As a fragrance-enthusiast editor, I suggest these 15 Nordstrom perfumes to anyone willing to hear my recommendations.

      I am a collector of perfumes, much like others collect keychains, postcards, or various small souvenirs. I am drawn to the stylish glass bottles and the rich, amber liquid they hold. Each fragrance brings back memories of different times, places, and individuals. Most importantly, I revel in the excitement of finding a new signature scent that I know will accompany me for years. Thus, it's no surprise that I feel strongly about the perfumes I endorse. I often find myself returning to the same favorites, recommending them repeatedly to anyone willing to listen. Interestingly, all of them can be found at Nordstrom. Below, you'll find 17 of my go-to perfumes. (Some are currently on sale.)

      Chloé

      L'Eau de Parfum Intense Set

      Notes: Rose, strawberry, ambery woods, cashmeran, cedar.

      I have adored Chloé perfumes for as long as I can remember. My mother wore the iconic eau de toilette from 1975 during my childhood, and I have associated Chloé fragrances with elegance ever since. The new L'Eau de Parfum Intense epitomizes "quiet luxury." It combines a modern mix of fresh (not powdery) rose, strawberry, and amber woods, resulting in a soft, enchanting, and expensive scent. The entire Who What Wear beauty team endorses it, which is why we believe this three-piece kit might sell out during Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale. It includes a full-size bottle of Chloé's L'Eau de Parfum Intense, as well as a travel-size bottle and a body lotion.

      Leila Lou Eau de Parfum

      Notes: Pear, jasmine, freshly cut grass.

      Pear is an often overlooked fragrance note. It is fresh, fruity, and slightly aquatic, and it truly shines in this scent, combined with jasmine and freshly cut grass. To me, this fragrance is light, fresh, and airy, embodying the carefree essence of a summer day and the comfort of my favorite, well-worn jeans.

      Diptyque

      Ilio Eau de Toilette

      Notes: Prickly pear, bergamot, jasmine, iris.

      Inspired by the sun-kissed Mediterranean Sea, Ilio, which translates to "sun" in Greek, is a premium summer fragrance. With notes of prickly pear, bergamot, and jasmine, it is a fruity-floral scent that transports me to a cliff overlooking the sea at sunset. I can nearly hear the waves crashing and feel the warm sun on my skin while gazing at the shimmering water stretching for miles.

      Diptyque

      L'Eau Papier Eau de Toilette

      Notes: White musk, steamed rice, mimosa, blonde woods.

      Another favorite from the esteemed Diptyque, L'Eau Papier Eau de Toilette features notes of white musk, steamed rice, mimosa, and blonde woods, drawing inspiration from blank paper. It’s a scent that whispers rather than shouts, exuding a light and fresh aroma reminiscent of freshly laundered clothes or skin after a shower. It sparks creativity, imagination, and unguarded expression—it's pure potential in a bottle.

      TOCCA

      Giulietta Eau de Parfum

      Notes: Bulgarian rose, ylang-ylang, green apple, pink tulips, lily of the valley, iris pallida, vanilla orchid, lilac, heliotrope, cedarwood, musk, amber, sandalwood.

      Inspired by the Mediterranean island of Corsica, this fragrance can only be described as delicate. Floral notes like Bulgarian rose, ylang-ylang, tulips, lily of the valley, and lilac create a distinctly floral scent enhanced by a touch of crisp green apple. It feels soft, fresh, and whimsical—the ideal fragrance for those who love traditionally feminine scents.

      TOM FORD

      Café Rose Eau de Parfum & Travel Spray Gift Set

      Notes: Turkish rose, dark coffee, ylang-ylang, coriander, patchouli, cardamom, incense resin, sandalwood.

      Imagine entering a coffee shop filled with fresh flowers. The rich aroma of espresso beans mingles with the scent of roses and deliciously spiced baked goods. This is the essence of Tom Ford's Café Rose Eau de Parfum. With notes of Turkish rose, dark coffee, and incense resin, it’s moody, cozy, and luxurious—sure to please, much like a warm cappuccino.

      Le Labo

      Thé Matcha 26 Eau de Parfum

      Notes: Fig, bergamot, bitter orange, sesame, cedarwood, vetiver, matcha tea accord.

      If you prefer matcha to coffee, you'll appreciate this fragrance from Le Labo. Fresh and green with a calming quality, it complements rather than overpowers the wearer, enhancing their natural scent. It's subtle and sophisticated, ideal for those who embrace minimalism in fragrances.
