8 Luxury European Fragrances That Will Make You Smell Expensive

Finding a good perfume is challenging on so many levels. You want it to be versatile — not too strong, not too weak, not too floral, not too warm, not too woodsy . . . ahh! The list goes on and on. In simple terms, you want a fragrance that makes people say “Wow, I love that lady’s delicate smell! She smells like luxury,” as opposed to, “Wow, that lady’s cheap perfume is killing me!”

If you want an expensive-smelling failproof perfume, try turning across the pond — particularly to Italy and France. Italian and French perfumes — with their sophisticated notes, distinctive profiles and timeless elements — are something different, followed closely by English perfumes. The scents have depth, richness, history and class, all without overpowering the senses. In other words, they’re everything you want in a fragrance!

As with anything, however, not every European perfume is perfect; there are some that miss the mark. We tested a bunch of luxe-smelling European fragrances that come straight from the continent itself.

So if you’re like Us and want to smell like you own a place (or two) in Positano, scroll on. Details below!

Eau d'Italie Acqua di Positano Eau de Parfum

Adored by A-listers, the mega-rich and travelers like Us, Positano, Italy is the place to be — especially Le Sirenuse Hotel. This one-of-a-kind scent captures the essence of a summery day on the Amalfi Coast, combining a sparkly citron note with orange flowers and sea salt.
