Light Blue Eau Intense vs. Dylan Blue

by

For this entry, I want to do a comparison post between two men’s colognes, with fairly aquatic compositions: Dylan Blue by Versace vs. Light Blue Eau Intense by D&G. Which of these two popular fragrances, smells better? Which has the better longevity and strength?

I have worn and reviewed each, over the past few years, and will now breakdown which one is the better buy.

Quick Overview

My Verdict

Light Blue Eau Intense is the better fragrance. Dylan Blue has the stronger projection, but Light Blue Eau Intense smells fresher, opens better, lasts longer, and is more enjoyable overall.

Dylan Blue is still a good citrus-aquatic fragrance, but the ambroxan, pepper, and violet leaf dry down is not as strong as its opening. Light Blue Eau Intense is colder, cleaner, and better for hot weather.

Category Versace Dylan Blue D&G Light Blue Eau Intense Winner
Opening Starts with bergamot, grapefruit, aquatic notes, ambroxan, and fig. The citrus aquatic opening is one of its best parts. Opens with frozen grapefruit, mandarin, juniper, and aquatic notes. It is colder, fresher, and more refreshing. Light Blue Eau Intense
Projection Starts stronger and reaches a higher projection level early in the wear. Can also be strong at first, but does not hit quite the same projection level as Dylan Blue. Dylan Blue
Longevity Lasts around 6-7 hours, which is decent and serviceable. Can last around 9 hours, giving it the clear advantage in staying power. Light Blue Eau Intense
Versatility Great for spring and summer, but can work year round. Useful for casual wear, dates, and dressed-up situations. Also great for spring and summer, but can work year round. Easy to wear casually, dressed up, or on dates. Tie
Overall Scent A good citrus aquatic scent, but the dry down leans more into ambroxan, pepper, and violet leaf. Fresher, colder, more aquatic, longer lasting, and better overall. The chilled fruit, aquatic accord, juniper, and woody base make it more enjoyable. Light Blue Eau Intense

My review: Light Blue Eau Intense

Opening

Bergamot and grapefruit are the top notes of Dylan Blue. These two notes sit on top of a somewhat aquatic accord, surrounded by ambroxan, and a fig note which gives it some distinction versus other fragrances in this style. The opening is one of my favorite parts of Dylan Blue.

Light Blue Eau Intense also opens up with grapefruit, but is instead joined by mandarin orange, and the grapefruit has a frozen coolness added. It doesn’t have that same peppery intensity as the original, but I instead get plenty of juinper, and the aquatic accord in the beginning.

Which is better? I really enjoy how both of them start off, but I would say that I like Eau Intense more than Dylan Blue. It is refreshing and aquatic and doesn’t bring about similar thoughts of Sauvage, like Dylan Blue can.

Edge: Eau Intense

Projection

The sillage of both can be strong at first, but I think Dylan Blue hits a higher level. An hour or two into the wear, both of these colognes move more into the moderate end of things.

Edge: Dylan Blue

Longevity

Dylan Blue lasts for 6-7 hours on my skin and I never get any more than that. It’s decent and serviceable. Light Blue Eau Intense will last or 9 hours, in my experiences with it.

Edge: Eau Intense

Versatility

Both are great in the spring/summer, but can work year round. Both can go casual, more dressed, up and out on a date, if need be. I don’t really see much of a distinction between these fragrances, here.

Edge: Push

Overall Scent

Dylan Blue grew to me having a higher esteem for the fragrance, the more I tested it out. I still don’t love it, but I do like the citrus aquatic opening, a whole lot.

The rest of the wear, becomes laden with ambroxan, pepper, and violet leaf. That part of it isn’t as good, but again, not terrible either. I never came around to thinking that the dry down, was more than decent.

Light Blue Eau Intense is better, in my opinion. The opening is even better than Dylan Blue’s which is the highlight of its life, and it also lasts longer.

