13 Best Smelling Peach Scented Perfumes

Beyond just being a delicious fruit, peaches are also pretty common in the world of ladies’ fragrances. It’s a familiar scent, that is really enjoyable, and brings to mind days in the spring or summertime.

In this post, I want to provide some options for those looking for a perfume with peach as the main attraction. In the end, I have selected thirteen options which I feel are the best bets, and a great starting place.


Favorite Ladies Peach Fragrances

Luxury Peach Fragrance

Tom Ford Bitter Peach by Tom Ford Eau De Parfum Spray (Unisex) 1.7 oz Men– Bitter Peach is more of a recent release from designer Tom Ford. It opens up with plenty of the peach, but it also shares the stage at first with patchouli and orange.

It is bitter, ripe, and gourmand thanks to help from that patchouli note. However, there is still a bit of sweetness here, creamy vanilla, a light heliotrope powder, and a hint of other floral notes.

The peach is the main star and the scent is quite bold and provides a very long lasting wear.

All together, it is a great representation of our target ingredient. Just one that is on the expensive end of the spectrum.


Naturalistic High End Peach

By Kilian – Flower of Immortality Eau de Parfum – 1.7 OZ Another of the more expensive options, but this one from By Kilian is probably the most natural smelling peach of the lot. It’s not nearly as strong as the Tom Ford above, but as far as a pure peach goes, this one brings it.

It’s paired at the opening with a tart black currant note, which then fades, and you’re left with the juicy sweetness of the target note.

Flower of Immortality sits softly on the skin, with a light powder developing underneath from its iris and rose combination.

Very attractive, but again, it is at a high price point. Whether or not it’s worth it, is up to you.


Flowerbomb Option

Flowerbomb Ruby Orchid–  Ruby Orchid utilizes both peach and a peach vine note. The latter is a greenish type of aroma, that lightly sits in the blend for a time.

Ruby Orchid does have a lot of overlap with the original. The early stages this seems to be true, but with our added peach note, that will get more shine during the middle act of the wear.

Fruity, sweet, with a vanilla and orchid dry down period. This is one of the better Flowerbomb flankers and a good one to try out, if you want more of a blended peach perfume, rather than just a straight up use of the fruit note.

Plus, if you’re a Flowerbomb fan already, there’s a really great chance that you’ll like this one too. Ruby Orchid Review


Daily Wear Peach Blend

Chloe By Karl Lagerfeld For Women. Eau De Toilette Spray 3.0 Oz– The classic scent from the Chloe line dating back to 1975. Clean, fresh, and really great to smell.

Chloe is a warm and memorable fragrance with tuberose being a main attraction, and the perfume is a fresh floral overall.

It also however, has to strong fruity notes, mainly our peach and some coconut. Starts off with a sunny semi-sweet aroma, before moving into its tuberose bouquet phase.

The good news is that bouquet, uses a healthy dose of peach, to balance things out.


Crisp and Light

DOLCE GABBANA Floral Drops Eau de Toilette Spray for Women, 2.5 Fluid Ounce– Floral Drops is a light and airy fragrance that utilizes peach, along with apple, to create a crisp opening act.

Obviously, with the name it is quite floral too, with its daffodil and water lily notes.

Ultimately, the blend isn’t too floral heavy, and the apple/peach pairing completely holds its own. This is a nice daily wear type of scent for spring /summer.

Bottles of Floral Drops usually aren’t too expensive, if bought from third party or discount sellers. Floral Drops Review


Warm Designer Blend

Dolce & Gabbana The One 3.3 Ounce EDT spray, 3.3 Ounce– The One is another blend with peach as the main fruit note. It is a mix of lily and peach, with amber and vanilla, flanking those two.

It is sweet and warm, mostly a floral fragrance, just with that beautiful peach scent.

A pure peach throughout? No, more of a fruity floral, that becomes closer to a floral peach perfume. However, it can be a nice option who want to mix the peach note up.

