I love designer fragrances, but most that I’ve been exposed to have been mainstream (as in, perfumes you’d find at Sephora, Macy’s, etc.). I have sampled some niche fragrances, such as Creed and Badgley Mischka, but they did not suit me. I would love to wear a niche white floral (roses, lily of the valley/muguet, jasmine) on my wedding day. Something special, but not so rare that I would have a hard time finding it, or an even harder time paying for it – like Shiseido White Rose.
Oh I just happen to love a nice floral 🙂 Have you tried these scents? I think they would make a great wedding fragrance:
Serge Lutens Un Lys
a very pretty creamy lily scent
Serge Lutens A La Nuit
sweet lush jasmine
Frederic Malle Lys Mediterranee
green, somewhat aquatic lily scent
Frederic Malle Carnal Flower
how I love this one. a very beautiful tuberose scent…green and lush
Diptyque Do Son
airy, light tuberose
You should definitely look into Private Collection Tuberose Gardenia by Estee Lauder.
This exquisite fragrance combines the rich essences of precious Tuberose and exotic Gardenia. It was originally created by Aerin Lauder for herself and her closest friends. The new fragrance features Neroli, Lilac, Rosewood, Middle Notes are Tuberose Nature Intact, Gardenia, Orangeflower Nature Intact, Jasmine, White Lily, Orangeflower& Base Notes, Carnation, Vanilla Bourbon.
This perfume opens sweet and bright, and seems to move rapidly from the mild touch of citrus in the opening into the white floral notes in the heart. The lilac softens the more exuberant floral notes in the early stages, but it is lush and full-bodied almost from the start, and it is almost linear after the first 20 minutes or so have passed. The tuberose and gardenia are the main players — you will catch glimpses of the other notes, especially the jasmine, but it starts out smelling like mostly tuberose and gardenia and hours later, it still does. The base is milky-creamy woods with a touch of vanilla, and is neither heady nor overly sweet.
It is simply beautiful and a great special occasion scent.
