Legendary French couturier Christian Dior once said, “Long after one has forgotten what a woman wore, the memory of her perfume lingers.” Decades later, his words still ring true. After all, nearly 1.7 million Americans spend over $500 per year in pursuit of “the one.” Sniffing out your signature scent can be overwhelming, but for the modern It Girl, fragrance isn’t just an accessory; it’s an identity. Whether you gravitate toward warm gourmand notes, soft florals, or something entirely unexpected, we’ve rounded up the perfumes every It Girl needs on her vanity — from timeless classics to fresh newcomers.
