As weird as it sounds, we all have our favourite scents. From the smell of wet grass after the first rainfall to the smell of cookies fresh from the oven, we all have a favourite. (You would be lying if you said you didn’t have one.) As much as I love the smell of freshly brewed coffee, my mini-collection of perfumes is what instantly puts me in a better mood. It’s actually been scientifically proved that scent can have a direct impact on your mood. So, if you need a pick-me-up, here are five perfumes that’ll do the trick:

1. Jo Malone Amber & Lavender eau de cologne

Ask anyone I know, and they’ll tell you how much I love the scent of lavender. It’s calming and refreshing, that’s why this perfume is one of my favourites. The woody notes of amber pair perfectly with the sweet scent of lavender. A few spritzes of this perfume is all the pick-me-up you need.

2. Versace Crystal Noir

This perfume has intense musky notes, and it’s perfect to wear on a date night. It contains amber, sandalwood and musk. This perfume is one of my favourites; in fact, every time I spray this perfume on my wrists, I can’t stop sniffing it!

3. Dior Miss Dior Cherie

This perfume with oriental notes is, without a doubt, unforgettable. It has notes of orange blossom, mandarin and vanilla. It reminds me of sunshine and picnics! That’s why just a few spritzes of this perfume instantly boost my mood.

4. Gucci Bloom

This fresh fragrance is as good as a bouquet of flowers. It’s made with exotic jasmine bud extract and tuberose. Smelling this perfume makes me feel like I’m in a field of flowers. (Sorry for the hyperbole, but it’s true!)
