‘Tis the season…’ or was; as we move into a new year, I’m not ready to put the festivities behind me, so a list of boozy perfumes is in order.

Although floral and fruity scents are popular, more perfumers should embrace rich, seductive notes such as rum, cognac, or champagne in their creations.

For me, boozy notes can elevate a mediocre perfume to new heights, giving it a decadent, rich, alluring, almost regal feel that will get you noticed.

Review

Overture Woman is a warm and boozy feminine fragrance with a ‘late night at a dinner party’ vibe that’s super sophisticated.

Incense, leather, and labdanum create a firm, rich base. The overall effect is dark, decadent, and smoky.

Top Notes:

Bergamot, Saffron, Calvados Accord

Mid Notes:

Benzoin, Myrrh, Rose Centifolia, Geranium, Cinnamon

Base Notes:

Incense, Labdanum, Leather

Seasons & Longevity

2. By Kilian | Angels’ Share Eau de Parfum

Review

A part of the lore of whisky making, the angels share that portion of the distilled alcohol that evaporates as it matures, making its way up into the air!

This fragrance opens with sweet, boozy cognac aromas and soon unleashes cinnamon, wood and tonka bean at its heart.

Then, just as the blend threatens to become overwhelming, sweet vanilla and praline come to the rescue. The result is rich, complex, and evocative.

Top Notes:

Cognac

Mid Notes:

Oak Absolute, Cinnamon, Tonka Bean

Base Notes:

Sandalwood, Praline, Vanilla

Seasons & Longevity

Warm, spicy, and woody (similar to Oajan by Parfums de Marly), Angels’ Share is intense and beautiful for autumn, winter and spring. Lasts 5+ hours.

Seasons: Autumn, Winter, Spring
Longevity 5+ hours

3. Atelier des Ors | Pink Me Up Eau de Parfum

Review

Pink Me Up Eau de Parfum is as fun and flirty as the name implies. Bright, fruity, floral, and decadent, it’s like a five-star beachside getaway in a bottle.

Bergamot and orange blossom, perhaps one of my favourite fruit-floral combinations, are lifted by champagne, rose, and blackberry.

Upon dry-down, the musky base also reveals hints of smoky patchouli and powdery iris.

Top Notes:

Bergamot Essence, Orange Blossom

Mid Notes:

Champagne, Rose Centifolia, Blackberry

Base Notes:

Patchouli Essence, Iris, Musk

Seasons & Longevity

This is the first real warm weather perfume on the list; Pink Me Up should give you the best part of 6+ hours worth of performance.

Seasons: Spring,Summer

Review

Maybe we’ve moved past the point of dreaming up elaborate weddings from childhood, but Wedding Silk Santal seems to have other ideas.

Sparkling fruity champagne and delicate white florals are soon joined by delicious aromas of nectarine and pink praline in the heart.

Upon dry-down, sugared musk, vanilla, and mixed woods elevate the seductive sweetness, reminding me of Ariana Grande Mod Vanilla.

Top Notes:

Sparkling Champagne, White Freesia, Blackcurrant

Mid Notes:

Lush Nectarine, Pink Praline, Jasmine, Rose Damascena, Orange Blossom

Base Notes:

Sugared Musk, Sandalwood, Oakmoss, Amber Woods, Vanilla Absolute

Whether you wear it to a wedding or work, it will stick with you all day, lasting 6+ hours.

5. Dior | Vanilla Diorama Eau de Parfum

Review

It’s no surprise to anyone that I love Dior, but you might not have heard me rave about Vanilla Diorama, which is a sin. This is a boozy, decadent scent perfect for the boudoir.

When applying Vanilla Diorama, you’ll notice a sweet and slightly spiced opening; orange, pink pepper, and lemon make a refreshing combination. 

Rum and cardamom-dusted cacao dominate the heart, leading to a sweet base of bourbon vanilla, supported by sandalwood and patchouli.

Top Notes:

Orange, Pink Pepper, Lemon

Mid Notes:

Rum, Cacao, Cardamom

Base Notes:

Bourbon Vanilla, Sandalwood, Patchouli

Seasons & Longevity

Vanilla Diorama is the perfect boozy scent for autumn, winter and spring. Expect to catch the lingering scent the next morning.

Seasons: Autumn, Winter, Spring
Longevity 8+ hours

6. Boadicea the Victorious | Bodacious Eau de Parfum

Review

Feminine doesn’t have to mean soft; Bodacious embodies the fierce, bold, and adventurous aspects of femininity.

Cherry, boozy cognac, almond, and clove create a powerful and alluring opening tempered by a floral heart of heliotrope, jasmine, and rose. 

Things get more complex as woody and resin alongside sweet tonka bean, tobacco, and musk slowly evolve.

Top Notes:

Cherry, Cognac, Almond, Clove

Mid Notes:

Heliotrope, Jasmine, Moroccan Rose

Base Notes:

Tonka Bean, Vanilla, Tobacco, Sandalwood, Amber, Musk, Vetiver

Seasons & Longevity

Wear Bodacious during autumn, winter and (early) spring to make the most of it. This boozy scent will stick with you for 8+ eight hours.

Seasons: Autumn, Winter, Spring
