Walk into any department store’s beauty section and you’ll be hit by a wave of perfumed scents. A mix of fragrances sprayed in the air from the colourful bottles of perfume testers on display.
It’s hard to pick a perfume, we totally get it. There are just so many choices available from elegant florals and seductive musks to refreshing fruity scents and even mouth-watering gourmand notes, plus, a combination of everything in-between.
But the type of perfume that’s on our radar now? It is what we call “naked perfumes”. These are transparent, clean, mellow fragrances, and the most important characteristic of a naked perfume? They should smell like they could very well be your natural (very pleasant) scent. The sexiest kind of perfume money can buy, if you ask us.
Want to sniff out these naked perfumes to try and buy? Here are our top picks.