The One starts out with a heavier sillage, but becomes much more moderate, as it dries down. A solid 7 hours, on skin. The One EDT Review


Peachy Clean

Peach Fields– Peach Fields uses our target note, along with an opening blast of grapefruit, osmanthus and other citruses.

The effect is to create a clean and a bit of a sharp start to the wear. The citrus does take a step back and the main attraction gets its time in the spotlight.

The next phase is more about peach and sandalwood. There does seem to be some other generic woody notes in the mix, as well.

Peach Fields isn’t going to hit you over head with the peach note. It is there, but its wrapped up in a citrus, woody, musky, and somewhat floral aroma with peach as the center point. It might not be my first option, by there is a subset of peach lovers, that will adore this one.


Nighttime Peach

Gucci Rush by Gucci for Women 2.5 oz Eau de Toilette Spray When looking for the official notes in Gucci Rush, I’ve never been able to find peach being referenced.

However, it is almost certainly there, because that distinct aroma is present throughout. It is joined by floral notes, mainly rose and gardenia, at the top.

The dry down does get plenty of the rose note and becomes fairly floral, but that peachy smell really hangs around.

This one has enjoyed a bit of a resurgence over the past few years, after beings popular in the early 2000s. Rush is a bold and energetic perfume, with a certain level of sexiness, to boot. Gucci Rush Review


Powdery Floral Peach

TRESOR by Lancome EAU DE PARFUM SPRAY 3.4 Fluid OZ for WOMEN Tresor has been a star for decades now. It is sweet, powdery, with a creamy finish.

It does have the peach and apricot combo which prevents it from going too floral, but with notes such as: iris, rose, and heliotrope; it of course will head more toward the flowery end of the spectrum.

It is powdery but also has an amber-laden warmth about it, and an effervescent quality, particularly near the start. Sweet but unique and can be quite alluring.


Blended Peach Perfume

I Want Choo-  I Want Choo by Jimmy Choo is a popular and quite good mainstream fragrance that is highlighted by its peach note. However, while it’s not a pure peach perfume like some of the others it has plenty of our target not to satisfy, mainly in the first half.

I Want Choo EDP opens with peachy-mandarin fruitiness, not overwhelmingly juicy, as there is a strong vanilla note here, creating more of a sparkling quality.

The red lily and jasmine sambac build from that peachy start, with jasmine taking the lead. It’s sweet and somewhat soapy, nicely balanced by vanilla and benzoin – the resinous elements give it distinct character.

The fruits will fade to a sweet impression beneath the florals, with jasmine still dominating. The dry down settles into jasmine, vanilla, and benzoin, with other notes barely present. This Jimmy Choo is essentially those three notes carrying the show.

So, not a huge peach note throughout, but it’s a worthwhile one to try for those who enjoy the fruit’s aroma but don’t want it completely dominating. I Want Choo review


Peaches & Nectarine

Jo Malone Nectarine Blossom & Honey Cologne Spray, 3.4 Ounce Yes, this is named for nectarine, but there is also a peach note which pretty much shares responsibilities with it closely related fruit cohort.

The background notes are soft and somewhat green, but this is a very well-performing scent, which provides a super enjoyable peach ingredient.

Like other Jo Malone perfumes, Nectarine Blossom is pretty straightforward and kind of linear, but also awesome.


Peach and Rose

By Kilian – Liaisons Dangereuses, Eau de Parfum Perfume 50 ml– Here’s another entry from Kilian, that features a very nice peach note.

This time, it is paired with a tart black currant up top, and aroma that is smoothed out by rose. Also, a hint of plum.

The peach becomes the dominant fruit note after the start, then, it shares the headlines with the rose. It’s mostly a fruity floral, though Liaisons Dangereuses does have a light spice and a muskiness in the latter stages.

Very clean and juicy with nice performance. It is a unisex fragrance, but this one for sure leans more towards the traditionally feminine, with the creaminess of the peach at times. Expensive, yes. Though, the perfume does last for a long time. My Full Review


No Peach, Smells Like Peach

Cassili by PdM– Now, Cassili is a perfume that doesn’t have a peach note, but it really has a strong smell of peach. The mix of plum, red currant, and plumeria flower join together to give this a peachy and almost tropical scent early on in the wear.

