These 5 Luxe Perfumes Will Evoke Your Inner Bad B*tch

I developed a deep appreciation for fragrance during my childhood, as I witnessed the women in my family radiate joy when they applied their preferred scent. In those moments, I realized the transformative power of perfume, capable of revealing one's hidden personality and turning one into a completely different person from one's daily self.

Wearing fragrance makes me feel my most attractive. I was most proud of myself during my undergrad days when I'd saved enough to buy Marc Jacobs infamous "Daisy" Eau du Parfum. The feeling it brought over me is still indescribable to this day. Yes, it felt good to wear an expensive perfume (Yes, anything under $100 was considered expensive back then.) but the entire essence of the notes made me feel like the baddest b*tch in America. From there, I became obsessed with higher-end perfumes, dabbling in scents from Coach, YSL Beauty and Tom Ford Beauty.

Fast forwarding to 2023, the girlies are obsessed with smelling sexy, luxe and rich. Whatever Hailey Bieber or Sofia Richie are wearing, the girls want in. While many of us don't have bank accounts nearly as robust as the "IT" girlies of today's world, we can smell like we're pretty close to it.