It’s super fresh and the aquatic/fruit elements are chilled, which is really awesome on a hot day. Plus, the woody base with juniper floating around, only adds to its pleasant smell.

It’s a pretty close match up, but I’m going with the Dolce, in this one.

Winner: Eau Intense

Who Should Buy Versace Dylan Blue?

Buy Dylan Blue if you want the stronger projecting fragrance. It is best if you like grapefruit, bergamot, ambroxan, fig leaf, violet leaf, and pepper. It works well for casual wear, spring, summer, dates, and year-round use. It also makes sense if you want something more in the blue fragrance style.

Who Should Buy D&G Light Blue Eau Intense?

Buy Light Blue Eau Intense if you want the better summer fragrance. It is fresher, colder, longer lasting, and more aquatic than Dylan Blue. It is best if you like frozen grapefruit, mandarin, juniper, aquatic notes, musk, and amber woods. This is the better choice for hot days, vacations, casual wear, and warm-weather daily use.

Versace Eros vs. Eros EDP

by

Versace Eros is a mega best seller and it now appears that Versace is going to keep bringing out newer editions of this scent. Eros eau de parfum was released by the brand in 2020. It’s a different take on the Eros formula, but is it actually better? Is it way different? Which of these colognes should you buy?

Quick Overview

My Verdict

Versace Eros EDP wins this comparison. It is smoother, fresher, more refined, and slightly better performing.

Eros EDT is still good, especially if you want the original sweet, youthful Eros style. However, newer EDT bottles feel more lemon-heavy and less balanced than before.

If prices are close, I would buy Eros EDP.

Category Versace Eros EDT Versace Eros EDP Winner
Opening Citrusy sweet with a stronger lemon note in newer bottles, along with creamy vanilla, tonka bean, mint, and some green apple. Smoother and fresher, with softer citrus, mint, geranium, sage, green apple, and vanilla. Cooler and more herbal than the EDT. Eros EDP
Projection Still strong and projects well, but current bottles are weaker than the older vintage EDT. A bit stronger in current form, with a nice radius of projection. Eros EDP
Longevity Can still last 8-10 hours, but usually sits closer to the 8-hour mark now. Lasts around 8-9.5 hours and more consistently reaches the 9-hour range. Eros EDP
Versatility Best for younger guys, nightlife, romantic wear, and mostly autumn or winter use. Still works for nights out and romantic wear, but has a more refined profile and can suit a slightly older demographic. Eros EDP
Overall Scent Still a nice, popular fragrance, but newer bottles feel more lemon-heavy and less balanced than the older formula. Smoother, more mature, and more stylish overall. The ambermax note takes a few points off, but it is still the better scent. Eros EDP

My Review: Eros EDP

Opening

Newer bottles of Eros EDT start out with a stronger lemon note, than it had previously. It is citrusy sweet with a creamy vanilla note, tonka bean, and mint.

The green apple is still present, though, it doesn’t have the same impact that it once did. I feel that this fragrance used to be more balanced. Maybe, I’m mis-remembering, but I wore Eros for a long time and it’s just different now.

Note: I did buy a bottle of Greatness by the Dua Brand, which is their version of the 2012 Eros EDT formula, and it is definitely more balanced with vanilla and less citrusy. Which pretty much affirms to me, that I remember the old bottles very well.

Eros EDP doesn’t have that same strong influence from the citrus notes. They are still there, just softer. Instead, you get mint, geranium, and sage. This gives Eros EDP a cool freshness, which I find enjoyable.

Also, the green apple and vanilla notes have plenty of power and provide that delicious sweetness. The tonka bean isn’t there, but I actually prefer it that way, with this composition.

It reminded me of older bottles of the EDT, but with that colder and more herbal profile. After the opening, it kind of gets away from that and does its own thing.

Which opens better? The EDP. It feels smoother, fresher, and I like that cold sweetness much more than current bottles of Eros.

