Thread: Uplifting Perfumes |
We all have moments of sadness. Sometimes the world becomes too cruel a place, sometimes people are mean, and you can't avoid feeling frustrated. But there are perfumes that have the magic quality of lifting your spirits. These perfumes remind you that there is beauty in the world.
If I had to choose only two perfumes with this quality, I would pick Acqua di Parma cologne, and Eau D'Hadrien. I think that these fragrances truly express happiness. They make me feel good.
Which fragrances do you pick when you need to boost your morale?

Florals get me happy. Tubereuse by L'Artisan is a good tonic for me.
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, and sorry I could not travel both and be one traveler, long I stood and looked down one as far as I could to where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, ...... I shall be telling this with a sigh somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -- I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference. - Robert Frost
Acqua di Parma Colonia: Both are great but this classic always puts a smile on my face!
My choice might actually anger others, but I find A*Men to be rather uplifting, particularly during the very snowy winter we had here.
AdP Colonia, Neroli Sauvage, and SMN Colonia Russa raise the spirits as well. There's something about a sparkling citrus that always puts a smile on my face.
You are not your perfume.

The moment I read the title of the thread, I was thinking AdP Colonia as well!!
There's nothing like a good spray of AdP Colonia after a good shower.
The Dreamer, Opium Eau d' Orient, Egoiste.
keepin' it musky
2nd choice: Friends Moschino/for an uplifting "orange-y" burst.
1st choice: Monsieur Balmain. Impossible to be in a "funk" when I smell this. Makes me do the "happy dance."
Eau d'Orange Verte will never fail to pick me up - its zingy and zestful nature awakens the senses that may have been clouded by depression or excessive alcohol consumption!
Also, Carthusia Uomo is a blast of fragrant accords that literally blossom on the skin. A perfect pic-me-up from the Mediterranean Isles![]()

Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder.
My Antaeus can beat up your Armani.
Guerlain's Herba Fresca. This is the brightest, most cheerful (cheering) fragrance. It's perfect for those grey overcast skies when the clouds seem so low that you instinctively duck your head.
1 st - Davidof Cool Water - because of good memories associated with the period in my life I used it
2 nd - Yohji Yamamoto Pour Homme (2004 edition).

Scents with prominent mint notes are very uplifting to me.
When I apply Series 5 Sherbet: Peppermint by Comme des Garcons, my skin even tingles a little, it's so minty.
Mike, did you ever manage to sample S.T Dupont Noir?
There's a nice shot of spearmint in the initial opening, which then subsides into a glowing ember of spice and woods.

noir..oh wow...silky smooth black satiin...
uplifting fragrances for me would be...eau de cartier concentree, luciano soprani - Uomo, Moschino - uomo....pretty boring ha...
For me it's Mugler Cologne during the summertime (which is quite long in South Carolina!) and Ambre Sultan during the winter (which is, strangely, also very long to a South Carolinian!
)

I love anything 'fresh' I know that sounds generic, but stuff that's very cirtusey or aquatic makes me happy! One that instantly comes to mind, is Vetiver Babylone by Armani Prive. The Bergamot and Citrus blend perfectly with the earthy patchouli to make something naturally refreshing![]()
