Best Rose: Snif Rose Era Eau de Toilette
Why we love it: One of the best rose fragrances we’ve smelled—ever—Snif’s Rose Era are as attention-grabbing as the bottle, melding fruity notes of strawberry and pear with rose. The scent takes on a fresh facet with clean laundry accord, while ambrette seeds bring a musky warmth. Meanwhile, saffron and sandalwood introduce a woody spiciness.

Best Floral: Miss Dior Eau de Parfum
Why we love it: A classic scent both industry-wide and here at Allure—so much so that we consider it among the best perfumes for women—Dior’s Miss Dior Eau de Parfum smells like blooming flowers at first whiff. (But fancy flowers, like those bursting out of perfectly trimmed hedges in a chateau garden.) Tucked within its bouquet of lily of the valley, rose, and peony, wild strawberries add a berry-fresh spin to the whole garden fantasy. The perfume also has woody elements, with a dash of ambery wood woven in.
Notes: sparkling mandarin, lily of the valley, rose, peony, jasmine, wild strawberries | Available sizes: 1.7 oz, 3.4 oz, 5 oz
Best Fresh: Clean Classic Strawberry Fields Eau de Parfum
Why we love it: Clean Classic’s Strawberry Fields Eau de Parfum wraps wild strawberries in a sea of laundry-fresh notes. Laced with linen accord, the bright gourmand also has floral notes of jasmine petals and orchid blossom and a cozy dry-down of white amber and musk. It’s the kind of scent made to linger in the folds of a white sundress, or to perfume the air of a casual summer Sunday spent thumbing through a novel at the park. (Want to heighten the fresh-laundry feel of the scent? Try layering it with Clean Classic’s Warm Cotton. Inspired by sheets pulled freshly from the dryer, the scent will add touches of citrus and verbena to the strawberry perfume.)
Notes: wild strawberry, linen accord, jasmine petals, orchid blossom, white musk, amber | Available sizes: 1 oz, 2 oz
Best Gourmand: Burberry Burberry Her Elixir de Parfum
Why we love it: Considering its place on a dessert plate, strawberry is, ahem, ripe for gourmands. But this isn’t the syrup-y rendition you might be imagining (or fearing). The most intense fragrance in Burberry’s Her portfolio—and she wouldn’t have it any other way—Elixir de Parfum opens with dark-red berries and jasmine before settling into a musky, vanilla-laced base. Its bottle, which evokes a liquor flask in candy pink, mirrors the scent’s sweetly scandalous vibe.
