6 Wedding Day Fragrances That Will Suit Every Bride

Holy Peony is a gorgeous floral fragrance with a subtle edge. The Maison Christian Dior fragrance is special, thanks to the interwoven notes of rose and Lily of the Valley, accentuated by bright strawberry and raspberry. It’s also underpinned by a musky woodiness that stops it from veering towards cloying, and is perfect for the bride who wants to feel divinely feminine and strong on her wedding day.

When planning a wedding, there’s a tendency to stick to the classics, but it’s your big day, so making it your own is important. Chanel N°5 is a classic bridal fragrance, so why not sidestep tradition (just a little bit) with the limited edition N°5 L’eau, a fresher and more vibrant interpretation of the original? It has a vibrant woody and citrus signature, and it’s the latter that sets it apart from the scent that inspired it.

For lovers of slightly masculine scents, Luca Eau de Parfum from Troye Sivan’s label Tsu Lang Yor will tickle your senses in a very good way. The fragrance has been designed to complement your natural scent and combines bergamot, cedarwood, incense, and ambroxan for a savoury fragrance that’s undeniably sexy. It’s perfect for the modern or non-traditional bride, and for evening weddings.

Twenty years after the first Monsieur Saab’s Bridal collection, the House has released Le Parfum Bridal. A fragrance designed to be delicately feminine and evoke images of a silk-adorned woman on her wedding day, it captures the intense emotions of the big day. It’s a musky, woody, floral scent, opening with ylang-ylang and orange blossom notes, delicately enveloped by Madagascar vanilla and ambroxan.

If you’re looking for a fresh fragrance that isn’t floral, Jo Malone’s Wood Sage and Sea Salt deserves your attention. It’s a complex fragrance that is light and feminine but with a serious backbone. Thanks to ambrette seed, sea salt and sage as the primary notes, along with fresh grapefruit and red algae, it’s like a comforting summer date night in a bottle.

Glossier You was designed to smell different on everyone. The skin scent was created without a top note, which means it’s also been made to layer it with your favourite fragrances. It’s delightful on its own, with musky, peppery, and creamy notes freshened up by iris root. But it’s also a lovely idea to layer You with your favourite signature scent so you can smell like yourself on your big day, but slightly better. (Just be sure to test the combination ahead of time to ensure they work well together).
