In celebration of International Women’s Day (mark 8th March in your calendars!), we’re embracing femininity in the fragrance world, in all its forms – from the bold to the quietly confident. As chosen by The Perfume Shop, here’s a list of our go-to empowering fragrances to add to your collection this women’s day.
Whether you’re looking for a confident perfume that is boldness in a bottle, or uplifting notes to put a pep in your step, our pros have curated the scents that ignite action.
Perfumes to Empower
Good Girl Blush by Carolina Herrera
First up for this year’s International Women’s Day, Good Girl Blush by Carolina Herrera. Taking their iconicGood Girl scent to new romantic heights, it throws together fancy florals to dramatic effect. A peony heart note, made up of exotic ylang ylang and upcycled rosewater draws on softness, while the vanilla base adds the sultry tone synonymous with the OG. The play on contrasts makes it a scent to match any mood.
If you’re looking for a powerful and uniquely feminine fragrance that perfectly embodies the spirit of International Women’s Day, we’ve found the one for you! An irresistibly potent combination of honeyed peach and freesia melt into warm heart notes of osmanthus flower, evolving into delectable cocoa at the base. Boss The Scent is a mysteriously seductive aroma, and leaves an empowering trail with every spritz.
Bold. Smoldering. Unapologetic. If you like your scents with a side of sass, then Libre Intense by Yves Saint Laurent hits all the right notes. A continuation of the Libre family (named after the French word for ‘free’), this confident perfume dials up the drama with sensual aromatic lavender, sensual orange blossom, and woody-amber base. Coupled with a campaign headed by singing sensation (and our girl crush!) Dua Lipa, it’s a scent that detonates a whole mood with every spritz.
As captivating as the woman who spritzes it. Boss The Scent Elixir is the highly concentrated version of Boss The Scent Eau de Parfum – just as addictive but with an extra punch of powerful aromas. Enjoy a flourish of pink peppercorn with vibrant floral notes of Atropa belladonna. Live like a boss this International Women’s Day with this ambery, woody elixir that entices the senses with a hint of excitement and mystery.
Empowering fragrances are powerful because they make you fall in love with… yourself. If there was ever a scent to capture that feeling of self-love, it’s Love Story by Chloe. A fresh and floral affair, which playfully blends neroli, orange blossom and jasmine – the kind of fragrance that can lift spirits and get you adding some self love and me-time to your daily routine. Think pure happiness in a bottle that you’ll reach for whenever you need a restorative mood reset.
This scent truly deserves your attention. The uplifting La Vie Est Belle was revised over 5,500 times before being deemed good enough to release to the word! Was it worth it? Of course it was! The beautiful blend of precious orange blossom, jasmine, patchouli, vanilla and praline is simply divine.
Inspired by happiness, freedom and elegance the name translates to ‘Life is Beautiful’ – a feeling we’d wish for every woman around the world as they celebrate International Women’s Day.
Ready to cause a scene? If you’re the drama, then Tom Ford’s Black Orchid is your partner in crime. The kind of scent that makes people stop and pay attention, it’s no wallflower. Instead, it takes floral notes you know and love (like jasmine and orchid) to the bold side thanks to heady musk, spice, and incense. It’s no wonder it’s loved by men and women alike!
Live like a boss this International Women’s Day with the Boss The Scent collection! As well as the intoxicating Boss fragrances featured in this blog, you can also treat yourself to Boss The Scent Magnetic – for the magnetic woman who owns the room no matter where she goes. Or perhaps the floral woody aroma of Boss The Scent Le Parfum will ignite your senses? …

A self-proclaimed fragrance addict (her ‘open’ collection is at 14 bottles, but who’s counting?), it’s no wonder she loves penning pieces on our newest releases and trending notes. Her signature scent? Elle by Yves Saint Laurent.
