If you’re a fragrance lover looking for ways to smell unique but you keep coming up short, I’m telling you right now—you’re probably not looking for fragrances with truly unique notes and accords. In this video, I’m sharing scents that go beyond what you’ll find at the Macy’s counter, and most of them are absolutely “try before you buy”… but still highly wearable. I’m talking caviar accord (yes, caviar), an Aperol spritz moment that feels like summer in Italy, a legit brioche bread note that gives panettone vibes, and even a dark, regal scent with coal and dragon’s blood resin. I also get into affordable uniqueness (hello, purple yam and date sugar), a seaweed note that shocked me with how addictive it is, and a beast mode red wine fragrance that’s pure sexy date-night energy. My biggest takeaway: if everything is starting to smell alike, it’s because we’re not demanding more creativity in notes. These picks will help you smell different while still smelling amazing—and I also share how I’d layer the more intense ones to make them easier for me to pull off.