The peach-like smell actually lasts throughout, which is why I’m including it on the list. It’s a great mix of fruity, tropical, and the sweet creaminess aided by the pretty prominent vanilla note.

The plum note and the frangipani lead things here, giving it that mix of peach and plum aroma. Then, there is a light rose note, along with some other more generic florals.

At some point, the plum will have an upper hand over the peach effect but as I said, it doesn’t entirely go away.

8 Best Smelling Ferragamo Perfumes for Her

I have already done a post in the past, on the best men’s colognes by Salvatore Ferragamo. Now, it is time to do the same on the ladies side of things.

Again, I have selected eight perfumes from its extensive lineup, which could be considered the best of the bunch. I’ve tried to get some different styles, in the mix, but ultimately went with what smelled the best.


Favorite Ferragamo Fragrances for Ladies

Energetic Tropical Scent

Incanto Shine By Salvatore Ferragamo For Women eau-de-toilette Spray, 3.40 Ounce– Incanto Shine is a really fun and tropical blend of notes like pineapple, peach, and passion fruit. It is really clean, with a light juiciness, and not a heavy sugary sort of fruit blend.

This one is youthful with some light floral notes, sitting underneath, such as peony. Shine is a pretty perfume, with solid performance, for those who like a cocktail of fruity aromas.

Incanto Shine isn’t one that is super complicated, but it does have a mass appeal, in that simple aroma. Yes, it is quite a bit like Victoria Secret’s Bombshell, but slightly different…to my nose at least.


Best Overall Ferragamo Perfume

Amo Ferragamo– I kind of slept on this scent, for a while. However, Amo Ferragamo, might be the best of the bunch. Is it super unique? No, but this perfume has lots of balance and a very attractive profile.

If you’re looking for something that’s easy to wear and can fit in a variety of situations, this is a great pick. It has a sweet and creamy profile with an orange and vanilla blend.

The performance is good, the aroma is pleasant, and I enjoy the rhubarb note that is lurking underneath.

The opening is more toward the syrupy and intensely sweet end of the spectrum. It does settle down more into the creaminess, however. It also becomes lighter and less of the sort of tartness coming from black currant, the orange fully takes over the fruitiness.


Sweet Floral

Salvatore Ferragamo Signorina Eau de Parfum Spray for Women, 3.4 Ounce– Signorina is an interesting blend of sweet and spicy notes, with florals, and a light musk. Pink pepper and red currant, add the warm spiciness, and the tart sweetness at the top.

It becomes more towards the sweeter end, as it moves along, but never truly goes overboard or anything. The peony and rose notes, give this one a light floral touch, with the wood/musk in the base. Fruity, tart, a bit creamy, and beautiful.

Towards the end, the rose dominates the peony, and it has a cake-like quality to the scent. Nice performance, but not super powerful.


Spicy Nighttime Rose

Salvatore Ferragamo F For Fascinating Night Women Eau De Parfum Spray, 3 Ounce– Fascinating Night kicks off with a blend of orange and pink pepper. The pink pepper gives it an opening blast of spice and warmth, which calms down, and really reveals a jasmine/rose blend.

It is light and floral with just peaks of the citrus, patchouli, and pink pepper that remains. Finally, there is an amber note which ties it all together.

It all comes across as quite attractive and clean and a scent that you could pretty much wear anytime.


Fresh Springtime Wear

Salvatore Ferragamo By Salvatore Ferragamo For Women. Eau De Parfum Spray 3.4 Ounces– Ferragamo Pour Femme is a very well-balanced and blended fragrance, which goes through different phases from citrus to spice to floral to green outdoorsy.

It starts off as a fresh citrus floral, but then the woodier and earthy notes come in, and changes the tone somewhat.

It’s not too heavy, but it has a clean freshness throughout, and a bit of a spicy kick at some points from the anise. This is a fantastic daily wear option.

This is a gorgeous and understated fragrance, that is perfect for daytime wear, particularly in the early spring through summer. The herbal sort of undertones, really make this perfume.


