10 Best Perfumes From Next
We’ve selected the best perfumes from Next for women that range from classic floral bouquets to sparkling, fruity mixtures. Here are 10 fragrances to discover.
1. Next Cashmere Eau de Parfum
Review
Next Cashmere Eau de Parfum is a classic floral/musky feminine scent with sweet, dry undertones reminiscent of iconic fragrances like Chanel No 5.
The dry and powdery opening is a little harsh at first, but this soon settles into a bouquet of enticingly rich floral notes that makes up the heart. This fresh sweetness offsets the initial sharpness in the opening. It allows the whole fragrance to gently blend into a rather decadent musky base with grace.
Cashmere is a light and airy daytime perfume which fares best in spring and autumn when the coolish weather lets it flourish. The sillage and projection are good and not overpowering. It has surprising durability, and you can expect to get around 4+ hours of wear from each application.
The simple, round bottle and clear topper with its gold accents give Cashmere a delicate beauty.
Overall, Cashmere is a classy and sophisticated musky/floral daytime fragrance with a powdery edge that smells luxurious and expensive.

2. Next Define Eau de Parfum
Review
Next Define Eau de Parfum is an oriental floral fragrance with warm and sparkling notes that give it a seductive, sensual edge. Reminiscent of Emporio Armani’s She
The top notes of bergamot and pear give the opening a fresh, warm edge that deepens into the floral heart notes. Lily is the predominant floral note which blossoms as the perfume matures and develops until the musky and woody base seeps through. Delightful.
As a solid day-to-night fragrance Define can be worn at any time, but it really shines on autumnal evenings. The seductive and sultry fragrance is perfect for date nights and informal events.
Define has a strong sillage and projection and is incredible durability at 6+ hours. In fact, if you also spray this on your clothes, you should get around 8 hours of wear from it.
The tall, clear glass bottle which holds Define is clean-cut and elegant, much like the scent itself.
Overall, Define is a decadent and warming perfume which has a similar vibe to Emporio Armani’s She.

3. Next Just Pink Eau de Parfum
Review
If you like Mon Paris by YSL, you’ll love Next Just Pink Eau de Parfum. Sassy and seductive, Just Pink is a modern and punchy perfume for vibrant women!
The red berries which make up the top notes are sharp and zesty. This harsh opening edge soon mellows into the fruity/floral heart, where notes of raspberry and cherry blossom become prominent. The fresh green notes which make up the base prevent Just Pink from becoming too saccharine, keeping it light and sparkling.
This is a relatively uncomplicated perfume, but that works in its favour; this is a perfect spring and summer daytime scent. Think summer parties, lunches and mooching around enjoying the sunshine.
Performance is not incredible. The initial heavy projection and sillage soon fades and has only moderate staying power. You will have to reapply after around 3 hours. Just keep a small bottle in your purse for a top-up!
The pink bottle with its matching bow ties in perfectly to the all-out girlishness of Just Pink and that’s part of its charm.
Overall, Just Pink is a bright and cheerful feminine fragrance that puts a smile on your face. Not super long-lasting but considering the price it’s still great value.

4. Next Rouge Absolute Eau de Parfum
Review
Musky, warming and rich, Next Rogue Absolu Eau de Parfum is a complex and mature fragrance that is reminiscent of Armani’s Si.
The top notes of mandarin, plum and red fruits make the initial opening fresh, juicy, and incredibly sweet, but it quickly starts to deepen. The heart notes of jasmine, orange flower and cassis give it an earthy heart that perfectly complements the base of amber and tonka bean.
Rouge Absolu is a mature fragrance with decent sillage and good staying power. You can expect 5+ hours of wear on an average day, more if you apply it to your clothes and hair. While it really can be worn at any time, this fragrance really shines in autumn.
The bright red glass of the rectangular bottle meshes well with the vibrant fragrance inside it. The gold-toned topper and the black tassel add a little bit of feminine flair, making sure it will stand out on any dressing table.
Overall, Rouge Absolu is a rich and seductive fragrance with a stunning floral heart. Next has clearly demonstrated that they can compete with many expensive perfume houses. Highly recommended.

5. Next Flowers Eau de Parfum
Review
Bright, fresh, and clean, Next Flowers Eau de Parfum has a lot in common with Marc Jacobs Daisy, so if you’re a fan of that iconic fragrance, you’ll love this offering from Next!
The initial notes of jasmine and tuberose give Flowers a fresh, clean, and bright opening, much like Daisy. Still, the heart notes of patchouli and magnolia give it a rich depth that is supported by the base notes of tonka bean and sandalwood. Very feminine and classy.
Flowers is a perfect all-round perfume which can really be worn at any time. It really shines best on spring mornings and afternoons.
The sillage and projection can be a little bit overpowering if you apply Flowers too liberally. Still, the staying power is a little less extreme. Expect around 4+ hours of wear from each application.
The simple bottle is offset by an ornate flower topper which will make it stand out on any dressing table!
Overall, Flowers is a classic, dry, and bright fragrance which will leave you feeling fresh and feminine.

