$92, Dior
Monsieur Christian Dior may have launched his fashion empire’s first scent Miss Dior in 1947 for his sister Catherine, but the French luxury house’s cult favourite has since inspired a new rendition: Miss Dior Eau de Parfum, which is now adored by everyone. A romantic scent, this fragrance smells bright and citrusy when you first spray it on and then showcases sprinkles of heady jasmine and spicy patchouli. Chic and daring, the perfume is incredibly easy to wear as its notes waft up off your skin, feather light and unimposing. Tied with the perfume’s signature silver bow at the neck of the rectangular bottle, this scent feels like a gift every time it’s uncapped and spritzed on.
