Love at first spritz is how we would describe Tiffany & Co.’s Intense fragrance. A richer interpretation of the brand’s signature scent, this perfume packs bursts of iris, musk amber, and vert de mandarine. The citrus-spiked floral scent is soft and enveloping and is as sparkling as the jewelry brand’s diamonds.

One of Jo Malone’s most popular bridal scents, the Peony and Blush Suede is something we can’t get enough of.

This one is for the offbeat brides who love to break the mold. Smokey, musky, and leathery, this perfume is far from the typical scents you’d find, which makes it perfect for those who aren’t a fan of fruity and floral. Leaning towards the masculine side, a few spritzes of Santal 33 will no doubt have your groom drawn to its familiar notes. So expect a nuzzled neck through the day.
Black Opium by Yves Saint Laurent
