We asked our Nykaa staffers what they would never leave their house without, and they answered — a spritz of their favourite perfume. We can all agree that your perfume is an extension of your personality. From spicy to sweet and modern to classic — there are a plethora of scents in the fragrance world. What’s more, a fragrance is entirely subjective — what smells great to you might be deadly annoying to another and vice versa. While some of us might be fragrance loyalists others might match their fragrance to their mood. Despite the various scent tastes, there are a few winners that always make it to the “most-loved” list. Read on to find out which scents our Nykaa staffers are loving and cannot live without.

The scent in three words: “Floral, feminine, musky”
“Introduced to me by my best friend, this is a fragrance that I cannot live without. Everyone from my friends to my family (even my beagle) knows how obsessed I am with this perfume. Why do I love it? Because it’s got a very confident, powerful, yet feminine scent. And, every time I wear it, someone’s always coming up to me asking what perfume I’m wearing! I love this so much that I think I might wear it till I’m 80!”

The scent in three words: “Sensual, captivating, magnetic”
“Every morning as I'm scrambling to get my things together to leave for work, I stop for a second to appreciate the enchanting fragrance of this perfume. And might I say, I was planning on saving this scent for special evenings, but I’ve ended up using it everyday - thanks to its irresistible fragrance. It just adds that extra layer of freshness to my day; wearing this perfume feels like taking a walk in a lavender field. The note hits the right spot, so much so, that you'll feel like it's specially designed just for you!”

Loves: Lancome La Vie Est Belle Eau De Perfume
Rating: 4.5/5
The scent in three words: “Light, sweet, refreshing”
“I absolutely love this Lancome fragrance and it totally matches my energy! The day it launched on Nykaa, I just had to get my hands on this much-awaited scent and know what the hype was all about. And safe to say, it lives up to its name. It’s perfect for this season, because of its refreshing and sweet scent. And the vanilla notes are a major bonus! The crystal smile on this bottle sure does put a smile on my face too, everyday.”

Loves: DIOR Miss Dior Eau De Parfum
Rating: 4.3/5
The scent in three words: “Velvety, fresh, floral”
“Floral fragrances are my thing. My favourite aunty introduced me to this scent when she gifted this gem to me on my 18th birthday. Ever since then, this has been my signature scent and I can’t stop re-purchasing this. It's floral and sweet! I usually save this fragrance for special occasions, or when I need a mood boost. Every time I wear this scent I have always been asked about it. This perfume may be on the pricier side but it sure is worth every penny. After spritzing, give it some time to settle in and wait for the magic to unfold.”

Loves: Carolina Herrera Good Girl Eau De Parfum
Rating: 4.5/5
The scent in three words: “Soft, warm, feminine.”
“Fragrance, divine. Packaging, supremely unique! I think part of the reason why this perfume fascinated me so much was the bottle. My search for a good perfume led me to this, and now I can’t stop obsessing over it! It's feminine yet bold, elegant and sophisticated. Not too intense, yet strong enough to make heads turn - it’s everything I love, and is one that helps me make a statement. I’m not the kind of person to wear perfume everyday, but when I do, it has got to be this. Oh, and it stays put for a very long time, so don’t worry about the fragrance fading in 2 hours.”
