Someone did a post about their top 5 scents and I liked the focus on one's perfume capsule wardrobe. In no particular order, here are my favorites: 

Ralph Lauren Blue EDT - I've loved this for over 20 years. I got a bottle on impulse when it was newly released and I'm glad I did. I don't wear perfume to get complimented but this one gets me the most, which is funny because I also feel like it suits me perfectly. Blue is a delicate white floral (gardenia, lotus flower) that makes me feel beautiful from first spray for hours. 

Bvlgari Eau Parfumée au Thé Blanc EDC - Ever want to smell like an expensive hotel or spa? Because this is it. The Blanc is an elegant white tea-inspired scent that exudes tranquility and luxe. Another one from the same line, The Vert, is green tea-inspired and just as timelessly lovely. 

Marc Jacobs Daisy EDT - This one is popular for a reason. Wearing it is like landing in a splash of petals and sunlight. Daisy smells cheerful, pretty, and lively. Like I'm ready to start the day and tackle my long to-do list and look and feel fabulous while at it. 

Lanvin Éclat d'Arpège EDP - I bought this without knowing what it smells like because of a post from someone looking for the perfume of his late wife (I teared up a bit and I hope the OP found comfort in finding the perfume). I read the notes but somehow still expected it to smell like a heavier floral. Maybe it was the impression from the purple color? I was pleasantly surprised to find that it's an airy blend of florals that's very fresh and light. Pure positive energy in a girly bottle. If there's a perfume that could suit everyone, I'm convinced that this is it. It's now one of my staples and I'm on my second bottle (my sister asked me for my first).

Scent From Above EDT - Last but not the least is a perfume from Dolly Parton. I recently wrote a review of her fragrances (see here) and Scent From Above has become a favorite. The initial flash of berry note fades into the prettiest sweet floral and I love it even more now than when I first tried it. It's a perfect spring/summer scent although I'd wear this any day of the year for a quick serotonin boost.
