Best Luxury Perfumes For Her 2025

While luxury perfumes can be pricey, they turn heads—in the right way—with a single spritz, and they're wearable and tend to be long-lasting. "This season is perfect for lovers of rose scents in all its expected and unexpected forms, mixing beautifully and harmoniously with woody, spicy and leathery notes to create unique dimensions of rose," says Linda G. Levy, president of The Fragrance Foundation. From the subtly sultry to the quietly commanding, here is our curated list of the best luxury perfumes for her in 2025.

While oud is often viewed as a masculine fragrance note, the Tom Ford Oud Voyager is a fitting—and refreshingly unanticipated—choice for women. "This is for the adventurer who wants to experiment with the moodier, more earthy oud notes but balanced with fantastic florals of peony and geranium," says Levy. Characterized by both brightness and depth, this is an excellent scent for its complexity.

"This is for someone who loves the unexpected mix of a rose with patchouli," says Levy, of this popular fragrance in its 15 th anniversary this year. Created by Frédéric Malle and perfumer Dominique Ropion, Portrait Of A Lady is an elegant, elevated interpretation of classic rose. With key notes of Turkish rose, combined with earthy, spicy notes of sandalwood, patchouli and incense, rounded out by fruity blackcurrant and raspberry, this is a paradoxical scent. Case in point: It's reportedly worn by celebrities including Madonna, both Victoria and David Beckham and French actress Catherine Deneuve.

Krigler's scents have been worn by everyone from celebrities to royals—Chateau Krigler was a favorite of Grace Kelly's. This refreshingly light fragrance is the opposite of in-your-face; instead, it's understated, elegant and classic. With notes of lily of the valley, mimosa, rose, violet and white musk, this is a scent that's disarmingly discreet, but also addictive, making it a great choice for every day. Another one of our favorite Krigler fragrances is Pleasure Gardenia 79 .