Best Incanto Perfume

Incanto Charms By Salvatore Ferragamo For Women. Eau De Toilette Spray 3.4 OZ Passion fruit and citrus kick this one off with a juicy top, much like Incanto Shine.

This one is sweeter and less tart, but when the notes such as rose and honeysuckle come in, Charms really separates itself from Shine.

It’s youthful, kind of girly, but brings a really playful energy and a great casual vibe. The drydown is more of the honeysuckle and passion fruit, than the rose, and other citruses.

I think that this one has more depth than Incanto Shine. The floral notes are really attractive, it has a sparkling air about it, and a lighter profile.

Shine can come across as more of a teenager fragrance, than this, even if they are both skewed towards the younger crowd. This could be worn by an older demographic, just fine.


Nice Signorina Flanker

Signorina Ribelle Salvatore Ferragamo 3.4 oz 100 ml Eau De Parfum Spray for Women– Ribelle is a creamier and fruitier take on the Signorina line of scents. You do still get the pink pepper spice of the original, but with a sweeter tropical composition.

The opening act is the citrus notes with the pink pepper. Then, that citrus will fade and you will get a vanilla ice cream aroma, with coconut, and the frangipani flower taking on a more prominent role.

It turns into a very smooth scent, with less of the spice. Really good performance and an enjoyable vanilla/coconut creaminess throughout most of it. The coconut isn’t super powerful, though.

This has more of a tropical creaminess versus Amo, listed above. Sweeter and a bit of a thicker aroma than that one. Yet, it never feels heavy or cloying, just sweet and enjoyable.


Another Sunny One

Signorina Libera– There haven’t been too many new Ferragamo fragrances in the past few years, but Libera is one that’s worth trying out. Maybe not for everyone, but it’s a bright and well-done warm weather perfume.

The opening is sparkling, sweet, and fruity. The pear note here is joined by a citrus top of bergamot and some plum in the heart. Though, the plum doesn’t seem all that heavy in the mix.

It’s got a sugar note too. So, you will get plenty of sweetness from Signorina Libera.  Meanwhile, a rich orris note and some resinous elemi are also coming through.

The initial half is sweeter and the back half you get cashmeran, orris, and ambroxan with the remaining sugar, plum, and pear (background players). Has some similarities to God is a Woman by Ariana Grande, but the overlap isn’t too exact.

Chanel Gabrielle vs Essence Comparison

Chanel released Gabrielle back in 2017 and it quickly gained some measure of popularity. A few years later, it introduced Gabrielle Essence as a follow up perfume. It can be tough to decide between the two, when you’re wanting to make a purchase.

So, I’m going to break things down based on my experience. Which is the better perfume? Which has better performance?

Read my review: Gabrielle Essence


Opening

Gabrielle opens with sparkling citrus notes (grapefruit, pear, orange) and a pink pepper spice. This is  alongside a floral  mix of orange blossom and ylang-ylang.

Even after me giving this Chanel multiple tries, the opening remains the fragrance’s weakest point.

I’m not usually a huge floral fan, but when those notes take over, this becomes a much better wear.

Fortunately, the transition doesn’t take long. Around 30 minutes in, jasmine and tuberose join the mix, creating a floral bouquet that’s much more appealing.

It’s focused on white petals rather than green stems. The overall character maintains a sweet and bright undercurrent that continues throughout the wear.

Meanwhile, Essence kicks off with some juicier fruits, and not the same sparkling brightness or sharpness of Gabrielle.

It lacks the original’s sparkling brightness but delivers better, juicier fruit – peach and citrus smoothed by white florals, with coconut emerging deeper into the wear.

There’s peach and coconut, along with the citrus notes, this time. There is also more of the orange blossom and jasmine, leading the way versus the original.

The fruity opening is improved but shorter-lived, quickly transitioning to florals. The key difference is Essence emphasizes orange blossom and jasmine upfront, while the EDP featured jasmine and tuberose. Here, tuberose plays a minimal role.

