Top Rated Perfumes for Women

Searching for your new signature fragrance can feel like an overwhelming mission. With the multitude of perfume samples that lace fashion magazines and await you in department stores, just knowing where to start can be half the battle. If you're not sure yet what kind of perfume notes or families you like best, give one of the top-rated perfumes a try--whether it's an Old Hollywood classic or a hip new award-winner.

No list claiming to define the top-rated perfumes for women would dare to leave out Marilyn Monroe's signature scent, Chanel No. 5. This indisputable cultural icon was the first perfume to make such unapologetic use of synthetic notes, and its creation is enshrouded in myth. Allegedly, it got its name because it was the fifth sample that creator Ernest Beaux presented to Coco Chanel. Chanel No. 5 is a floral with top notes of bergamot, lemon, neroli and synthetic aldehydes; heart notes of jasmine, rose and lily of the valley; and base notes of sandalwood, vanilla and amber.

Angel by Thierry Mugler, created in 1992, launched the gourmand trend that took the perfume world by storm and influenced countless subsequent fragrances. A gourmand is a perfume with "edible" or food-flavored notes, such as chocolate, caramel, coffee or cotton candy. Angel is unique for a woman's perfume in that is has no flower notes. Instead, it has notes of bergamot, honey, red berries, vanilla, caramel, patchouli, chocolate and coumarin. It comes in a star-shaped bottle that you'll love to display on your vanity.

Lola by Marc Jacobs is the 2010 winner of the Fragrance Foundation's coveted UK Fifi Award. Jacobs wanted the fragrance to be "an over-the-top bouquet exploding from the bottle," and the fragrance's unique container reflects this--the huge cap is shaped like a blooming flower. Lola is an unmistakeably modern floral with top notes of pink peppercorn, pear and ruby red grapefruit; middle notes of rose, fuschia peony and geranium; and a warm, creamy drydown featuring vanilla, tonka bean and musk.

Rock star and fashion icon Gwen Stefani created the Harajuku Lovers series of fragrances. The name Harajuku is a nod to the over-the-top street styles of Japan. Harajuku Lovers G won the 2008 FiFi Award. The doll-shaped bottle houses a woody oriental fragrance with notes of mandarin, coconut, apple skin, jasmine, freesia and magnolia on a base of cream and sandalwood.
