. A fragrant creation with a wealth of personality. Blend: Floral. Notes: Dewy Freesia, Tamarind, Chinese Osmanthus, Incense, Fresh Tuberose, White Wings Peony, Blue Orris, Arum Lilies, Cashmere Woods, Musk, Vetiver Haiti. Style: Sophisticated and sensual, warm and wearable.

10. Guerlain Shalimar

Shalimar has been one of the world’s most beloved fragrances since it was created in 1925. It is still sold in a Baccarat crystal bottle and is a warm floral-spicy blend, which evokes sensuality.
