Planning a wedding can be a daunting process. Between choosing a venue to bring your vision to life, finding a dress you feel most comfortable in, and the million other little details that make the day unforgettable, it can feel like a never-ending to-do list.
With months of planning, the little details can get lost, like what perfume you’ll wear on your big day. We firmly believe in the importance of marking big moments in life with a new scent. This is mainly because your sense of smell is closely linked to memories and can take us back to those memories for a lifetime.
It makes sense that choosing the right perfume for your wedding day is important. The day flies by and many brides lament how quickly it goes by. Wearing a new perfume on your wedding day (or your wedding weekend or at your wedding events) can help you recreate those joyful feelings for years to come.
Below we suggest some that might exactly match your fantasy.
Christian Dior Holy Peony
$267 at Dior
Holy Peony is a beautiful floral fragrance with a subtle twist. Maison Christian Dior’s fragrance is special thanks to the interwoven notes of rose and lily of the valley, accentuated by bright strawberry and raspberry. It is also underlined by a musky woody note that prevents it from being too cloying and is perfect for the bride who wants to feel divinely feminine and strong on her wedding day.
Chanel N°5 Eau de Toilette
$228 at Chanel
When planning a wedding, one tends to stick to the classics, but it is your big day, so it’s important to make it your own. Chanel N°5 is a classic bridal fragrance, so why not deviate (just a little) from tradition and create the limited edition N°5 L’eau, a fresher and more vibrant interpretation of the original? It has a vibrant woody and citrus note and the latter is what sets it apart from the fragrance that inspired it.
Tsu Lang Yor Luca Eau de Parfum
170 $ at Mecca
For lovers of lightly masculine scents, Luca Eau de Parfum by Troye Sivan’s label Tsu Lang Yor is a real treat. Designed to complement your natural scent, the fragrance combines bergamot, cedarwood, frankincense and ambroxan to create a savoury scent that is undeniably sexy. It is perfect for the modern or unconventional bride and for evening weddings.
Twenty years after the first Monsieur Saab Bridal collection, the house has launched Le Parfum Bridal. A delicately feminine fragrance that evokes images of a woman dressed in silk on her wedding day and captures the intense emotions of the big day. It is a musky, woody, floral fragrance that opens with notes of ylang-ylang and orange blossom and is delicately wrapped in Madagascar vanilla and ambroxan.
Jo Malone London Wood, Sage and Sea Salt Cologne
from $120 at Myer
If you’re looking for a fresh fragrance that’s not floral, Wood Sage and Sea Salt by Jo Malone deserves your attention. It’s a complex scent that’s light and feminine, but has a serious base. Thanks to ambrette seed, sea salt and sage as the main notes, along with fresh grapefruit and red algae, it’s like a calming summer evening in a bottle.
Glossier You Eau de Parfum
$129 at Mecca
Glossier You was designed with everyone smelling different. The skin scent was developed without a top note, meaning it’s also suitable for combining with your favorite fragrances. It’s lovely on its own, with musky, peppery and creamy notes, refreshed by orris root. But it’s also a lovely idea to combine You with your favorite fragrance, so you can smell like yourself on your big day, only a little better. (Just test the combination beforehand to make sure they go well together).
