Editor’s Pick: 8 Luxury Perfumes That Will Make You Smell As Delicious As You Look This Diwali!
Want to smell like luxury this Diwali? We've got 8 perfumes that will serve the purpose!

Diwali is just around the corner and we’re all prepping to celebrate this festival of lights dressed in our best desi outfits and our heirloom jewellery or just the most trendy pieces of jewellery and accessories to look our best. But hold on, did you forget to invest in the perfect perfume to smell like the queen that you are? Fret not because your favourite Editor has picked out the best luxury perfumes so you can look, feel and smell fabulous this festive season. But always remember, every perfume smells different on different people after mixing with their own scent. So, before you buy that supremely expensive scent, I recommend you spritz some on yourself and walk around for a bit and then pick the one that suits you the most.
1. Smell Like Expensive Ice Cream
Okay, ISTG, I’m not the kind who likes the sickeningly sweet-smelling perfumes but this one is different. Kayali Yum Pistachio Gelato. With the most unique base notes of whipped cream, tonka beans, marshmallows, sandalwood and cedar, this perfume has middle notes of flowers and fruits and top notes of pistachio, ice cream, rum, hazelnut, bergamot and cardamom. Who thought these ingredients could create an iconic scent that could make one smell like our childhood dreams blended with a touch of adulthood spice? If sweet and spicy is your style, this perfume is the perfect pick for you.

2. Smell Bold And Unapologetic
Numerous compliments from people made me realise how much I love Yves Saint Laurent Libre. I love woody and musky scents but floral perfumes smell the best on me. That was the case until I came across YSL Libre. With the perfect blend of musk, cedar and vanilla in base notes and lavender and jasmine in heart notes along with top notes of lavender, black currant and mandarin orange, it’s just the perfume you need if you’re anything like me. But that’s not even the best thing about this perfume. The best thing is that even at the end of a long and tiring day, you might run into someone who’ll tell you that you smell amazing!

How about a floral fruity musk scent to make you smell magical? Miller Harris’ Myrica Muse is just what you need! With base notes of musk, amber, sandalwood and vanilla, this perfume comes with floral middle notes and top notes of barberry, pink pepper and strawberry. Imagine walking past someone and smelling like the perfect blend of musky, floral and fruity. This is just what you need to be the head-turner that you are. You can always head to Scentido to grab your scent.

4. Smell Like Femininity
Giorgio Armani Si comes with top notes of cassis with middle notes of may rose and freesia and base notes of vanilla, patchouli and woody notes. Not only does it make you smell more feminine but also smells refreshing as you bid adieu to body odour. And guess what? It keeps you smelling fresh all day (even if you cannot smell it yourself, I promise everyone else can). So, stop thinking and go get one for yourself.

Looking for a vegan perfume? Meet Burberry Goddess.

If you’re someone who wants to smell like her man (even when he’s around), Ralph Lauren Polo is just the perfume you need. Not that perfumes have gender but this one comes with base notes of patchouli, oakmoss; middle notes of leather accord, tobacco leaf and top notes of pine, thyme and basil. It screams desi men and gives you a more bold, long-lasting scent which is extremely soothing.
