I Tried Every Fragrance From This Viral TikTok Brand—These Are My Top Picks

Key notes: Indonesian cassia, black plum, clary sage, Ceylon cinnamon, pistachio, cashmere woods, Somalian incense, Madagascar vanilla, crisp amber

My review: This is the offering from the brand I've heard the most about. If you like a fragrance that's both woody and sweet, this is the one for you! The notes of incense, cashmere wood, and black plum stand out the most to me and this is a unique scent. I love that it has an earthier tone to it and it falls into more of a gourmand camp. This was my top pick of the bunch because it marries sweet and woody so perfectly—something I really love.

Key notes: Saffron, Sichuan pepper, bergamot, Tuscan leather, Turkish pink rose, wild raspberry, violet, marshmallow, ebony woods, patchouli

My review: As soon as I lifted my wrist to my nose to give this a sniff, I audibly said, "Ooh." I've tried a lot of perfumes and I can genuinely say I haven't smelled anything like this. The notes of leather give it a kick and stand out the most to me here, but it also smells fresh and crisp on the dry down in a way I didn't expect. It's kind of spicy and feels more like a traditionally masculine fragrance. If you like headier leather scents, this one is a good one to try. It's not exactly something I'd wear daily as I tend to favor gourmands, but I did still really like this.

Key notes: Eucalyptus leaves, coconut water, bergamot, salted fig, clary sage, blue violet, French lavender, Venezualan tonka bean, baltic amber, cedarwood

My review: This was by far my favorite fragrance of the bunch. TBH, the name is ironic because it instantly lifted my mood once I smelled it. It's sweet, breezy, and fresh all at the same time. A few of my favorite perfume notes are coconut water, tonka bean, fig, and violet—this fragrance has all four! While it does have a slight gourmand edge to it, it's not overpowering or syrupy, making it the perfect light daily scent.

Key notes: Italian Lemon, Australian pink pepper, jasmine petals, rhubarb, raspberry blossom, cedarwood, crisp amber, pink sugar

My review: This fragrance has a bit of a bite to it. The notes of rhubarb and pink pepper give it a sharpness that wasn't entirely my favorite, but it softens quite a bit with the dry down. Honestly, I just don't think this one quite worked for my body chemistry, but it does smell fresh and a tad salty, in case you like breezier fragrances.

Key notes: Pear, cedar, caramel

This new offering from DedCool is my favorite to date. It's so perfect for a beach day because it smells fresh and solar but also sweet.

Key notes: Wild gardenia, black plum, carnation, Indian tuberose, palissandre wood, honey

This perfume is a major splurge, but IMO, it's absolutely worth it. I have many favorites from Byredo, but this one is an unsung hero with lush notes of black plum, wild gardenia, tuberose, and honey.

Key notes: Sparkling raspberry, bright Calabrian bergamot, violet, rose absolute, cocoa butter, leather accords, Virginian cedarwood

I have been wearing this nonstop since its launch recently and have received so many compliments. It's a rich gourmand that's warm, fruity, and floral all at the same time. I can't get enough of it and even spray it on my arm when I'm working from home just to boost my mood.

Key notes: Tuberose petals, golden gardenia, honeysuckle

I adore this floral perfume from Ellis Brooklyn. Every time I wear it, at least one person tells me I smell good without fail.

Key notes: Bergamot, lychee, pear, grapefruit, petalia, rosa damascena, vetiver haiti orput, incense, ambroxan, vanilla, musk, evernyl

This is another one that falls into the splurge category, but it is my all-time favorite fragrance. It's sweet and has a charm to it that no other fragrance has, IMO.