The mint, geranium, and sage trio is a nice change of pace from a composition weighting aspect. Still has the EDT features, just switched up somewhat.

Edge: EDP

Projection

Eros and Eros EDP are both strong fragrances. The original has lost a step, but still does project itself nicely versus most other scents.

When compared to EDP, it is just a bit weaker nowadays. If I had an older bottle of Eros, it would outperform the eau de parfum.

The vintage EDT was an absolute monster, for this type of designer fragrance.

Here in 2024, the EDP is just a bit better with its strength and it does have a nice radius of fragrance projection.

Neither of these two colognes is weak or bad with their performance. Just not to the same extreme as the vintage.

Edge: EDP

Longevity

So, older bottles of the EDT were a lot better on my skin than the current ones. That being said, I can still get 8-10 hours with it nowadays. Mostly, closer to the 8 hour mark. Really, that’s what you’ll need in most cases, beyond that is just icing on the cake.

Eau de parfum will go 8-9.5 hours. It has a slightly lower top end, but seems to hit the 9 hour mark more consistently than does Eros EDT.

I thought that the EDP would really go beast mode with the performance. It’s quite good, but not to the level I expected, going into testing.

They’re basically the same, but I’ll give EDP a slight edge for consistency.

Edge: EDP

Versatility

Ok, they are both still scents for mostly the autumn and wintertime. Eros EDP can hold up better in more moderate temperatures, but that’s not it’s best use case.

Eros was really a younger man’s scent, mostly for nightlife and romantic wear. EDP can still do both. Though, it’s demographic has stretched higher and older guys should be able to enjoy it more so than the original.

The EDP is more refined. It’s not a major difference, but I’ll give it the nod.

Edge: EDP

Overall Scent

I had bottles of the original Eros, pretty much since it came out. I really loved this scent for a long while. Now, it’s more of a like. The slight changes over the years have thrown it off and it doesn’t have quite the same level of power.

The lemon note comes on too strong nowadays, as it used to share more of the spotlight with the mint, vanilla, and apple notes. When it had the right mix, it was an amazing and bold cologne. That being the case, I still have grown somewhat tired of the formula.

But, Eros is still mostly a nice fragrance for younger guys. It’s well-tested and has plenty of popularity with the public. It’s still worth a purchase, if you’re in the market for this style of cologne.

Eros EDP is a bit better nowadays, but not by much. It does have a smoother and a more mature profile. The performance is a little better, as well.

When the mint, sage, and geranium blend with the vanilla note and slight citrus…it’s a very nice experience. Eros EDP smells nice for much of the wear. I don’t like the ambermax note, in this, as it is the same one that bothered me with Eros Flame.

It doesn’t ruin the scent, just takes some points off of it. Eros EDP is the one that you should go with between these two. It’s not leagues better, but it does everything as a whole, with more style.

I like the opening act of the eau de parfum a lot. It had potential to be a great scent, but it’s merely a good one. If the EDP is priced way higher than the EDT, I’d probably pick up the latter , if I wanted an Eros scent besides Parfum.

Winner: Eros EDP

Who Should Buy Versace Eros EDT?

Buy Eros EDT if you want the sweeter, louder, more youthful version. It is best for younger guys, nights out, dates, parties, and colder weather. It also makes sense if you find it for a much lower price than the EDP.

Who Should Buy Versace Eros EDP?

Buy Eros EDP if you want the better fragrance overall. It is smoother, more mature, and a little more versatile. It still has the sweet Eros DNA, but it feels more polished than the EDT. This is the better choice if prices are close, but Eros Parfum is even better.

Which is better, Versace Eros EDT or Eros EDP?

Versace Eros EDP is better overall. It has a smoother opening, slightly better projection, more consistent longevity, better versatility, and a more refined scent profile.

Eros EDP lasts around 8-9.5 hours and reaches the 9-hour range more consistently. Neither hits the same lofty levels that the original EDT release did.

Does Eros EDP project better than Eros EDT?

