Ever since college I became a little perfume obsessed with a few designer fragrances. These perfumes are a bit pricey, but there are some designer perfumes worth the splurge. To me, the perfect perfume has to smell amazing and last a whole day without losing scent. Before I invest in a new fragrance, I usually browse the women’s perfume section to pick my favorite to try on at the store so I can see how it lasts through the day. Most of them pass the test, which makes me feel a lot less guilty about splurging! If you’re looking for a new perfume to add to your collection, these are my top 4 designer perfumes worth the splurge that I highly recommend!
1. Chanel Chance – This was a perfume I was instantly sold on after trying and wearing just one day. It’s been my all time favorite perfume since college, and for good reason. The scent literally lasts for days, and not to mention, smells amazing. If you’re looking for a long lasting, timeless scent well worth every dollar, this is it. I like to wear this when I’m dressed up for a special occasion or when I know it’s going to be a long day.
2. Chloe – This designer fragrance is tied as my second favorite with the Miss Dior. The scent doesn’t linger for days like the Chanel, but it will get you through the day. It has a very feminine and chic feel to it and is great for everyday wear.
3. Dior Miss Dior – I was first introduced to this perfume by a sorority sister the night of our semi formal. She was wearing it and it immediately caught my attention as soon as I got into her car. I went out and bought a bottle for myself the next day! It’s formerly known as Miss Dior Cherie, but it’s the same scent, just a different name now. It has a very soft and sweet scent, almost like a faint sweet white wine smell, but in the best way possible.
4. Tory Burch – This is a unique fragrance that has a mix of floral and citrus tones. It’s the newest addition to my perfume collection, but will be one of those staples I always keep on hand, just like the other 3 perfumes on this list. Love it!
Do you have a favorite designer perfume worth the splurge?

Have you tried J’adore Dior? I got a sample a while back and LOVED it but haven’t been able to bring myself to splurge on it. I don’t wear perfume everyday so I felt like it wasn’t the most necessary purchase. But a friend of mine has it and I steal a little spritz every now and then!
Chrissy says
I really like Miss Dior although I think it’s a bit too sweet for the office. I really love Burberry Beats – I used to wear it a few years ago and recently rediscovered it – I think I will need a bigger bottle next time. I think they are well worth the splurge, because you only need a dab of them, so they will last longer than a cheaper scent.

I am so old school when it comes to perfume. I love Coco by Channel and have worn it for years. I think I need to branch out and try Chance:)
Christine says
I am always willing to splurge on my perfume because they usually last about a year for me so the cost doesn’t wind up being too bad after all!
Shannon says
I can totally vouch for the Chole perfume! One of my absolute favorites and smells so so good.

Chanel Chance has always been one of my very favorites. I also think Jo Malone scents are worth the money — they smell so fresh and natural!