Which is better? I like Essence much more in the early stages. It feels more balanced, delicious, and the floral notes are the ones that I like better.

Gabrielle Essence opens much clearer than the original EDP, where notes blur together initially.  That makes for a better experience at the start.

Edge: Essence


Projection

Neither one of these fragrances is a powerhouse. Actually, they’re both fairly moderate and can spend time being skin scents. However, Essence reaches a slightly higher peak than does Gabrielle EDP.

It’s really not a huge difference, but noticeable.

Edge: Essence


Longevity

With Gabrielle, I got 7-7.5 hours of wear on the skin. Again, it’s not a powerhouse throughout, but it did hang around. Gabrielle Essence lasted just over 8, for another slight advantage.

Edge: Essence


Versatility

I don’t see a difference here. Both are wildly versatile, mostly in the spring and summer months.

You can go casual or more formal (but neither are super stuffy or serious). They have very pretty and attractive profiles.

Seasonally, Gabrielle and Gabrielle Essence is at their best in spring, though summer and autumn work well too.

In warmer spring air, these Chanel perfumes really hang beautifully and you catch whiffs of the full floral array. That bouquet effect is great.

Gabrielle Essence makes a versatile daily wear, just like the original. It’s not super formal and actually serves better as a casual or semi-formal scent.

It’s lovely and attractive, but not a super sexy club beast. You really wouldn’t offend anyone wearing them. These Chanel perfumes are pretty rather than provocative, making it a safe wear for most occasions.

So, the similarities don’t make much of a distinction. Tie.

Edge: Push


Overall Scent

I think that each of these fragrances is a very good release by Chanel. Gabrielle EDP settles into a floral bouquet with some remaining sweetness. It does everything well, even if it is a step behind Essence in many categories.

I think that it ultimately comes down to which floral notes you prefer, as the weighting is different between these perfumes.

With Gabrielle EDP, tuberose and jasmine play a larger role together, in the dry down.

Meanwhile, Essence doesn’t have as strong of a tuberose. It more evenly splits between orange blossom, jasmine, and ylang-ylang.

Personally, I think that Gabrielle Essence is the better fragrance all around. It doesn’t blow the original out of the water, but does make marked improvements in comparison.

It’s a beautiful perfume that improves on the original, which I already liked. Essence is a very well-balanced floral with a great fruity opening that avoids being over the top.

I prefer how the floral notes are weighted here compared to the original. Performance is somewhat better, though it could’ve been bumped up further. It’s not bad by any means, just not outstanding. Both longevity and projection sit above average.

This is more than just a solid Chanel entry. It does everything well and has the versatility to become a daily wear for many women. It feels more modern than some of their past releases, even if it’s not entirely unique.

Winner: Gabrielle Essence

7 Best Smelling Celine Perfumes

Celine is a luxury brand that has seen a lot of growth over the past decade. Naturally, this means that they’ve also ramped up their fragrance line, which had previously been somewhat spotty.

Nonetheless,  they do now have plenty of good perfume offerings for both men and women to check out. On this page, I will keep my running update of the top scents from Celine and why I think each deserves a spot on the list.


What are the Top Smelling Celine Fragrances?

Palo Santo Delight

Eau de Californie– This is an easy to wear fragrance with Palo Santo, as the main attraction. Woody, a bit sweet, and a hint of burning…but not completely like incense or scorched wood. Which is what you get with this wood in a perfume like, Burning Cherry.

Anyway, there is a bergamot touch, and an orris root which takes on the role of the companion to the Palo Santo.

It starts off more powdery for me, with the orris having the upper hand. It’s mossy, somewhat earthy, but the woods are there throughout and gain in strength.

Dry woods, powdery, with a creamy sweetness at times. The performance isn’t spectacular with Eau de Californie, but wasn’t horrific either. Deserving of a spot on this list.


Unique Green

Reptile– One of the more unique fragrances from the line, but undoubtedly one of the best, for a certain segment of people.