Yes, in current bottles, Eros EDP projects a little better. Eros EDT is still strong, but it has lost some of the power that older bottles had.

Is Versace Eros EDT still worth buying?

Yes, Versace Eros EDT is still worth buying if you like sweet, youthful, bold fragrances or if you find it at a much better price than the EDP. It is still a solid pick for nightlife, dates, and cooler weather.

Yes, Eros EDP smells more mature than the EDT. It keeps the sweet Eros DNA but adds a smoother, cooler, more herbal profile with sage, geranium, mint, vanilla, and softer citrus.

Versace Eros vs Eros Flame Comparison

by

Versace Eros has been one of the most popular men’s fragrances of this decade. It really was only a matter of time before Versace, released a flanker fragrance of it, and did so with the late 2018 release of Eros Flame.

Obviously, I had to get a bottle of Eros Flame to try it out, and also to do a head to head with the original. Which of them smells better? Does Flame have great performance, like the original? Does it come close to or actually surpass Eros?

Note: I’ve been updating this page since 2018. Documenting the changes with each and my changes in preference.

Quick Overview

🏆 My Verdict

Versace Eros wins on opening, versatility, and overall scent, while Eros Flame wins on projection and longevity.

Buy Eros if you want the fresher mint-apple vanilla profile with stronger mass appeal and easier everyday wear.

Buy Eros Flame if you prefer the spicier citrus-pepper style with a warmer, more mature feel and stronger cold-weather performance.

 

Category Versace Eros Versace Eros Flame Winner
Opening Mint, green apple, lemon, vanilla, and bright youthful sweetness Mandarin, lemon, black pepper, rosemary, and spicy citrus warmth Eros
Projection Strong and loud, but smoother off the skin Even stronger early projection with heavier spicy presence Eros Flame
Longevity Usually around 7–8 hours Usually around 8+ hours with stronger late wear Eros Flame
Versatility Nightlife, dates, parties, but also easier casual daily wear Best for autumn/winter, nightlife, and more dressed-up wear Eros
Overall Scent Sweeter mint-apple vanilla scent with stronger mass appeal Spicier citrus-amber profile with a warmer, more mature personality Eros
Best For Those who want the fresher, more versatile crowd-pleaser Those who want the stronger, spicier cold-weather option —

My review: Eros Flame

Opening

Versace Eros opens up with a zesty note of lemon that is paired with juicy green apple and a refreshing mint note. It is quite intense and fresh, later to be joined by vanilla, tonka bean, and a bit of vetiver.

The combination of these notes, gives Eros a slight, chocolate-like undertone.

Update: With modern bottles of Eros, I do get more of the lemon note in the mix, than I previously had. It kind of throws the balance off. It’s not as good to me. So, it’s a lot closer to a tie nowadays, versus being a clear cut favorite.

Eros Flame has a very similar opening to the original. However, there are distinct differences. Noticeably, the mint and green apple notes are not there.

Instead, the lemon is joined by tangerine, a chinotto accord, and black pepper for the spice. It also has the vanilla and tonka bean.

Which is better? While I really do like the addition of the tangerine in Eros Flame, as I think that it smells great, I still prefer the original and that awesome mint note.

How it plays off of the lemon and apple, was always intriguing to my nose.

Update 2: Here in 2024, Eros EDT is back to smelling more like it used to. Eros Flame is less citrusy than before, I’m getting more rose along with the chinotto. It’s nice. Almost made me flip this category to Flame.

Edge: Eros

Projection

Eros has become very well known for its sillage over the years. It’s always been a fragrance that you could spray a couple of times and be set.

Does Flame match up to that? It does actually.

The first time I sprayed in on my skin, I definitely noticed how strong it could be, and its ability to project was great. I really don’t notice a difference between them.

Update: Newer bottles of Eros don’t seem to have the same power. Flame now has the better performance. That power really came through with the initial Flame bottles. I don’t believe it has lost a step, as of this update.

