12 luxury perfumes with sweet floral notes

Floral fragrances that will move with you from day to night

Often associated with elegance and romance,  floral notes contribute significantly to a perfume’s bouquet, adding a range of scents from fresh and delicate to rich and opulent. 

For instance, light and airy notes like lily of the valley and peony bring a sense of freshness, while the more intense and heady tuberose and ylang-ylang add an exotic touch. Meanwhile roses lend a classic and timeless aroma that can vary from soft to intense. 

When skillfully blended with other fragrance families, they can create enticing formulas, adding freshness or sweetness. For instance, combining floral notes with woody accords can produce a refined, sensual fragrance, while pairing them with citrusy top notes results in a bright and refreshing scent. Let’s take a look at some of our favourite floral luxury perfumes:
