Mood du jour: Nostalgic
It might be hard to pronounce, but I Profumi di Firenze Vaniglia del Madagascar—a tender fragrance from Italy—will take you back to simpler times, like when you wore Vanilla Fields or spent Sunday afternoons baking cookies in grandma’s kitchen. • $110
Mood du jour: Sexy
Slipping on a little black dress? Creed Love in Black is the perfect accompaniment. The violet, Virginia cedar, iris, clove and rose are seductive, mysterious and spicy. The bottle is also flashy—it’s made of black volcanic sand. • $350
Mood du jour: Flirty and Fun
Do you feel like running through a field of flowers? Or how about donning a flowing dress? Spritz on diptyque’s Geranium Odorata, a floral perfume with notes of bergamot, bourbon geranium, pink peppercorn, Tonka bean, vetiver and cedar. • $98
Mood du jour: Powerful
Worn by Prince William, Princess Kate and members of six presidential families, Creed’s Royal Oud exudes confidence. Oud is extracted from Agarwood trees, a carefully guarded resource that grows only in parts of India. Other notes include lemon, Sicilian bergamot, sandalwood and Tonkin musk. • $540
Mood du jour: Carefree
Feeling effervescent and at ease? Then Bond No. 9 Hudson Yards will keep the good times rolling. This explosively bright fragrance features notes of pink pepper, freesia, lily of the valley, Bulgarian rose, peony and orange blossom. • $330
