Carrie Bradshaw’s must-have perfume range
We all know that Carrie Bradshaw — masterfully played by Sarah Jessica Parker — has a shoe collection to die for, so it makes sense that her perfume collection inspires the same reaction! Here are Carrie Bradshaw’s favorite fragrances.
1. Hermes Eau D’Orange Verte Eau De Cologne
Just like Carrie Bradshaw, Hermes Eau D’Orange Verte Eau De Cologne is iconic. The scent was launched in 1979 but reformulated in 2009 by master perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena. The bright green and fresh fragrance exudes Carrie Bradshaw-like charm with a blend of invigorating orange, fresh mint, alluring woods, and moss.
2. Jo Malone White Tie and Tiara Cologne
Jo Malone White Tie and Tiara Cologne is a limited edition Jo Malone perfume that was spotted in Carrie Bradshaw’s apartment. The unisex floral scent is elegant and unique, featuring top notes of bergamot, pineapple, and tangerine that slowly fuse into a floral heart of rose, jasmine, and orange blossom. The base gives the scent extra allure with notes of cedarwood and sandalwood.
3. Lancôme Trésor EDP
Lancôme Trésor EDP perfectly reflects the hopeless romantic side of Carrie Bradshaw’s personality. The scent showcases notes like peach, rose, apricot blossom, and lilac, blending into iris, jasmine vanilla, amber, and musk. This decadent and alluring fragrance is a must for any relationship columnist and makes the perfect scent for Carrie’s dates.
4. Christian Dior Addict EDP
Christian Dior Addict EDP embodies Carrie Bradshaw’s captivating aura with mandarin leaf, Tunisian orange blossom, and jasmine. The base keeps your interest with a decadent dose of bourbon vanilla. This scent will give you the confidence to go out and reinvent yourself, just like Carrie did in And Just Like That.
5. Vivienne Westwood Libertine EDT
Carrie Bradshaw adores Vivienne Westwood — she wore a Vivienne Westwood dress to her first “almost” wedding to Mr. Big! It comes as no surprise that her perfume collection also includes the designer, featuring Vivienne Westwood Libertine EDT. This Carrie Bradshaw perfume is a mix of passionfruit, grapefruit, honeysuckle, rose, oakmoss, musk, labdanum, and amber. The unique fragrance has an edginess that makes it a seamless fit for Carrie Bradshaw. The scent launched in 2000, and while it is no longer available, it adds to the unattainable characteristics of Carrie Bradshaw’s personality.
6. Frederic Malle Rose & Cuir EDP
Frederic Malle Rose & Cuir EDP was never spotted in Carrie Bradshaw’s apartment, but perfume devotees are imagining that this is the fragrance she will be wearing by the end of And Just Like That. After Carrie’s many reinventions and growth, this scent symbolizes an evolved and mature choice. Interestingly, the fragrance is formulated by the same perfumer as another fragrance in her collection — Hermes Eau D’Orange Verte — by Jean-Claude Ellena. Frederic Malle Rose & Cuir is a fresh, spicy, aromatic, and floral scent that captivates from the first spritz. The intriguing perfume blends geranium, black currant, pepper, and cassis with a base of vetiver and cedar. The two dominant accords, rose and leather, form an unforgettable combination. This captivating fragrance immediately holds your interest, just like Carrie Bradshaw.
7. Diptyque Baies Candle
Fans of And Just Like That were quick to point out the luxurious Diptyque candles in Carrie Bradshaw’s apartment. Diptyque candles smell incredible and make the decor statement fans expect from Carrie Bradshaw… but Diptyque candles are nothing new in her repertoire. As far back as Sex And The City season 4, a Diptyque Baies Candle was spotted burning in Carrie Bradshaw’s apartment! The candle is a blend of baies — or berries — and flowery rose accents, exactly what many imagined Carrie Bradshaw’s apartment would smell like!
And Just Like That: What is the rest of the cast spritzing?
From the early days of Sex And The City, Samantha Jones was a favorite character, and fans assumed her perfume range would be just as enchanting, and they were right! Her favorites include Victoria’s Secret Heavenly and Creed Spring Flower — while both scents have been updated since they appeared in Samantha’s apartment, we think she would still adore them! Victoria’s Secret Heavenly Dream Angel EDP is an alluring fruity gourmand scent with notes of raspberry, white strawberry, florals, musk, vanilla, and amber. Creed Spring Flower EDP is a white floral fragrance featuring lemon, grapefruit, jasmine, peach, musk, ambergris, and cedar…just as decadent as Samantha’s personality.
Charlotte York’s timeless choice for her nuptials to Harry Goldenblatt was Jean Paul Gaultier Classique EDT. This classic scent blends vanilla, ginger, and orange blossom into an unforgettable aroma.
Fans were disappointed when they didn’t spot any fragrances in Miranda Hobbes’ apartment until they realized it aligned with her practical personality. Her beauty buys included sensible options like Johnson’s Baby Oil and Vaseline. However, fans of the show predict that she will wear a fragrance like Hermes Un Jardin Sur Le Toit EDT, a clean and delicate perfume featuring apple, pear, and magnolia.
