Since it’s a single note fragrance, don’t be afraid to mix it up with some of your other perfume to create an even more complex scent!

2. Zara Femme

Although Zara is best known as a fast fashion chain selling fashionable yet trendy workwear, they offer equally chic fragrances at a fraction of the cost of most bottles out there. Femme starts off fresh to the nose with notes of bergamot and peony, and eventually dries down to the warm and creamy base notes of vanilla and musk, as well as bitter patchouli for an elegant touch.

Retails at Zara stores.

3. BVLGARI Petit et Mamans

Baby Powder Perfumes Bvlgari

Designed especially for both children and mothers with kid-safe ingredients, the warm and soft fragrance will transport you back to carefree moments with the classic notes of chamomile and talc, with added freshness from the Sicilian bergamot and sunny oranges. Housed in an adorable bottle with bright yellows and oranges with cute animal doodles all over it, don’t be afraid to steal some from your children’s dresser occasionally!

Get yours from iShopChangi at SGD116.