Reptile gives you an amazing and well-crafted blend of leather, moss, and pepper. The opening is a bit strange, though, you will be rewarded with this mix that has a nice amount of spice, fresh musk, and the cedar note that isn’t overly powerful.

Reptile is one that needs to be tested out. Some, aren’t going to like this at all. While others, are going to absolutely adore this Celine scent. The projection here isn’t massive, although it does have a good performance that can hit double digit hours of wear.


Smooth and Powdery Vanilla

Black Tie– Black Tie features a hyper-smooth vanilla accord, that plays well off of the orris root note, giving this an added layer of powder. Yes, it’s one that’s simple and been done before. However, this Celine version is of the utmost quality and absolutely beautiful.

Underneath the vanilla and orris you get just enough cedar to keep things fresh, but those two notes are definitely the stars.

Performance with Black Tie is also great. Strong sillage and longevity that will go all day, if need be. Unisex and classy. There’s also some moss in the mix, but not to the same extent as something like Reptile.


Warm, Light Creamy Vanilla

Zouzou– Zouzou is another option for those who want a vanilla-laden perfume from Celine. This time, we get one that is mainly paired with tonka bean and musk.

But, beyond that we do get some notes in support, early it will be a touch of benzoin. And during the dry down, labadanum will give its distinct amber finish. Still splitting duties with the musk note, however.

Zouzou is a lighter perfume and doesn’t every become a dense or heavy or cloying sort of vanilla. Instead, you get to enjoy the warmth, creaminess, and powdery elements with a lighter clean feeling.

Not super original or complex, but Zouzou is a beautiful fragrance from Celine.


Masculine Summer Scent

Parade– Parade is a simple fragrance, but a great one for the summer months. The perfume is sharp and extremely fresh, with its heavy dose of vetiver underlying the bergamot citrus and neroli top.

Initially, the top two notes make this one a powerful citrus, that doesn’t get super juicy and does finish much drier. Yet, Parade stays balanced between the vetiver and neroli, with the musk and bergamot playing the background later on.

Still technically unisex, but Parade leans much more masculine to my nose versus the other perfumes on the list. Great performance, smell, and nothing too extra added to the fragrance blend.


Lipstick and Powder Classic

Le Peau Nue– Yes, another iris based scent from Celine…it’s a pattern. But, this one gives you more of a floral-centric fragrance than some of the others. Here, it’s iris and rose, with a full on lipsticky type of aroma to it.

Le Peau Nue does get powdery of course, not only from the floral notes, but from an additional ‘rice powder’ note. Which adds a bit of a unique quality to it. But, the main focus is iris and rose, both of which get their time to shine.

This is very smooth and has a timeless classic style to it. It only seems to get its full creamy facets the further into the dry down you go. Le Peau Nue gives you a soft option for day and even some evenings, perfect for iris lovers.


Clean Woods

Bois Dormant– Orris root returns, this time with a fresher and woodier batch of companions. Namely, juniper and cedar.

The powder is there somewhat, but way toned down versus the others. This is more about fresh woods, aromatic juniper berries, and that light citrus sparkle up top. Early on, the vetiver will come through almost equally to the juniper and cedar, but will gradually fade.

Smooth and super clean, Bois Dormant is very easy to wear and would be lovely during the daytime in autumn through early spring. This is the choice who want some iris, but don’t want the same floral dominance as found in Le Peau Nue.

Eilish 1 vs Eilish 2

Billie Eilish has been slowly adding to the Eilish line of fragrances over the past few years. The first three were given a number, instead of a catchy title. The original, has been the most popular, but the sequel (Eilish No. 2) is also one that caught attention.

Eilish No. 1 and Eilish No. 2 are both quite different fragrances from one another, but which of them smells better? Lasts longer? Is the better buy?


Tale of the Tape: Eilish No. 1 vs. Eilish 2

Eilish 2 Full Review


Opening

The immediate spray of Eilish EDP delivers a blast of red berries with a hint of mandarin. However, this doesn’t go completely fruity, and those notes are actually minor players in the overall composition.

There is a distinct spiciness here. Cinnamon seems to be the main note, but other ingredients are present as well. It also has an ambery warmth, vanilla cream, and the emerging powdery cocoa aroma.

