1. Good Girl by Carolina Herrera
Why I like it:
This one takes top spot on my list for two reasons:
a) The INSANE smell that lasts all day literally
b) What’s more fun than a high-heeled shape perfume bottle?
Good Girl is the perfect pick for sophisticated girls (think corporate girl bosses) who want something sexy, feminine and bold.
Sweet. But not too sweet (because we don’t want to be smelling like an air freshner!
2. YSL Libre for Women
Why I like it:
a) It smells like freedom with a power suit on (truly).
b) The lavender-vanilla balance makes you feel instantly composed, like you’ve stepped into your CEO energy.
Libre is for the woman who’s stepping into her elevated, unapologetic self. The version of her that makes decisions quickly and trusts herself fully.
It’s fresh, warm, and sensual all at once. A signature scent for the woman who knows she’s becoming “that girl.”
3. Valentino Donna Born in Roma
Why I like it:
a) It’s the perfect mix of sweet, floral, and modern sexy (not one of those overpowering grandma florals!)
b) Men love this scent, but more importantly, women feel powerful in it.
c) The bottle looks like a designer studded handbag (and I’m not mad about it).
This is for the woman who wants to feel magnetic, playful, feminine, warm… but with an edge.
It’s the scent you put on when you want to feel like your most flirtatious, confident self without forcing anything
4. Burberry Goddess
Why I like it:
a) It’s one of the warmest, creamiest vanilla scents out there, but somehow still feels elegant and grown, not overly sweet.
b) The triple-vanilla blend gives you that “wrapped in softness” feeling that instantly calms your energy.
c) It projects beautifully without being loud, the perfect balance of subtle and powerful.
Burberry Goddess is for the woman who’s stepping into her soft feminine confidence- the kind of confidence that doesn’t need to shout to be felt.
It’s comforting, magnetic, and grounding all at once.
Think: warm vanilla, a hint of lavender, and a quiet kind of power. The scent you wear when you want to feel supported, centred, and undeniably you.
5. Prada Paradoxe
Why I like it:
a) It’s warm, feminine, slightly sweet but in a very grown-woman way.
b) The amber-musk combo feels like a hug for your nervous system (genuinely calming).
c) It’s one of those perfumes that smells expensive without being overwhelming.
Paradoxe is for the woman stepping into softness and self-worth- the version of her who doesn’t rush, doesn’t chase, and doesn’t question her power.
It’s elegant, comforting, and subtly sexy. The “I am the main character of my life now” scent.
Why Perfume Is Actually a Self-Worth Power Move
Okay, so let’s talk about why a simple bottle of perfume fits so perfectly into the whole “elevate your self-worth” universe. And honestly… it’s probably not for the reasons you think.
1. Perfume is a tiny self-worth ritual that sends a HUGE message to your subconscious
Every time you buy yourself something beautiful, take two minutes to smell amazing, or put intentional effort into how you show up… you’re basically telling your brain:
“I matter. I take care of me. I’m worth the effort.”
And your subconscious listens.
Just like people who deeply value health naturally find themselves going to the gym more or choosing nourishing foods, when you value self-care and the way you show up in the world, you start making choices that align with that identity effortlessly.
It’s not about the perfume itself… it’s about the woman you become when you choose it.
2. Smelling good instantly boosts your confidence (and your self-image)
There is nothing (nothing) like knowing you smell incredible.
It shifts something in your energy immediately.
You stand a little taller.
You speak with more certainty.
You move through the world with that “I’ve got this” vibe.
That confidence boosts the internal representation of yourself, the picture your subconscious holds of who you are. And when that picture becomes more confident, more grounded, more self-assured?
Your decisions get better.
You follow through more.
You attract more aligned opportunities.
It’s the ripple effect of feeling good in your own skin… all starting with a spritz.
Final thoughts
Out of all the scents on this list, Good Girl is still my ride-or-die.
The longevity, the femininity, the confidence it gives… it truly embodies that elevated, self-assured woman we’re all stepping into.