Update 2: Flame is now somewhat weaker than before. Still has the advantage, however.

Edge: Flame

Longevity

Again, these two share so much of that same fragrance DNA, that their performance is near identical for me.

I can get into the double digit total in hours of wear with either of these fragrances. Performance is not an issue for Flame.

Update: Longevity is also not quite as good with newer Eros bottles. So, Flame has a bigger lead here.

Update 2: Eros Flame still has the advantage. Neither hits double digits in terms of hours worn, for me anymore.

Edge: Flame

 

Versatility

Both of these fragrances are mainly colder weather scents. Springtime is viable for either but I would avoid the high heat and humidity of the summer months.

These are mostly nightlife or casual fragrances, but not bad in more formal settings, if you go light. This is another category, in which they occupy the same space, as to be expected.

Probably not going to be a daily wear for a professional, but either could do so for a younger guy.

Edge: Push

Overall Scent

OK, so, are these two the same exact fragrance? No, not really. The distinctions become more pronounced during the dry down periods of each.

Yes, the opening for both are quite similar, with only the aforementioned alterations.

Eros Flame is actually a nice change of pace. The dry down of Flame is much more woody with a combo of cedar and sandalwood. Also, rosemary is a prominent part of the composition of Flame.

There is still a ton of overlap in the base notes, but the amount used of each changes. I think that the cedar and geranium are more heavily used in Flame, than in the original.

Plus, there is a very slight rose note, that peaks through at times in Flame; I find it to be a cool touch.

What you get ultimately with Flame? The citrus top led by tangerine with tonka bean and vanilla. This sits on top of a base of cedar, geranium, rosemary, and sandalwood. It reminds you of the original, but still separate enough.

Which is better? I’m still riding with the original most of the time, if I had to pick between the two. I own bottles of each of them and have been going heavy with Flame, as of late, for review purposes.

In the future, I will probably alternate between them, when I want to go with an Eros scent.

Update: Yeah, I’ll stick with Eros before Flame. Even with somewhat of a reformulation and weakening of the original it is still better. Flame has great performance, but after the initial citrus burst and  chinotto, it tends to give me a headache. I really started to never want to wear it.

Update 2: I like what I’m getting out of the modern Eros Flame, in terms of aroma. Feels more balanced and doesn’t have such an overwhelming dry down like my original bottle had. If Eros EDT, was still to strong with the lemon, I might have changed this to Flame. But, I’m still going with the original Eros.

If you liked the original, you’ll probably be into Flame as well. If you hate Eros, this one isn’t going to win you over.

Do you need a bottle of each? Probably not.

I don’t believe Flame does anything to surpass the original, but is a solid addition to the line, that can give you a bit of a different feel.

Winner: Versace Eros

Who Should Buy Each?

Choose Versace Eros if:

You want the better overall fragrance for most people
You prefer mint, green apple, lemon, vanilla, tonka bean, and sweeter freshness

Versace Eros FAQ

Are Eros and Eros Flame too similar to own both?

No. These two are quite distinct from one another. The Eros’ in the blue bottles are very similar and its probably redundant to own all of those, but you could own EDT and Flame without issue.

Which one has better performance overall?

Eros Flame. Both of these have taken a step back in terms of performance from my older bottles that I’ve owned. Still, Flame has the edge in performance.

Which is the best Versace Eros?

To me, they’re all currently around the same in terms of enjoyment. My preference is toward Eros Parfum, if I had to buy one. Probably Eros EDT, second. Then, Flame. If I had to buy two, I’d get Parfum and Flame, just to have something different to wear.

 

10 Best Mugler Perfumes for Women

by

French fashion designer Thierry Mugler has had long success producing a haute couture line of clothing and lifestyle items. Perhaps his most successful and most popular contribution to the world of fashion is his fragrance line. Two of his perfumes, Alien and Angel, are seemingly always among the top sellers for women.

