Around the corner from the House of Chanel in Paris, another iconic fashion house, Christian Dior, has been creating classic fragrances for women.

Nothing smells more like love than flowers, and this fragrance has a blend of damask roses and Egyptian jasmine, balanced with fruity Italian mandarins, swirled with amber, enhanced with Indonesian Patchouli, and vanilla. This is a precious and elegant signature scent worn by iconic women like Marlena Dietrich, Grace Kelly and Natalie Portman.

My favorite fragrance right now is crazy unique to myself ..if I could bottle it I would love s perfume that smelled like my breast milk...its a smell that will forever connect my daughter and myself. No one else has it. She is my miracle!
I wear fragrances depending on my mood more so than seasons. I have been wearing Sugar but I am really wanting Marc Jacobs Honey Eau de Parfum.
I'm wearing Jo Malone Orange Blossom this fall. Out in Arizona we are just getting out of the heat, this is a nice light fresh scent that doesn't get to cloying with the still warm weather. And who doesn't love the smell orange blossoms
I haven't worn any of these but I do like the smell of the Miss Dior. I will probably be wearing my Carolina Herrera 212 this Fall. I would love Gucci Guilty too, but don't currently have that one. :)
I am wearing Lily by Stella McCartney.
I love love, Flowerbomb! It's my fave scent ever I wear it all the time every girl should have it! I also really like Angel as well it's a great scent for fall. I love how a perfume can remind you of and bring you back to moments in your life when you wear it.. : )
I tried for the first time and liked DKNY Be Delicious So Intense because it stays on me without being loud
I haven't bought any of the fragrances shown here, I am at the point in my life that even purchasing perfume is an expensive thing to do. But I have tried Coco Mademoiselle and Miss Dior at the mall and I like how they smell. I currently use Cool Water, my fave since I was in high school.
i love this one Coco Mademoiselle @pinkTiffanyCo
I haven't tried any of these fragrances, and am currently looking for a new one. We're living in a different climate this fall for the first time, moving from PA to FL and I feel I'd like to find a soft fragrance due to the warmer weather.
Villain by Ed Hardy! It's sweet top notes are balanced out in the dry down by the creme brulee and sandalwood. I think it's a wonderful scent for Fall
Manifesto by Yves Saint Laurent - love it & love the fact that I bought it while out of the country on vacation, so it was duty free!!!
