For decades, perfume has been one of the most important rituals in every woman and girl's routine each day. It's almost as important as what you wear and how you do your hair.

As amazing as these fragrances are, I have to add my personal favourite to this list, because it is truly a magnificent fragrance that you all really should try if you haven't already.

Parisienne by Yves Saint Laurent

This perfume embodies the essence of a woman who is incredibly free. She is not from Paris but Paris adopts her, because she knows how to love and how to live. Parisienne is the fragrance of ultra femininity, ultra sensuality. A grand floral with a woody structure, luminous even in its mystery.

These fragrances are undeniably the best of the best, as they embody the spirit and essence of freedom, love, happiness and everything beautiful and compress it into a bottle. But of course, not every perfume is perfect for everyone, so shop around, do some research and find the fragrances that really show the world who you are, as well as compliment your style.