Why? They are well-made with unique notes and they of course also smell great. For this list, I want to present to you the best smelling fragrances from the Thierry Mugler line and the top variants of the Alien and Angel names.

Note: This brand goes through a lot of flankers, some perfumes may be discontinued between updates. But, you can usually find them at discounters.

What are the Best Mugler Perfumes?

Best Seller

Thierry Mugler Alien Refillable Eau de Parfum Spray, 3 Ounce– Alien is an interesting fragrance for women, as the name itself suggests, there is something exotic. foreign, or even other worldly about this scent. Floral and woody notes blend together and top it off with a kick of spice.

It’s sweet and loud and a perfume that really shines in the wintertime. Alien is led by jasmine as the floral, surrounded by warm amber, and with a woody base. This fragrance lets itself be known, can overwhelm some, but others swear by its power and cannot do without this Mugler creation.

This is the most popular Mugler fragrance, along with Angel, so it’s likely the one that you already know. While it has become widely used, Alien is still a very good fragrance, and has its place on this list without question.

If Alien is too much for you, you could also try the much more tolerable Alien Fusion. It’s too similar for me to give it, it’s own entry on the list, but Fusion is excellent.

alien

Classic Powerhouse

Thierry Mugler Angel Eau De Parfum Spray, 1.7 Ounce– A strong, daytime fragrance that has been one of the best selling perfumes for quite a long while. Angel is fresh and intriguing.

However, it does bring the power, and the longevity is incredible. The opening is sweet with coconut, a dark chocolate, and fruit notes (mainly melon).

It dries down with a lot of patchouli. Very gourmand in the beginning, a highly famous scent. Not really one for those who want something light or need a perfume for a warmer climate.

The aroma has become very familiar, but it’s still a great wear in the right situation. Notes include: vanilla, sandalwood, and patchouli,  fresh citrus, melons, peaches, and plums.

Top Newer Release

Aura EDT– This is another interesting fragrance from Mugler, that won’t have universal appeal, but is still a really good scent. There is an EDT and EDP version. I actually liked the EDT version better for a long while, but testing out the EDP again for the site…I’ve come to prefer it.

Aura is not only unique but it performs very well, also. The EDP opens with orange blossom, a dewy forest aroma, and plenty of rhubarb. Yes, this one is different and surprisingly awesome.

It comes across as a bit minty, green fresh, with orange blossom and vanilla. It can fit in during a variety of seasons, and is one that is weird enough to stand apart. Aura EDP Review

A Top Goddess

Alien Goddess Intense– Ok, the Alien Goddess series has been a focus for Mugler over the past few years. To me, Goddess Intense still has the top spot out of the bunch.

I should say that it isn’t far and away better than the original or Supra Florale, in terms of how much I like each. So, preference is really going to play a role when choosing from these perfumes.

This one is heavier, with a bigger dose of vanilla to pair up top with a coconut note and a light spritzing of bergamot. The first two notes will be the main attractions with Goddess Intense, alongside, jasmine.

Vanilla, jasmine, and benzoin will be more of the tail end of the wear, as the coconut fades. Really good performance and a deeper version of the original. Alien Goddess Intense review

Pina ColAngel

Angel Phantasm– This is a warm and beachy version of the familiar Angel DNA. What did Mugler add? A helping of coconut, that is especially prevalent early on in the mix.

The effect is that Phantasm puts out the energy of tanning on the shore while sipping a pina colada. Yet, it still does have the patchouli note which becomes more prominent in the dry down.

Also, joining is a light pineapple note in the early stages and a tiare flower in the mid, to help further sell the tropical kind of vibe. Still, it’s actually kind of dark with how it presents at times. Maybe that’s representing the black bottle? Nice performance.

 

Summertime Wear

Angel Sunessence by Thierry Mugler Light Eau-de-toilette Spray for Women, 1.70-Ounce– A bright and sweet smelling fruity patchouli perfume, which settles down beautifully, with a bit of time. Bergamot and red berries give, this Angel a different and less intense feel than the original.

