My top three choices are as follows:

1. The Beat by Burberry --- Not too strong but not too light with a sparkling floral wood scent. It's fun, dynamic, and expressive. I can wear this during work and while going out. I don't ever need to spray a lot and the bottle is very cool and simple. I'm so in love with this I purchased a second since I had an insider coupon at Bloomingdales. My friend works at a Bloomingdales makeup counter and says that this one has been selling like crazy despite being pricier than some other options.

2. 24 Faubourg and Héritage Perfume by Hermes--This is a superb selection. Many people have complimented me on it and it smells divine. It features a perfect blend of woody, floral, and citrus scents and I consider it to be one of the more sophisticated perfumes out there (Princess Diana apparently wore this which is what motivated me to try it out). Honestly, it's radiant and sensual but does cost a bit more. However, it's still worthwhile in my opinion!

3. Organza perfume for women by Givenchy -- Let me tell you something. I was a bit hesitant about this one because it came out in 1996. I didn't want to use some age-old scent. However, with its flowery and oriental aura, this fragrance is just so elegant. It's feminine without relying too much on floral components. I liked the fact that it blends honeysuckle, amber, nutmeg, and vanilla with gardenia. I wear this usually during the daytime but it's good enough for evening (I just enjoy mixing things up is all). It's truly lovely and I think it's a staple on any woman's dresser.

Another one I enjoy is Britney Spear's Fantasy. Honestly, the bottle is a gorgeous shade of hot pink and decorated with Swarovski crystals. It's very floral and fun but it's more of a summer or spring scent so I wouldn't recommend this for winter holidays.
