We all know and love Crystal Noir by Versace, Amarige by Givenchy, and Obsession by Calvin Klein. And, once you’ve added these fragrances to your collection, it’s easy to simply run back to them when the bottle threatens to run out.
But all of your favorite fragrances have plenty more delicious scents waiting to be admired that, for whatever reason, don’t get half as much attention as they deserve. But we’re on a mission to change that, one incredible perfume at a time.
Read on for all of the best hidden gems from your favorite fragrance brands!
Dolce & Gabbana Pour Femme Intense by Dolce & Gabbana
We all love Light Blue and we’re sure you all know someone who adores The One, but Dolce & Gabbana Pour Femme Intense is another top scent from the brand to add to your fragrance wardrobe. This underrated gem blends white floral and sweet notes with a hint of citrus. Its gorgeous red-pink bottle is another reason you’ll adore this bottle.

Figue Blanche by Versace
Few fragrances are as drastically underappreciated as Figue Blanche by Versace. This lesser-known bottle was launched in 2019 and blends heavy citrus notes with a fruity undercurrent.

Jimmy Choo L’eau by Jimmy Choo
A big fan of Jimmy Choo but growing a little tired of the regulars? Give Jimmy Choo L’eau by Jimmy Choo a spritz. Lighter than your standard Choo perfume but offering up the same meticulous blending, Jimmy Choo L’eau is floral and fresh with a musky, powdery base. Designed as a symbol of “radiant feminine sensuality”, Jimmy Choo L’eau is heavy on the hibiscus with a vibrant heart of nectarine and peony.