It can start out somewhat tart, but it doesn’t ever have a super heavy sillage to it. There is a great honey note and blackberry, which begins to emerge later in the dry down. Still, a great performance, just not as loud as Angel.

angel sunessence

Most Unique Mugler

Womanity by Thierry Mugler for Women, Eau de Parfum Refillable Spray, 2.7 Ounce– A wholly feminine and utterly unique fragrance from Thierry Mugler. Womanity has its sweet and woodsy moments which creates something almost unforgettable. 

You probably gotta love fig, to truly appreciate this one, because it is full of the stuff from wood to fruit.

Beyond that, is a salty caviar note…which yeah, I said this one was unique. It is another strong scent from Mugler, however, this one, is going to be much more niche in terms of how many folks will enjoy it. 

Fresh with a woody, marine dry down. Very hit or miss with people, but I appreciate the brand taking chances and putting this on the market.

womanity

 

 

Light and Sweet

Thierry Mugler Angel Innocent Eau de Parfum Spray, 2.6 Ounce– Subtle, light, and airy. This perfume lives up to the Innocent moniker with notes of pure mandarin, honey,  almond, exotic fruits,  rich musk, and amber.

It’s citrus notes lead the top, but is flanked by berries, and a semi-tart black currant. It’s sweet and nutty and an overall beautiful wear. 

Kind of a departure for Mugler, when they are known for bold scents. Innocent takes the opposite tact and does it well. I think that this has been discontinued, but bottles are still around online.

angel innocent

The Explosive Angel

Angel Nova– I’m adding Nova to the list after trying it in 2021. Now, from the jump, it’s probably not a fragrance that everyone will enjoy. 

The raspberry and litchi notes are juicy and bold. To my nose, it also seemed like there was mango in the mix as well. Up top, it is all about these juicy fruit notes. However, it will get drier, floral, and a bit spicy.

The Damask rose is the leader in the final stages. The tropical aroma is nearly gone and Nova has an earthy quality to it. Rose, benzoin, and a earthy/dirtiness. I really dug it. Angel Nova Review

Fun, Tropical Option

Angel Iced Star– Angel Iced Star isn’t a super complicated fragrance, but it is one that is enjoyable, with a somewhat pina colada-like aroma. The pineapple note is the lead here, but there is also a good deal of coconut in the mix.

Then, there is the patchouli and vanilla notes, giving this one a full sweet and tropical gourmand profile. It’s delicious and a really nice option for standing out in the warmer months.

The pineapple kicks things off with a great juiciness, before it is more evenly split with the vanilla and coconut. This is just a fun and youthful sort of perfume, not serious or anything at all formal.

7 Best Paris Hilton Perfumes

by

There has been plenty of things which have been said or written about Paris Hilton either good, bad, or down right ugly. One thing that should be said and admitted is that she isn’t as dumb as she’s played up on TV in the past and she has kind of quietly amassed a very strong brand over the past 10 years.

Her fragrance line for both men and women have been a resounding success by any metric and despite the public perception of her personally, her fragrances are actually very well made. I have put together this list of what I consider to be the top 7 best perfumes by Paris Hilton.

Favorite Paris Hilton Perfumes

The pace of the releases has slowed greatly over the years, but she is still releasing new scents now and then. Usually, the newer ones do start out at a higher price point before being available at discounters.

Popular Choice

Just Me Paris Hilton By Paris Hilton For Women. Eau De Parfum Spray 3.4 Ounces– Very clean and light scent with floral and vanilla notes. Just Me has a feminine charm and elegance that will draw plenty of positive attention.

While it does have that vanilla and even raspberry notes, it isn’t a very sweet fragrance for the most part. Pink pepper gives you a warm spice, with further sandalwood, and other woody ingredients during the dry down.

