The Best Wedding Day Fragrances Will Have Your Nose Saying ‘I Do’

• Fragrance Family: Woody/floral
• Concentration: Eau de parfum
• Motivation: Sophisticated

While some prefer to tie the knot in sunnier locations abroad, the majority still opt for a more traditional (all the bells and whistles) occasion. This fragrance, which leaves a deep and elegant trail, would be my first choice for a grandiose wedding. Created in 2009 by renowned perfumer Dominique Ropion, it is charming, sophisticated, and unapologetically bold; so it won’t get lost amongst the pomp and pageantry. Opening with a burst of basil, star anise, and a molecular-distilled mint absolute, it instantly sharpens the mind and helps you focus.

Then the rosy and slightly spicy notes of calming Chinese geranium kick in; shrouded in a cloud of cinnamon (extracted using CO2), clove and a popular bloom used for wedding bouquets, lily of the valley. Made with the finest quality, handpicked materials, it gradually melts into a sensual, warm, and enticing scent; with a dry-down of creamy sandalwood, white musk, resinous benzoin, and a smoky incense note that echoes the significance of the momentous occasion.
