Calvin Klein Euphoria is an eau de parfum for women, which Calvin Klein describes as a captivating oriental fragrance. The brand summarizes it in three words: mysterious, provocative, enticing. You can find it in a 50 or 100 ml bottle.

What it smells like

The notes do not appear all at once. The first ones are felt immediately, the last ones stay the longest on the skin:

• Top notes: rhubarb, kiwi and a lush greenness.
• Heart notes: lotus flower, champaca flower and black orchid.
• Base notes: liquid amber, black violet, cream and mahogany wood.

The main character is the black orchid. Calvin Klein says that the fragrance contrasts exotic fruits, seductive flowers and a rich, creamy signature.

How to apply it

1. Spray on clean skin, after an unscented body cream.
2. Choose the wrists, neck and décolletage.
3. Hold the bottle a few inches away from the skin, not touching it.
4. Do not rub the wrists. Let the fruit notes evaporate at their own pace.
5. Start with one or two sprays, as it is a rich eau de parfum.

What else you might need

• Calvin Klein Eternity Moment, eau de parfum
• Calvin Klein CK IN2U Her, eau de toilette
• Calvin Klein CK One, unisex eau de toilette

ProBeauty tip. Euphoria changes a lot from the opening rhubarb to the creamy base. Wear it on your skin for a few hours before deciding if it suits you.

Ajmal Shadow II for Her is a floral, woody, and musky eau de parfum for women in a 75 ml bottle. Ajmal says it opens with a voluptuous floral and settles slowly on a warm, woody base. The box only says “shadow,” while the house also calls it Shadow for Her.

What it smells like

• Top notes: rosewood, lavender, and nectarine, for a fresh floral opening.
• Heart notes: patchouli and orchid, which give the fragrance its woody touch.
• Base notes: white musk and white amber, warm and subtle.

The top notes are the most volatile and are only noticeable at the beginning. The heart defines the fragrance, while the base is what remains on the skin at the end. In Shadow II for Her, the transition is from fresh flowers to a musky, ambery background.

How to apply it

1. Apply it after a shower, to clean, well-moisturized skin.
2. Spray it on your wrists, neck, and décolletage, where the skin is warmer.
3. Hold the sprayer slightly further from the skin so that the fragrance falls like a fine mist.
4. Do not rub: rubbing speeds up the evaporation of the initial floral notes.
5. Start with a single spray. Only add a second one after the fragrance has settled on the skin.

Specifications

What else you might need

• Ajmal Shadow II for Him, the masculine counterpart
• Ajmal Shadow Ice, the unisex version
• Ajmal Shadow Noir, from the same line
• Ajmal Aristocrat for Women, floral and woody

ProBeauty tip. Do not confuse it with Shadow for Him or Shadow II for Him: they only share the line name and the bottle with the transparent collar. If you want a Shadow that you can both wear, choose Shadow Ice, the unisex version.

Ajmal Senora is a floral, aromatic, and amber fragrance for women, with a spicy note. Ajmal describes it as an oriental-floral fragrance for women who want to stand out. It comes in a 75 ml bottle.

What it smells like

• Top notes: violet, pepper, and labdanum, a warm resin with a hint of leather.
• Heart notes: rose, patchouli, and orange blossom.
• Base notes: musk, vanilla, benzoin, and amber.

The opening, with pepper, is the liveliest part and comes first. The floral heart, with rose, follows. Finally, the warm base of musk, vanilla, and amber remains, giving the fragrance depth.

When to wear it

Ajmal recommends it for cooler seasons and for evening wear.

How to apply it

1. Apply to clean skin after an unscented body cream.
2. Spray on the wrists and neck, under the hair.
3. Hold the bottle about a hand's length away for an even mist.
4. Do not rub: let the pepper settle on its own.
5. In the evening, you can add a spray to wool or cotton clothing, but never to silk.

• Ajmal Aurum, Eau de Parfum for women, 75 ml

ProBeauty tip. Senora has pepper and labdanum in the opening, so the first few minutes may seem intense. Give it time: the rose and the musk and vanilla base only emerge after the spice settles.

Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal is an eau de parfum for women. The brand says it embodies Jean Paul Gaultier femininity: an elegant, cheerful, and sexy Parisian woman with a rebellious side. You can find it in a 30 ml or 80 ml bottle.

What it smells like

Jean Paul Gaultier names three key ingredients without breaking them down into top, heart, and base notes:

• Main notes: gardenia, patchouli, and honey.

Sensual gardenia meets bold patchouli. Then everything is enveloped in a velvety, gourmand honey. On the French website, the brand describes it as a gardenia with a honeyed sensuality.

It is a sweet and intense fragrance. If you prefer fresh and light floral scents, test it before buying the large bottle.

How to apply it

1. Apply it to clean, well-moisturized skin.
2. Spray it on your wrists and in the hollow of your neck.
3. Hold the bottle at a distance so the honey doesn't concentrate in one spot.
4. Let the fragrance dry on your skin without rubbing.
5. Start with a little: eau de parfum is concentrated, and the honey is noticeable from up close.

Specifications

What else you might need

• Jean Paul Gaultier Classique, eau de toilette 50 ml
• Carolina Herrera Good Girl, eau de parfum 80 ml
• Carolina Herrera Very Good Girl, eau de parfum 80 ml

ProBeauty tip. If you haven't worn a fragrance with honey before, test Scandal on your skin before buying it. Honey and patchouli smell different on everyone's skin, and one day of wearing it will tell you if it's right for you.

Prada La Femme L'Eau (La Femme Prada L'Eau) is an eau de toilette for women, a fresh version of the La Femme Prada line. Prada describes it as a deeply feminine fragrance with the youthful freshness of frangipani. The bottle contains 100 ml.

What it smells like

Prada does not divide the notes into layers, but lists them as follows:

• Main notes: frangipani, tangerine essence, ylang-ylang and tuberose.

In the brand's description, frangipani is enriched by tangerine and softened by ylang-ylang. Tuberose completes the bouquet, which Prada calls ethereal, while tangerine makes it even fresher. It is a luminous floral, lighter than La Femme Intense.

How to apply it

1. Spray onto clean skin, optionally after an unscented body lotion.
2. Aim for the neck, wrists and collarbone.
3. Spray from a distance, like a fine mist falling on the skin.
4. Do not spread it with your fingers: let it evaporate on its own.
5. As it is an eau de toilette, you can reapply with another spray later in the day.

Specifications

What else you might need

• Prada La Femme Intense, eau de parfum
• Prada La Femme Water Splash, 150 ml
• Prada Candy, ambered and gourmand

ProBeauty tip. La Femme L'Eau is a good first Prada fragrance if you like white flowers but want them light. Keep the golden bottle in the dark, in its box: it looks good on the shelf, but light damages the fragrance.

Prada Candy is an amber and gourmand eau de parfum for women, the one that gives its name to the Prada Candy collection. Prada describes it as a playful and sophisticated fragrance, sweet and built around benzoin, white musk, and caramel. It comes in a 50 ml bottle.

What it smells like

Prada describes the fragrance as a three-step journey:

• Top notes: silky white musk.
• Heart notes: a generous dose of benzoin, a warm resin.
• Base notes: a sweet accord of caramel and vanilla.

Benzoin is the star: Prada describes it as a warm, sweet, and balsamic resin, with hints of vanilla honey. The result is an enveloping fragrance.

When to wear it

Prada recommends it for an evening date and for cooler evenings. Thanks to its warm notes, it is an autumn and winter fragrance.

How to apply it

1. After showering, moisturize your skin well, then apply the fragrance.
2. Spray on your pulse points: wrists, neck, and the inside of your elbows.
3. Hold the bottle slightly further away from your skin so the fragrance lands gently.
4. Do not rub your wrists together, especially with a sweet fragrance like this one.
5. A small dose is enough for such a warm fragrance.

Specifications

What else you might need

The fragrance unfolds in three stages, from the first few seconds to the trail that remains on the skin:

• Top notes: coffee.
• Heart notes: sambac jasmine and orange blossom, the white flowers of the composition.

YSL bets on the contrast between the bitterness of the coffee beans and the femininity of the white flowers, rounded by vanilla. The result is a sweet and warm fragrance that is easy to recognize.