Plus, a prominent rose, leading the floral end of things. The wood is at the heart and supports the raspberry top note, before the floral notes take over that role. Just Me Review

Top Winter Fragrance

Paris Hilton Can Can Eau De Parfum Spray 3.40 oz– Can Can is a perfume that is really fun and has a highly attractive quality to it. Great for a night out. The nectarine note is wrapped in a warm amber embrace and joined by other sweet fruit notes.

It takes on a sugary sort of aroma when all paired with the musk and floral notes. Can Can plays that role of a engaging perfume on colder nights of the year.

The opening does have a somewhat tart aroma, but thereafter, it does get sweeter and the amber increases in strength. When that takes place, it has an almost cotton candy sort of aroma.

Notes include: cassis, clementine flower, wild orchid, nectarine, musk, orange blossom, woods, amber.

Best New Paris Perfume

Ruby Rush– This was brand spanking new for 2022, but Ruby Rush immediately ranked among the best from Paris.

This is more expensive than the others, at least initially, so she may be doing a KKW-like rebranding. Iconic was released in 2025, but this one is still better, if you can find it around.

Anyway, cherry is the star here. More like a sweet and syrupy sort. Not to the same extent as something like Lost Cherry, but it is sweet and fairly tart. This is joined by whipped cream and vanilla. So, basically a creamy cherry perfume.

Underneath that, is light floral notes and musk. Hibiscus and lily are the flowers here. Though, I didn’t find them to be ever really gaining that much of a foothold.

Underrated Scent

Tease By Paris Hilton Eau De Parfum Spray, 3.4-Ounce– Tease is an energetic and flirty fragrance that is a really great find for the price.

I really like the notes of this one and indeed all of these perfumes from Paris Hilton, they really do have unique qualities from most other fragrances and maintain simplicity.

It opens up with apple, peach, and bergamot which gives Tease a nice crisp top. Then, those notes fade, and the tuberose and jasmine notes take over.

It’s a white floral with fruity undertones and a nice sandy beach vibe going on. Notes include: Apples, Peaches, Bergamot, White Flowers, Amber And Hot Sand.

Creamy Floral 

Electrify by Paris Hilton– Electrify is another fragrance that has been released by Paris, over the past few years. This one takes a group of floral notes, led by magnolia, and pairs them up with vanilla and a bit of coconut.

But, before all of that we get a juicy fruit opening with some apple, orange, and a somewhat tropical vibe between the coconut and cyclamen.

Magnolia will be the star, but peony and rose also make an appearance. To me, the rose is pretty light and doesn’t make much of an impact. A very nice and sweet fruity floral scent, with a creamy dry down.

Light Floral Perfume

Fairy Dust by Paris Hilton for Women – 3.4 Ounce EDP Spray– A well-balanced, sweet perfume with light and airy qualities which seem to match the fragrances name. Blend of floral and fruit notes including: orange blossom, peach nectar, vanilla cream, and pink peony.

The orange blossom and peach nectar are noticeable up top and have an appealing aroma, that is surrounded by the other floral ingredients. As it moves along, Fairy Dust takes on more of a powdery quality, but not baby powder level.

Towards the middle of the wear, gardenia and peony seem to take hold, and this is a close to full-on floral scent.

Best Summer Perfume

Heiress by Paris Hilton for Women – 3.4 Ounce EDP Spray– Heiress is a light and fresh perfume full of fruity notes which help it to shine. The name is obviously a play on her life and fame but is a surprisingly wonderful fragrance.

It opens up with a blast of citrus and passion fruit, with a bubbly champagne note, from the opening act. It is a candy-like sweet fragrance, with some lighter clean floral notes, that come through during the middle part of the wear.

It’s not a powerful fragrance overall, but it does hold up well enough.

Notes include: Passion Fruit, Orange, Peach Granita, Vetiver, Tiare, Tonka Bean, Mimosa, Champagne, Honeysuckle, Jasmine, Dewberry, Ylang, Grenadine, Blonde Woods, Violet.
