@leasy_inparisWhen it comes to shopping for fragrance, I usually go straight to Sephora, Ulta, or Nordstrom. I absolutely love these stores as fragrance destinations, but I recently decided to browse through the fragrance section the last time I was at an Urban Outfitters store and was impressed with what I found. Not only are its fragrances fairly affordable, but they're also incredibly unique.
With brands that have sustainably sourced ingredients and packaging and perfumes that manage to smell like your favorite foods (but in a wearable way), Urban Outfitters is the place to go for distinctive fragrance right now. Keep reading for the best fragrances offered at Urban and why I love them.
Key notes: ambrette, violet, cashmere musk
Yes, this perfume is only $25, but it will make you smell expensive. It uses a winning scent combination—ambrette, musks, and florals—that higher-end fragrances are known for.
Key notes: bergamot, violet leaf, cardamom, fir needle, sandalwood, cashmere musk, amber, oudh
Who Is Elijah is having a moment. These vegan and cruelty-free fragrances are hybrid blends of natural and synthetic materials packaged up in sustainable vessels. This fragrance perfectly balances musky and floral notes for an ultra-wearable scent.
You can also try every Who Is Elijah fragrance and find your favorite.
Key notes: pink pepper, rosebud, cherry, saffron, tonka bean, cedar
These versatile fragrances are all about rejecting gender binaries and just focusing on what smells good. Intention blends together unexpected notes like cherry and saffron.
Key notes: black coconut, crisp amber, vanilla whiskey
Every perfume lover knows that perfume oil is the most intimate way to get acquainted with a scent. This oil is a scent for a gourmand lover thanks to coconut and whiskey weaving in with amber.
Key notes: mixed berries, pink cyclamen, vanilla sugar
If cotton candy is your favorite part of going to summer baseball games, this is the scent for you. It's sugary sweet but won't make you smell too cloying.
Key notes: cocoa blossom, pink musk, sandalwood
Consider this scent a wearable ice cream sundae. It's creamy and chocolatey, but the addition of musk and sandalwood keeps it grounded.
Key notes: violet fig, muguet musk, blonde wood
Don't let the name fool you—this fragrance isn't super spicy. Instead, delectable notes like fig are mixed together with musks and woods for a sophisticated take on fruit.
Key notes: cola accord, jasmine, cane sugar
The best part about this soda-centric fragrance is that it perfectly captures the nostalgia of drinking a cola in a drive-thru.
Key notes: orange blossom, lemon, clove, cinnamon, vanilla, amber
These hand-poured perfumes are made in small batches for guaranteed quality. Not only that, but the perfumes are hair and skin friendly thanks to a jojoba oil and vitamin E base.
Key notes: crispy apple, popcorn accord, whipped butter
Before smelling this unique scent, I don't think I ever would have thought that popcorn could successfully be infused into a fragrance. This buttery, delectable scent proves me wrong—and yes, it's wearable!
Key notes: rose water, lotus, musk
This subtle scent is fresh and bright. Rose water and lotus are incredibly refreshing, and musk grounds everything. Plus, the rose quartz in the bottle makes it the most gorgeous addition to any vanity.
Key notes: mandarin, bergamot, lemon, grapefruit, lily, neroli, rose, fig, cedar
A citrus-forward scent is the ticket to get your creative juices flowing. This one is balanced out by lush rose and woodsy cedar.
Key notes: labdanum, geranium, rose, cannabis, nutmeg, clove, olibanum, myrrh, vanilla, carnation, cedar, vetiver, patchouli, musk
This dreamy scent is unexpected in the best ways. One of its notes is cannabis, but don't worry—you won't smell like a dispensary. Smoky and spicy notes make this perfume mysterious and extremely versatile.
