Fragrance Family: Floral
Key Notes: Peony accord, passion fruit, vanilla
Slightly warmer than your typical floral (thanks to the mellow additions of cosy vanilla and shimmery mandarin), this Chanel masterpiece was created by Jacques Polge in 1996. I'm partial to it since it's been my mum's signature for as long as I can remember.
Fragrance Family: Floral
Key Notes: Mandarin, pomelo, lychee, peony, cyclamen
Fragrance Family: Floral
Key Notes: Red apple, peony, suede
Fragrance Family: Floral
Key Notes: Orange blossom, jasmine, tuberose
Fragrance Family: Floral
Key Notes: Jasmine, orange blossom, Grasse tuberose, ylang-ylang
Consider Gabrielle your classic floral fragrance with kind of a fairytale twist. Famed perfumer Olivier Polge crafted this scent to represent an imaginary flower. It's equal parts rich, green, and elegant.
Fragrance Family: Floral
Key Notes: Lemon, mandarin, Jasminum sambac, neroli, musk, cotton candy
Fragrance Family: Floral
Key Notes: Tuberose, orange blossom, jasmine, amber wood
Fragrance Family: Floral
Key Notes: Citrus accord, gardenia, ylang-ylang, patchouli, sandalwood, vetiver oakmoss, benzoin
Fragrance Family: Floral
Key Notes: Grapefruit, quince, rose accord, white musk
I may be biased, but Chanel's lush, fruity take on florals is my all-time favourite fragrance from the brand. Classic bouquet notes like rose and jasmine are modernised with fresh hints of quince and grapefruit while the warming comfort of musk keeps the finish smooth and enveloping.
Fragrance Family: Floral
Key Notes: Pear accord, Lily of the Valley Accord, green black currant, musk
Fragrance Family: Floral
Key Notes: Grasse rose absolute, Italian mandarin, bergamot, white musk accord
Fragrance Family: Floral

Fragrance Family: Floral
Key Notes: Orange, patchouli, Turkish rose
If you're a fan of warm, earthy notes like patchouli but want something that still feels light and floral, then famed Chanel perfume Coco Mademoiselle will probably be your poison of choice. The mix of delicate rose and jasmine is brought to life with vibrant hits of orange and patchouli to create a robust and memorable scent. It's lively while still chic and sophisticated.
Fragrance Family: Floral
Key Notes: Ambrette, coconut water, patchouli, cotton musks, cocoa absolu, wild musk
Fragrance Family: Floral
Key Notes: Green tuberose, melon, orris butter, orange blossom, tuberose absolute, Jasminum sambac

Fragrance Family: Floral
Key Notes: Aldehydes, jasmine, neroli, sandalwood
You knew this was coming. Chanel N°5 will always be perhaps the most iconic perfumes of all-time (and that extends beyond the scope of just Chanel, folks). Though this is a true, classic floral fragrance, it's powdery and full-bodied thanks to trademark notes of aldehydes, along with earthy anchors like neroli, bourbon vanilla, and sandalwood.