It is sweet, with its ‘sugared petals’ note. Rose, maybe? There is also something greenish and cold here in the mix. Sort of like menthol with the way it hits, not necessarily a pure mint, but perhaps, geranium? Not listed, but that’s what I get.

With Eilish 2, the fragrance starts off with a punch of black pepper up top that is soaked with a light citrus freshness from the bergamot note. Added to that, a touch of sweetness from the apple blossom.

The floral notes aren’t super heavy in this mix at all. You will catch hints of them at times, but nothing that’s going to dominate the composition.

The main draw here is the palo santo wood. That’s present throughout the wear. Earlier on here, the papyrus adds a further dryness and spiciness to things. The perfume is warm, earthy, and somewhat smoky.

Interestingly, Eilish 2 becomes a bit damp, in the middle and to the end of the wear.

Which is better?

I like both. However, I think Eilish 1 gets to the point quicker with its development. The opening of No. 2 can be too peppery and the fragrance smells better when its woody notes and fully taken over.

Edge: Eilish 1


Projection

On my skin, this feels like it has a pretty bold and far-reaching start. For the first 30 minutes or so, Eilish EDP seems loud and will leave a nice scent trail.

Thereafter, it moderates, but this has a scent bubble that lingers around you. The reach is probably in the 4 to 7 foot range, depending on how much you spray.

Eilish 2 isn’t a heavy fragrance. It’s substantial and noticeable, but more airy than the first one and not as dense.

The reach of either fragrance is about the same for the first hour or so (1 is stronger on opening). Eilish 1 just maintains its projection for longer and has a density to it that surpasses 2.

Edge: Eilish 1


Longevity

I personally get up to 8.5 hours of wear from Eilish EDP. It might go further than that for some folks, but this is what I’ve gotten out of it.

Not a super marathon runner, but a fragrance that is well above average.

Eilish 2 doesn’t hit the same level, but is still pretty decent. It’ll stick around for about 7 hours, on my skin.

Edge: Eilish 1


Versatility

Seasonally, both of these are obviously an autumn and winter wear. Once you’re in the warmer weather, neither is too great to have on. But, maybe some springtime sprays for either should be fine.

Eilish 1 also does skew younger with its sugary sweetness. But it’s one that doesn’t go completely into teen girl mode.

Sure, it fits that demographic, but if you’re older and like sweetness, there is still plenty here for you to like. No.2 is much more unisex and has a more mature profile than does the original.

Eilish could be a daily wear or venture into nightlife. It’s pretty, with that appealing baked goods gourmand style, which is popular with most people.

Meanwhile, No. 2, has a wider daily wear use case for more people. It’s still not a formal fragrance or anything, but it’ll fit in to many different scenarios.

Edge: Eilish 2


Overall Scent

With the first Billie Eilish fragrance, I really do like the opening act. It takes the usual sort of celeb perfumes and adds a nice amount of depth to it.

Takes something familiar and changes it up enough, to make it interesting, without being divisive.

It’s a great dynamic between the warmer spice and then a transition into something cooler.

The back half is fine, just not as captivating as how Eilish 1 starts out.

Eilish 2 is much more polarizing, as a fragrance. This one is decidedly unisex and has, if anything, a more traditionally masculine profile versus the first one in this series.

The black pepper can be intense in the first 30 minutes, you’re going to get plenty of palo santo woody smokiness, a slight sappy and resinous aroma, some light freshness, and creaminess.

Eilish 2 is much more unique and not one that is going to be appreciated by everyone. I do like it, but I think I like what I get from the opening act of the first Eilish perfume a bit more. 1 is the much safer buy and what most would gravitate toward.

The middle and dry down of 2, is less harsh, and a very nice woody fragrance for rather cheap.

Though, I will say, if you’re a palo santo fan or the blend sounds interesting to you…absolutely do try out Eilish 2, because some of you will absolutely love this fragrance. For the rest, the peppery woods might be too much to bear.

Winner: Eilish
