By note

Floral is the largest family in women’s perfumery, and it covers a lot of ground: a single fresh flower, a big bouquet, powdery iris, creamy white flowers or flowers sweetened with fruit and vanilla.

These are the women’s and unisex floral fragrances in our catalog that last longest and suit the most occasions.

How we picked. We took every fragrance in our catalog for women or unisex in the floral family and ordered them by how long they last and how many occasions they cover. The list shows up to 10. Prices are typical US retail prices and may differ at checkout.