6. Next Gold Eau de Parfum
Review
Next Gold Eau de Parfum is a luxurious and opulent fragrance that mixes fruity, floral, and musky notes to produce a sensual and sexy scent that will leave you feeling confident and optimistic.
The top notes of grapefruit and mandarin give Gold a zesty and fresh opening that quickly mellows into the heart notes of ylang-ylang and muguet. When these layers come together, Gold becomes a deep and complex scent that evokes the boudoir. The base notes of musk and amber only deepen this effect when they bloom.
This is a perfect wintertime fragrance that will really shine on romantic dates and intimate events, or when you need a boost of confidence.
The strong sillage is pleasant despite being intense, but this is matched with good durability; you can expect around 7+ hours of wear from each application. The cut bottle with its gold topper looks as luxurious as the scent itself feels!
Overall, Gold is almost masculine in its intensity, and that is part of the charm. Perfect for the woman who knows who she is and where she is going.

7. Next Sparkle Eau de Parfum
Review
Next Sparkle Eau de Parfum is a fruity and floral blend with dry and powdery undertones. If you like Dolce & Gabbana The One you will love Sparkle.
The peach and citrus notes which make up the opening give it a sweet and juicy fragrance with just a little sharpness. As the floral bouquet which makes up the heart of this fragrance blooms, the fruitiness fades leaving a classic, light floral perfume that will leave you feeling refreshed. Upon dry-down, vanilla and amber add depth and warmth.
Unsurprisingly, this is a springtime perfume that really shines on crisp afternoons when the relatively mild sillage will flourish, and its durability will be maximised. You can expect around 4 hours of wear from this light perfume, so don’t be afraid to reapply!
Like most of Next’s perfumes, Sparkle is simply presented in a cut-glass bottle with a solver-toned topper and some light, gem embellishments. The result is feminine but understated.
Overall, Sparkle is a bright floral fragrance with vanilla and amber that provide a warmth that sets it apart from the usual light, floral blends.

8. Next Eau Nude Eau de Parfum
Review
A sweet and musky floral, Next Eau Nude Eau de Parfum will please fans of Chanel’s Coco Mademoiselle. This is a somewhat cosy fragrance for women who like to feel sensual and comfortable.
The top notes of this fragrance are incredibly floral with sweet jasmine taking centre stage. As this sweet and dry floral bouquet mellows into the heart of red fruits, you will notice hints of strawberry, raspberry, and red currents. This fruity heart blends well with the florals and melts beautifully into the base of vanilla and deep musk.
Eau Nude is an excellent all-weather, day-to-night perfume that will serve you well no matter where you go. Suited for everything from office daywear to formal evenings out.
The sillage and projection are decent, combined with good staying power. You can expect around 5 to 6 hours of wear from each application of Eau Nude.
The curved bottle with its flat upper edge and the shiny black topper is a little old-fashioned, but undeniably pleasant to look at.
Overall, Eau Nude is a light, floral feminine scent with surprising depth and a sweet base. Has a Coco Mademoiselle vibe about it.

9. Next White Amber Eau de Parfum
Review
Rich and warming, Next White Amber Eau de Parfum is a classic wood and amber fragrance with a deep, natural sweetness that will make you feel at ease in your own skin.
The top notes of honey and spices give this perfume an immediate, warming kick that will stay with you from start to finish. The rich sweetness of honey helps to enhance the heart note of white amber that takes the dry edge away from the base note of sandalwood.
This rich and spicy oriental fragrance is perfect for autumn and winter when the cold weather will let it shine without becoming cloying.
The initial heavy sillage and projection soon begin to mellow, where you will find that this is a sweet and durable fragrance that will last around 6 hours.
White Amber is presented in much the same way as Eau Nude; the simple shape of the bottle and topper are complemented nicely by the gold accents. The white ombre effect on the glass is an excellent addition, too!
Overall, White Amber is a classy and seductive scent that is reminiscent of Chloe Narcisse. Deep, rich and sensual.

10. Next Paradise Eau de Parfum
Review
A light, zesty, and sparkling fragrance, Next Paradise Eau de Parfum is a fruity fragrance with tropical undertones and a rich, warming base.
The top notes of Sicilian lemon and green apple make the opening crisp and zesty. A heart of rose and white flowers begin to smooth the edges for a more classically feminine scent. Upon dry-down, a base of sandalwood and black pepper adds a touch of mystery.
As for when to wear, Paradise will shine best on intimate dates and evenings in spring/summer and autumn, where its floral heart and rich base can truly shine.
Paradise has excellent performance, with good sillage/projection and decent durability at 4+ hours. If you apply Paradise to your clothing, you could get 7 hours of wear from each application.
The bottle is stunning; the green to gold ombre in the glass is beautifully done, and the gold-toned topper adds to the opulent look as a whole, inviting the touch.
Overall, Paradise is a fruity/floral feminine scent with tropical undercurrents and a rich, warmingly spiced base.

Lemon, Apple
